***************************************************************

You continue to totally rock the Pinworthy Projects Party!  I have such a difficult time going through all the links and choosing some favorites.  Let’s take a look at some of your awesome projects and recipes from last week’s party!

Features 5-8

– I love the idea of making my own frame mattes shared by Decorating Cents. I can never find ones I like so this would totally fix that problem.

– How adorable is the fleece tunic dress for a young girl?  Peaches and Bees totally makes me wish I knew how to sew clothing {or anything}!

“I Dig You” Valentines for Kids

By 8 Comments

When I was a kid, exchanging Valentines with my friends was such a highlight of my school day.  H is getting pretty exciting about the party at her class so we decided to start working on the Valentines for her class.

I wanted to do something that could also be used for E’s class to so it couldn’t be too girly.  I decided on little shovel Valentines.

A Bright Spot in Our Guest Room

By 4 Comments

Recently, I was contacted by DecoArt about whether I would be interested in doing a project with their gloss enamels.  Let me tell you that I didn’t even stop to think about it…yes, yes, yes!  After all, I’ve never met a paint I didn’t like.

Remember that basement project we’ve been working on?  Well, it includes a {unofficial} guest room.  I didn’t want the guest room feeling like a basement room though so I’ve been working hard on adding little touches here and there to make it guest friendly.
It started with this glass carafe and glass for the bedside table.

Let’s Go on a Sleigh Ride

By 3 Comments

This post was originally shared over on Salt Tree but I wanted to share it with you here as well!

 For my kitchen decorations this year, I focused on bright reds and greens for the decor.

Someone keeps eating the M&Ms out of my little bowl…thieves!

One of the newest additions to the room started with this unfinished wood sled.

I taped stripes with painters tape and painted part of them red.

Once it was dry, I taped off the other stripes and painted them green. Then, I let the entire thing dry for several days before adding my vinyl lettering to the sled.

Are you ready for sleigh rides?

I love this sleigh because, even though it is red and green, I think it can stay out for decoration all winter!
