Red Dresser

I bought these dressers for $20 at a yard sale on Saturday.  I really LOVE how they turned out!  I am trying to decide on whether or not to add the mirror on the bigger dresser.  What do you think?  I would love a super cute quilt for her bed.  I love this quilt!

Applique Wall Art



nursery rhymes from an old book framed above crib.

 
 

I bought these wooden rings a the DI. The "I am a Child of God" was the only one I left alone. The other ones were taken apart and I made these new appliqued art to put in them. I hung them in the nursery.

Framed Patterns



I found these old patterns form the 70's at the trift store (DI) for 50 cents each. I painted some old dollar store frames I found in my basement and put cute scrapbook paper behind them.

Diaper Bag







This bag was made from some good deals! I bought the black fabric from a local thrift store (DI), the Amy Butler fabric (found in long 6 inch strips. I sewed them together) I found at another thrift store (Savers), I bought the pattern for the bag at Savers, and the interfacing I used is from a yard sale. I did alter the pattern a little bit, mostly the pockets and a few other places to get the max use out of the Amy Butler fabric.

Happy Girls




Posted by Picasa*EDIT*
To make this, I used a thin canvas (not a stretch canvas).  I am sure you could use either.  I painted the background with acrylic paint.  I cut the tree and girl out of felt.  I layed it on the canvas and designed it as I went. I used my sewing machine to do some stitching on the tree trunk and her dress.  I hand stitched her face.  I glued it on with Fabri-Tac glue (LOVE this glue.  I use it ALL the time.  I may retire my glue gun.)  I cut leaves from felt and also from some shimmery ribbon I bought at the home decor store (I use it to decorate for parties, on my Christmas tree, and on my railing at Christmas)  I used the Fabri-Tac to glue on all the leaves.  After the felt was all glued on, I used a needle and thread to make the rope for the swing.  I glued buttons on the tree and green grass.  I used rub on letters for the saying.

You could use whatever you have in your craft stash.  Be creative!

Mouse Pad Recover

The free mouse pad.

I ripped the top off.

I traced it onto a fabric remnant.

I mod pogged the fabric onto the mouse pad and trimmed the edges.
