Wooden Spindle Sign For Christmas
Sometimes I make myself laugh out loud. I am far from perfect and make the same silly mistakes that you may make on your projects. Just remember to laugh at yourself and not take it too serious. That’s the case in this JOY wooden spindle sign I made for Christmas.

Christmas Ornaments from Tree Branches
In early November I lost an old friend. This water maple tree which is older than me has given me shade for the last 37 years. It had seen better days. Every time a storm rolled through, I expected it to fall on the house. Part of it did fall on the patio cover…
DIY Hardware Christmas Tree Decor
I love hardware of all sorts. When I decided to do a DIY (hardware) Christmas tree, I spent a couple of hours at my local True Value—Keith’s Hardware—on two different occasions. I walked up and down every aisle looking at all the items with fresh eyes, taking pictures on the first trip. When…
How to Print Photos {images} on Fabric
Years ago I printed on fabric, and I’ve been wanting to do it again. I decided to put my new Canon PIXMA MG7120 printer to the test to see how it would do. Cute Reindeer image I chose a couple of great images from The Graphics Fairy. I ironed a piece of scrap drop…
Reclaimed Wood Christmas Trees
Over the summer I got this fence from my sister Jo, well, this and a whole LOT more! I use the good boards to make signs for My Repurposed Life Etsy shop. This one was for a rehearsal dinner clambake. Many of the boards are too rough to paint on,…

Hello MRL readers, I’m Stephanie, and I am so happy Gail has given me the opportunity to share a Silhouette project with you all.

Tomato Cage Christmas Tree
Hi! I am Kelly from My Soulful Home. Glad to meet you! I am so excited to be guest posting here at “My Repurposed Life”. Repurposing comes naturally to me. When I was little shoe boxes became the Barbie dream house. In college last year’s text books became my bedside table. As a homeowner…

DIY Corner Christmas tree
I got a new couch and love seat! My former set was almost 13 years old and only seated three people. That made things a little uncomfortable when Jamie, Andy and Lucy visited for Thanksgiving. Now I have room for visitors to have a seat! This is the side of the living room where I’ve…
Home Depot Gingerbread House 2012
Jamie and I did some “black Friday” shopping. My favorite stop was Home Depot. It was mid-morning when we got there. The craziness was over, and I had a great time. All of the associates were so friendly and helpful. We specifically went there to pick up a Home Depot Gingerbread House. Of…

upcyled chair spindle Christmas Trees {craft fail?}
Imitation is the best form of flattery, right? My good friend Holly from Full Circle Creations makes these really great trees-not this one, that one is mine. I’m sure Holly would not want to claim it. It all sounded good when I started. I put a call out on facebook for an unwanted Christmas tree….
vinyl projects mirror ideas
I was recently contacted by Oh My Crafts to review their vinyl. I got a bunch of 12×24 inch sheets. I spent the weekend playing around with my Silhouette Cameo and my new vinyl sheets. I cut some lumber too—random sizes of boards. It’s very handy to paint in the basement workshop! I used some…

How to make Christmas vinyl reusable
I made this very easy Christmas decoration last year. All of the stores have jumped on the vinyl bandwagon. You don’t have to own a vinyl cutter to get a nice vinyl sign. I painted a board white, and placed the vinyl on the board. Reusable year after year! I am so glad I did…
