Last fall, I made the Twins for Missy’s mom Mary. Mary was sweet enough to send me some extra goodies! Some bed parts-legs and spindles. A headboard and a foot board was also included in the stash. This is the footboard. I cut the little “tab” pieces that formerly fit into the bed…
You may be familiar with these type of signs. They make great wedding gifts—I gave a sign to Jamie and Andy yesterday at their bridal shower in Nashville (Goodlettsville) TN. The pictures were all taken at my home (jamie’s childhood home). I thought that having the pictures taken around my yard would hold more significance…
My friend and I were shopping at one of our Peddler’s Malls when we saw a quote we liked. I decided to make it into a sign for her. While visiting jamie last year I went to her Habitat For Humanity Re-Store and picked up several drawer front boards. I chose one that I thought…
I’ve showed you a lot of projects lately that have not been finished. Maybe my brain is too overworked, or off base, I’m not really sure. I tend to take my time unless something just comes to me. I showed you how I made the vinyl for this sign yesterday. Remember this font? I think…
I am really loving my Silhouette! I love to do quick and easy projects with it. The software is pretty easy to use and I like that! This is one of my layouts. See all those flourishes? I didn’t need them all, but I like to fill in all of my dead space. The BEWARE…
I previously won a giveaway and received this vinyl: I recently ordered two more items from Laura. This has been one of my favorite sayings for awhile now! I found a couple of scrap pieces of MDF in the garage and trimmed them into squares. This is the other item…
Easy Subway Art for that someone special! Granny is really my Aunt. She is my mom’s sister. My mom passed away when my daughter Jamie was just nine years old. That is a very young age to no longer have any grandmas. During all the family gatherings, all the other kids would call Aunt…
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…
Do you know Michelle over at: If you don’t know Michelle, you should really check out her blog. She works really hard to share a lot of creative ideas from all over blogland! In early December I was lucky enough to win a giveaway for vinyl from: Laura is so sweet and I was very…
A little over a month ago I won a giveaway from Jen at: If you don’t know about Jen’s website, you should check it out as soon as you’re finished reading today’s post. The giveaway was for a $25.00 gift code to an ETSY store. I must be honest, I had seen Kristi’s store before….
I put these subway art(ish) pieces together at Wordle. You simply type in the words you want, then hit “go”. There are lots of directions, I’ll just touch on a few as we go. There are different color combinations. gail gail gail repurpose repurpose repurpose saw~drill~screw paint paint my~repurposed~life NETS this: making a few changes…
Do you remember this Laundry sign I made last month? I made it from this frame I picked up for $1.00. See the frame laying on the coffee table turned into bench? I dug it out of the garage and was looking for a piece of luan to cut to fit it. Voila! Will you…
A while back I showed you these two white frame-a-ma-jigs. (I love making up words). I’m not sure what they are. I think they may have been some kind of cabinet door frames. I paid $1.00 each for them. If you missed it, you can see what I did with the coffee table in the…
For those of you who do not know, I was given this fence. All I had to do was remove it. The first thing I made from the fence was this rustic Americana flag for our Independence Day. I showed you this rustic shelf I made out of some of the fence pieces. When I…
I made a Family Rules Sign, the hard way! These signs are everywhere. I think they are so cool. I wanted one for my living room. You know I’m all about using what you have. I did not have a wide board, but I have a lot of luan. Build up the Family Rules sign…
