Look what I made!.....

For Mother's Day this year I made these really adorable, really easy jewelry frames for my daughters, daughter-in-laws, Mom (of course), two of my lovely friends and also as a B-day gift for a teenager -whew, seriously I made about ten of these babies!



I started with this-

Alot of scrapbook paper and modpodge.



and this -

Plastic canvas and many colors of Krylon Spray paint.



and this -

Fabric, fake flower wire, gorilla glue and/or hot glue.



and this -

Frames and again, many colors of Krylon Spray paint.



Here we are in process:

First the letters - I just ripped the paper and modpodged it to the letters.

Then the flowers - I just wrapped the fabric around the wire and rolled it, gluing as I went. I discovered half way through that I really didn't need the wire. Oh well, what ever works best for you is the way to go!

The plastic canvas covered with lace - I spray painted some of the canvas and some I didn't, then I covered them with lace, but you don't have too.

The frames - Just sray painted the frames, they don't have to be perfect, you want them to have character.

I added this Krylon glitter to some of the frames -

Then I put them all together and added little hooks for necklaces, bracelets or rings.

Here are the final results -

Here are some close-ups -

Earrings hook to the canvas. Rings, necklaces, bracelets and watches hang on the hooks. They look so cute hanging on the wall, just like artwork that serves a purpose. How awesome is that?!



I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed making them! I am linking to

Made By Me Monday...

So I am trying to get here more often, but I guess I should be proud that I am at least here once a week. I will try for more but won't beat myself up if I don't make it. So first things first - Happy House cleaning goals, I am doing pretty good so far, been making my bed and emptying the sink almost every day. It is amazing how fast things fall apart if I miss a day. So this week it is those two plus clearing clutter everyday for ten minutes, I know that will make a difference. Now to share one of my newest projects with you, it is my "H" wall,

It actually grew to be an "H" corner, and I love it!! It really is one of my favorite things in my house! What do you think? Until later, Hugs, Shelly

Made by Me Monday...

So I really am wanting to get back into this blog stuff heavy duty, but my life is sooo busy right now that I am having a heck of a time fitting it in. But I will not give up. So first things first, for the second week of Happy House Rules we are making sure our sink is clear when we go to bed. So we are now 1. Making our beds and 2. Emptying our sinks. Now for the more fun business I am going to try to put something I have done on every Monday, keep me motivated right? So hear is my latest window project

What do you think? I really like it and it was so simple to do, I have a few things that I haven't shared yet so please come back each Monday. I have noticed that I have lost so many followers and how can you blame them I have been on invisibility for so long. But to those of you who have remained Thank you, I promise to keep on trying. Until later, Hugs, Shelly

Name blocks...

What a great long weekend! I got so much done and even finished two sets of name blocks.
The first set I did for my little grandie Taylor-

The second set I did for my little grandie Rayden-

I am so happy with how they turned out and they cost me less than $5 to make both sets!

Have a great week!
Until later,

Craft room redo...

I had been working on my Craft room redo for quite awhile and had it just about finsished it when I got some new information...my oldest son and my two year old grandie Rayden were moving home on New Years Day! It is fun to have a little one running around but I do miss the space and my Dining room now looks like hoarders are living in my little cottage! I do have some pictures of some of the things I had done to share though, so I hope you enjoy- This room will again some day be my craft and dressing room, hence the sign on the wall-

I love this little shelf vignette with candles, ribbon and bling! Aren't the glow in the dark moon and stars and the sun mirror fun?!

This wall holds most of my organization stuff- my ribbon organizer, my paper drawers, my sewing machince and my homemade white board and magnet boards-

I loved how this room was evolving and I can't wait to work on it again, but for now I am just going to enjoy my grandie!

Pink lamp redo...

While I was in the process of redoing my craft room, which will soon be another post, I decided I needed a little lamp for the room. It had to fit 2 criteria 1. It had to be cheap 2. It had to be adorable.
What do you think?

I started with this -

I spray painted a lamp shade Krylon Ballet Slipper, which I already had. I attached flowers that I made awhile ago and Walla! It is both cheap (paid 2 dollars for the lamp at the DI) and adorable!
Here are some more views -

I really do love it!
