What’s better than fun Patriotic wreath, that took less than 30 minutes to make? A wreath I can use all summer, and change out the flowers and ribbon any time… I wanted some fun, bright decorations for my front porch for the Fourth of July that wouldn’t take a long time to make. And I…
Burlap
Vintage Kitchen Wreath
I hope you all had a wonderful week. I had a whirlwind kind of week, and I think I am getting caught up! I was invited to speak to our MOMS group at our church last week which was a blast! We had almost an hour together, and I had so much fun sharing thrifty living…
DIY Burlap Spring Wreath
Spring is almost here, and I don’t know about you but I am so ready! I cannot wait to see the first tiny shoots push thru the dirt and bloom for us. The bright yellow daffodils, longer days, and more yard sales of course. While we wait a few bright, pretty projects can surely tide…
Shabby Frame & Typography Project
Shabby Frame & Typography Project {if you have not already, click here to enter the giveaway for Miss Mustard Seed’s new book!!) Creating special pieces of art and home decor for our homes does not need to be expensive or complicated either. Sometimes the most beautiful flower arrangement is a handful of quickly cut flowers…
Vintage Industrial Inspired Message Board
Burlap? Check. Old picture frame with hideous oak stain (and no glass)? Check. A little paint, a stencil, paper, jute twine and a piece of cork? Check. Check. Last but not least, a pretty lone vintage fork I have had forever? Check! The hallway leading from my kitchen to the garage is a great place…
No Sew Burlap Tree Skirt
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… I like to decorate my front porch for Christmas (ok every season-but especially Christmas) almost as much as the inside of my home. I have had these two mini trees for years, and have always loved using them on the porch, or fireplace hearth. This…
Vintage Paper Garland
I made this Christmas garland before twelveOeight was born last year, so please forgive me for not-so-elaborate step by step photos. But I will tell you what I did… I found some Vintage Sheet Music at a local thrift store last year and I knew I wanted to make a girly, pretty garland with…
How To Make Burlap Christmas Trees
Happy weekend right before Thanksgiving everyone! Are you totally relaxed and have your menu planned out and turkey thawing or worried and not sure where to start? I am finding myself somewhere in between but cannot stop crafting. Since I am beginning to decorate for Christmas this week I figured I could, should really,…
DIY Burlap Table Runner And Fabric Roses
What’s better than burlap? The only thing I can think of are no-sew burlap projects! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy sewing, but my love affair with my hot glue gun gets downright crazy around the holidays. I have tables, tablescaping, and table settings on the brain so forgive me if I ramble on about…
Burlap And Book Page Pumpkins
The boys and I recently braved the rain and went on our annual pumpkin search and hay ride. We drank a lot of wonderful homemade apple cider, kept warm under a lean-to with an outdoor fire, and had a whole bunch of fun while finding some really beautiful pumpkins. Our loot included corn stalks, gourds, and apple cider for us…
