A chair..and a quilt............

Well I found this chair super cheap at a local thrift store..I like the old look to it.. but I knew right away that the seat was not gonna work for me..the print..yuck! Just not cute...... but it was sturdy and in great condition (for an old chair) also, the seat wasnt even attached...so it was super easy to see how to redo the fabric..
I got it for under $15.... then went to Joanns to look for the fabric..now that was hard..I knew I wanted something light. I found this greenish teal color and loved it! I got it for 40% off too!! So it cost me $6 for the fabric to recover it!
It doesnt look a ton different but I really like it now!





Here is my new quilt for my bed. I bought the fabric a few years ago...and I finally finished it! I took the top to Washington with me and quilted it on my grandmas machine... I love it!
The squares were easy..the flowers were a lot more work..

Block pictures............

I learned how to Modge Podge from some ladies from church..and now I'm loving it...My husband cute these blocks out then nail and glues them together....Then I cut my pictures out and put them on..I love it...Guess who is going to be making more of these??!!!






I finished a quilt for my bed..I just need to take pictures and post them..I love it so much and it took me along time of start adn stop...to finally get it done!

Bottlecap magnets........

These are fun!! and so easy!!
Items you need:

• bottlecaps (I bought mine off of ebay..100 for 10 bucks!)
  
• diamond glaze
• scrapbooking paper (make sure it has small print)
  
• 1 inch circle hole punch
• glue stick
• magnets
• E-600 glue

First you need to cut your paper... use your 1 inch paper punch to make perfect circles! You can use scrapbook paper, newspaper, magazines, printed pictures (laser printer only) ..use your imagination!


Then you will glue the paper to the inside of the bottle cap. Use your glue stick and make sure it is sealed flat. If it is not flat you will get air bubbles later when you add the diamond glaze.



Now glue on your magnets to the back. You need to use the E-6000 glue! Use nice solid magnets that will hold your stuff to the magnet board.


At this point you can add embellishments if you like..You can add beads, buttons glitter ect.
Lastly you will fill your bottle caps with the diamond glaze and let dry overnight. I took a picture of it because its hard to find!! One tip: do not shake your bottle of diamond glaze! It will get air bubbles!! Sometimes you will get a few anyway..just pull them out with a tooth pick.

Now you have these cute, personalized and wonderful magnets!! SO easy to make!!

Magnet Board Fun

I go this really old frame from my fav..Goodwill!! It had a super heavy mirror in it..I broke that out then primed and spray painted the frame... Then I bought a metal sheet from Homedepot, cut it primed and painted it white. Put it together and viola!!! I love it! I also made these cute bottle cap magnets.. more on those later!

Very Hungry & Cute Caterpillar!!..............

Okay well I bought this fabric 2 or 3 years ago?? yes..it was that long ago.. and it has sat in my cabinet for that long!! I loved it and bought it... SO what I bought was the 2 strips of foods the Caterpillar ate..(The fruits and the junk food), and the polka dot fabric that matches the inside of the book.. The rest of this quilt is all appliqued! The fat Caterpillar, the cocoon, the sun and moon, leaves all of it!! I used fabric I had that I thought would work well for the pictures I wanted... Then I bordered the whole thing with daisy fabric that I really liked as well (and bought years ago waiting for the right project!) This quilt is for Miss Madi....and she is in-patiently waiting for me to finish it!!

little sister...

well my sister is having her second kiddo...and its a girl!! she has a boy so how fun to have a girl!!! she wanted a bright pink with black and white and since she had to ask me................. I made two...
because of my guilt that she even had to ask...
sheesh I should have just made one.... so rude of me..so hoping she will forgive me by buttering her up with not 1, but 2 fun baby quilts!!! Both backed with super soft white.....

Scrabble anyone???

well I made this for fun...I first started by finding the wood grain fabric which I ended up getting from ebay.. not cheap.. but it was perfect so..... Then I went through a few different alphabet sets to find the right size and font for the letters! Finally finding the right ones I got to stamping..I made my board on the computer..a replica of a real scrabble board, then added our words..The kids helped me decide what to put on the quilt...what words represented our family:) I made all of the tiles..then they sat on my desk for months.......Until I picked them up and started putting them together...Now its all hung up at the end of our stairs.. but I think its too long...I am thinking of chopping the top off and just having the "board" be the quilt... Hain says to leave it and since he is the only one who can reach it, it may be there for a while:)
