Hi everyone,

Did you see the freebie from the Pickled Pepper Patch? If not, then over to Char's blog and grab this from her Share box before it is gone:

I love the way they turned out. I have always been more of a "wood" chick, but I am liking this muslin sewing stuff. I just need to get more confidence with it. Anyway, here are the 7 candy canes that I made. As you can see, I put 4 in this cute little jar on my kitchen countertop and used the last 3 in this greenery swag on top of my dining room hutch.

Holiday blessings to ya, Kim

cute little lamp

Hi guys,

I was at the Women of Purpose conference in Hershey, PA a few weeks ago. While there, we went to the Hershey Outlets. In the adorable store, Christmas Tree Hill, I found this lamp for $11.00 I love the way it looks and fits into this spot on my kitchen countertop. I bought the Christmas ring to go around it there too. It has greenery, tin snowflakes, a few candy canes and a snowman attached to it. It is very crisp and neat looking don't ya think?

Enjoy your day, Kim

This was a frame that I found at GW. It had a picture of a little girl holding a rabbit. I turned around the picture and stenciled Jesus on it. I love the depth of this frame.

Does your pretty, wooden, dining room table look like this too? I will be doing "redo"s until next year- ha ha!! Good deals from garage sales, GW and Salvation Army. Happy crafting, Kim

wooden bin redo (craigslist find!!)

I am so excited about this wooden bin that I got off of craigslist for $25.00 Everyday I type into the for sale search box: wooden or primitive or chandelier. Well when I saw this I knew I had to have it. I met the lady only 10 minutes from my house. I love it, but now that I painted it I really love it. I chose barn red over top of black. I sanded it and used Minwax Dark Walnut to finish it.

What do ya think?? Have a great one, Kim

snowman faces in a frame (very easy)

Hello,

I thought I would share this little snowman picture that is very easy to make. First I found a long rectangular frame at GW. I painted it black and sanded it. Then, I cut out homespun to fit the cardboard backing of the frame. I "tacky" glued it to the cardboard. Next, I used a plastic drinking cup to get my circle pattern. I cut out 3 circles in osnaburg muslin and 3 in warm and natural. I "tacky" glued the warm and natural first, then I glued the osnaburg on top of that. I cut out funny shaped noses from orange homespun. I glued those on too. Finally, I painted dots for the eyes and mouths. I think it turned out cute. I am thinking of taking them off and "grungying" up with coffee mix though. Enjoy!! If you have small frames, just make one face.

wooden plate redo

Hi guys,

I am soooo excited for the holiday season!! I have been going crazy making things thanks to your tutorials, free patterns and GW stuff. It is so hard to find the time when you work full time, have two children, a hubby a dog and love to run. Well anyway, for the next few posts you will see a lot of my makeovers and end products from patterns and tutorials that you put out there. Thanks.

This is a plate that I picked up for $0.99 at GW. I repainted it and stenciled Glory to God in the Highest. I like how it turned out.
