After I posted about my washer monogram art, my lovely assistant in Chicago decided she wanted one for her new apartment. We share the same last initial so it was fun to try another version.As a reminder, here is the original one I made for our house in a small 5 x 7 frame. Simple and modern, which fits our style. I went a little more traditional with the font selection for hers. I printed out the M to fit on a 11 X 14 flat canvas so she could easily put it in any frame that matched her decor. I … [Read more...]
privacy please – simple fabric curtain
I've been on a sewing kick lately and trying to be productive. My craft room closet is pretty organized but there is no way to close it to cover up the crafting stash when we have company over. I ripped out the door when we moved in because I hated the door and wanted easy access to the space. More importantly, I share my craft closet with the kitties - their litter boxes are hidden in there since it is out of the way. While we have "pretty" Booda Dome litter boxes they are not really design … [Read more...]
good day sunshine – yellow pillowcases
We are slowly making our way through the second phase of our renovation. Since I know it will take forever, I'm taking advantage and crossing little decorating projects off of the list to make it feel like we are accomplishing something. Our family room gets amazing natural light thanks to full glass pane french doors and huge windows facing the West. It's our favorite room in the house even though it still currently looks pretty ragged. There is a huge list of major renovation projects to be … [Read more...]
start being awesome
Another Pinterest inspiration. Are we noticing a trend here? My friend fell for this and since she swears she is not crafty she recruits me to make it for her. It was available at some point at an Etsy shop but the link no longer is valid. Via Pinterest - Etsy link is brokenA funny tidbit for you - this friend reports to me at work. We have been friends outside of work since before she started reporting to me. I think her recruiting me to do her craft projects is her way of getting me back for … [Read more...]
ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon – diy ribbon organization
I have a craft supply shopping problem. At least I can admit it. It doesn't help that the hubby encourages it. Yes ladies, he is a keeper for sure.I LOVE ribbon. I buy ribbon even if I don't have a planned project for it. I buy it just because it's pretty...is that bad? The only problem with pretty ribbon is storage. My desk drawer system wasn't working at all so I was inspired on Pinterest to use a hanger to store my ribbon. Pulled out a hanger out of my closet and was thrilled with the … [Read more...]
diy ikea chalkboard table – ikea hack
We only have furry kids but I am surrounded by a bunch of little ones thanks to all my friends. Most of them call me Tia - which is Spanish for Aunt - so I try to keep up with the proper Auntie behavior and spoil them rotten. I have always wanted to pick up the Rustoleum Chalkboard Paint but had no idea what I would make to justify the purchase. In comes the IKEA Lack Side Table and a reason to finally buy the paint. IKEA hacks are great because you can take a relatively inexpensive … [Read more...]
