Wine Gift Bag

So I am no wine connoisseur.  In fact I haven’t found a wine I like.  But maybe my taste buds will develop beyond a 5-year old one day and I won’t be so picky and I might enjoy a glass.  However, I have friends and family who love going to wine tastings and trying different kinds of wine.  To them it is a hobby. So today I made a glittered double wine gift bag perfect for giving to a wine-loving individual on your Christmas list.

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You Sign

I scored some free fencing off of Craigslist earlier this year.  Trying to keep on a tight budget with this Operation Restoration: Home Edition project forced us to think creatively about art on the walls.  Denise picked the lyrics “How Sweet It Is (To be Loved by You)” lyrics for the sign which is so appropriate for this family.

Love Tree Wall Art

I found this Love Tree Wall Art on Land of Nod.  I have a friend having a baby girl and her nursery is midcentury modern with bright primary colors.  I thought it be a cute shower gift to make her some modern art for the baby’s nursery. Using 7 different premium vinyl colors from Silhouette I was able to recreate this using my Silhouette Cameo.

Embellished Canvas Bag

So I thought I would make an embellished one with some rosettes and ruffles. One of my favorite upbeat worship songs is “Oh Happy Day” by {…Read More…}





Basketball Mom Shirt

I am no stranger to my Silhouette Cameo machine but after two years of working with Silhouette I had never tried the rhinestones.  I was very hesitant because I have never had luck with blinging stuff out before using rhinestones.  Well I tried the Silhouette rhinestone kit this month and let me tell you…I was {…Read More…}





Wood Slatted Sign {Roadkill Rescue}

I was challenged this month on Indy Style (the local lifestyle show I am on monthly) to repurpose an old playpen from like the 1950s.  Now, I am not a safety freak but this thing is scary to put a small child or baby in.  Holy nelly!  But the piece was solid and it had {…Read More…}





Personalized Beyblade Case

Do you have a younger elementary age boy? Do they love Beyblades too?   My Isaac is in kindergarten and his world revolves around “3-2-1 Let It Rip!”   That is Beyblade speak for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about.   I decided we needed a storage option for {…Read More…}
