A touch of Spring

I am counting the days until Spring. I decided to put away my snowmen and put out some Spring decor. There are a few things I love to decorate for the different seasons. My favorite things to decorate are my Hoosier Cabinet, my three tier tray and my farmhouse sink. I will show a few photo's.

Snow days

I was lucky to get off two days from my job for the snow we received. I took advantage and worked on some projects. I finished a wool applique project, pattern by Buttermilk Basin. I painted some canning jars and put some spring flowers in them. I made a huge wreath, and some homemade cinnamon rolls.
Such a fun day! A day for me.

Projects

I enjoy crafting so much. But with working two jobs my time for crafting is limited. I was able to spend today crafting. I made a Valentine Wreath with all items from the dollar tree, except the gold ribbon that I got for $1.00 at walmart. If you would like to watch a step by step tutorial I am adding the link "This Southern Girl Can"  , this girl is so funny and offers so many quick and inexpensive tutorials.

I enjoy doing wool applique and have several projects that I want to get completed. I have the wool pieces cut and attached to table runner. It is called the January Vintage Table runner  pattern by Buttermilk Basin. I need to do the stitching and add buttons for the snowman's eyes.

I will show some projects that I want to complete this year.

I love the entire Christmas Season.

LED Candles from the Dollar Tree DIY

I am so much enjoying making different Christmas crafts. My latest is LED candles with Winter images. I download an image that I like and print it on tissue paper. Here is a simple "You tube" tutorial on how to do it. How to print on Tissue Paper
 After doing this I gently tear around the image that I want for the candle. Apply modpodge to the candle where I want to apply the image. Gently apply the picture. I use a small wadded up piece of plastic wrap to smooth out the picture from the center outwards. Next I let this dry and apply another coat of modpodge to the picture. After this is almost completely dry I apply modpodge to the rest of the candle. I sprinkle glitter glass over it, regular glitter would work. Then I let this dry.  Here you have a beautiful candle for a little over a dollar.
 I wish I knew how to fix my blog so that you could leave comments.  Hope you enjoy this quick little tutorial.

DIY Pillow Cases

I love watching you tube videos by "Missouri Star Quilt Co.", she has a variety of tutorials on many things. She has a simple tutorial for making pillow cases. I decided to make them for my grandchildren for Christmas. Here are the two I have made for the girls. I am still on the look out for the right fabric for the boys. I think they turned out so cute. Such a fun and quick project. Here is a link to the video. Pillowcase tutorial

The skulls I don't really like but my teenage granddaughter Riley loves them.
