hi

We haven’t posted anything here in a while. Sometimes life has just gotten in the way. We have been making things but not very consistently. We are going to try and do better. We have made things mostly as gifts for friends or family . And we don’t want to post about them until we have given them to the person, then we forget to come on to post. We don’t price out those gifts but, if you are interested in purchasing one just let us know and we will get you a price. We will be posting things that we are selling and including pricing, pricing will not include tax and shipping but we will get that to you before we charge you.

Gnomes for all seasons

Over a year ago, we started with an idea. We wanted to create some decoration that could be up all year long. So now that we have made up a few, we wanted to show you. Gnomes with interchangeable hats. Gnomes are $35 plus tax and shipping. Additional hats are $12.50 plus tax and shipping. Hats are a limited supply. It really depends on what material we can find and how much material we buy at the time.

This handcrafted, wall hanging gnome with interchangeable hats will add whimsy to any home! It is made on a sturdy metal frame so it hangs well.  It can be used throughout the year for the holidays, events, or seasons! It measures approximately 12”x 23”.

The hats are interchangeable. Use a different hat for each holiday or Season.

Winter

The beards can be this gray/white, white coarse, or white fine. You can purchase additional hats.

June Bulletin Board

This year we thought to change June up a little.  Normally we would do something for Father’s day.  We went another direction,

We started with a wire wreath.  Wrapped in burlap.

Next we added some flowers and some greenery.

We wanted to put some fun ducks at the bottom.

Add some cute lettering for the month of June

Put them up with the actual calendar.

May Bulletin Board

May always has Mother’s Day.  So how to decorate the bulletin Board for May?  Something with mothers in it.

Took a couple of wooden picture frames and painted them white.  Then put some floral foam around the edges so I could put some pretty flowers around the frames.

I found some pictures of mothers with their children to put in the frames.

Made new letters to match the colors.

This is how it looks on the actual bulletin board,

Thanks for stopping by!!

Ariel Birthday Shirts

So our granddaughter in Utah called us and asked us to make her a turquoise, Ariel, 6th birthday princess shirt! How could we say no?!!!

We bought the first shirt in the wrong size so instead of taking it back we decided to make one without the lettering.  It is fairly easy to layer the HTV but here are a few pictures of the process.

And then the card needed to match of course!!!

We hope that our birthday girl likes them!

Thanks for stopping by!!

April Bulletin Board – Easter/Christ

For the April bulletin board we went with the Easter/Christ theme.

From our decorations we came up with these colors for the title.

We started with some 5×7 canvases and painted them with a festive pink background.  We used a matching paper for the background and put lettering to convey our message.

 

For the Risen, we used popups to make it stand away from the canvas.

Here it is, all together.  We think it turned out cute!!!

Thanks for reading our blog!
