Spring Wreath

The other night Hubby, Addie and I went for a walk around the neighborhood.  I was admiring everyone's spring decorations, when it hit me!  I never made a spring wreath!!  I was so consumed with decorating my mantle for spring that I completely forgot.  I have a million things going on - orders and working on stuff for my sister's baby shower - but I can put all that aside to throw together a quick wreath, right?  Of course!!  So that's what I did.  Our house is a like an army green color, so I knew that yellow was my color of choice.  I have had the same spring wreath for about 9 years now, and the flowers were way faded on it - it had definitely seen better days.  So - I removed everything from the wreath except for some yellow flowers that were still in good shape.  Then I quickly made some rosettes and burlap flowers and I was done.  I did, however, burn the living daylights out of my fingers with my hot glue gun.  Oh well - that's what I get for rushing I guess.  LOL.

That's it - quick and easy!  Now I have to go nurse my crafting wounds...

Embellished Shirts!

Hey everyone!  This is going to be a quick post today - I am headed to the airport to go visit my mom for a week - yay!!  I had a million things to do before my trip yesterday, but instead spent the majority of the day making these shirts to bring with me.  Priorities people!  :o)  I just started with some old t-shirts that I had, made some flowers, and presto - some new shirts to bring on my trip!  The white one took no time, but the red took WAY longer than I had anticipated.

I am going to be gone for a week, my mom is recovering from surgery and needs some help.  I will try to post as much as I can.  I figure I am going to either have a ton of time on my hands, or none at all.  Have a great week!!

Day 4 - Shower Curtain Redo

Man - LONG project, this one took me all day (plus I made a pot roast - hubby's favorite).  I am in the midst of re-decorating my downstairs bathroom.  We painted it a creamy white about 4 months ago, and this shower curtain has been on my list forever.  Please don't look at the rest of the room, it is pretty stark right now.  I know a few things I want to do, but haven't quite figured it all out yet.


In any case, this is what the shower curtain looked like before - totally boring, right?

And here it is after.  I hand stitched all of these rosettes - my first time doing that!  I'm pretty proud of myself!  

What do you think?  I still think it's missing something.  I had tied strips of the blue fabric to the tab tops, but then it looked too babyish.  I'm happy with it for now though.  I think once I get everything else done in there it will be just enough.  Yay - on to the next project!
Till tomorrow!!

Order Up!

Just finished and shipped my first boutique order - how exciting!!  The headbands came out so nice, and I am really proud of them.  Now, to move on and start generating some more orders.  I have some ideas for future merchandise, so I need to get moving on the samples.  Is there anything in particular you would like to see?  Would love your comments and suggestions.  


These are some of the items that were included in the Boutique order - color variations of my original post from Facebook.  Isn't my little Addie becoming quite the model?  She makes weird faces when she knows a picture is coming - very unnatural fake smiles - it's kind of funny, so I have to snap her when she isn't ready.  


Justin took a picture of me working last night - you can see what the craft desk looks like now that I have projects underway.  Not so neat right now...
