Quilted Camper

It's so hot outside, I sat and made little quilted campers inside. I appliquéd one camper on canvas and the other on a bag.

Metal Stamped Spoons

I have wanted to try stamping spoons forever! I need to be a bit steadier when I hammer the letters on, but I was happy with my first real attempt. I wanted holes drilled at the top of the spoons, and my best husband in the whole world showed me how! He really is a wonderful man and I sure do love him! Here is how I stamped my spoons; first I hammered the spoons flat. Next I stamped the letters on the spoons (I started with the center letters and worked my way out so the letters were evenly spaced). When I stamped the letters, I placed the metal stamp on the spoon and hit it hard on top with a hammer. Last, I took a black sharpie and went over the stamped letters, then I used a little piece of fine steel wool to take the leftover sharpie off the spoon.

Here's What's New

Shannon, thank you for sharing how to make the window frames beautiful!! A friend gave me 2 frames and they have been sitting here for months. I just love them now!!

Magazine Love!

I do love magazines! I have some that I have saved for years and years. I finally decided to let go of most of them. I tore out the best pages, 3 hole punched them and put them in a binder. It is like having the best of the best in a book! The little pictures or ideas I glued or attached to pages of my smash journal. Now I can actually find ideas that I cut out and not have to go through a big pile of odds and ends. Also, I freed up so much space in my art room.

Heart Tin Holder

Here is another quick project. I took a piece of wood. Painted it. Glued on heart tins, and ta-da, a junk holder.

Old Cupboard

I found this cupboard at an antique store. I loved the color inside, so I just cleaned it out really good and added the enamel numbers above the old nail hooks. I gave the outside a light coat of chalk paint and waxed it. Fun find!
