Renewing a framed mirror~

I'm linking to
 Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.


I saw a photo of this mirror online (love the walls, and may try a little faux painting of my own!)....

...and thought the mirror that had been in the powder bath (until we updated and replaced it with a frameless mirror) was similar, and perhaps I could paint it into something I would once again want to use.

Well.....here's a photo (with flash) of my completed mirror!

And without flash. (The colors are more accurate in the photo above taken with the flash.)

Christmas Throw Pillow~

I was admiring these beautiful throw pillow covers at Dear Lillie.




Since I can't paint worth a flip, 
I thought I'd try making my own version using my embroidering machine.
(I have a Janome Memory Craft 350E.)



Same pillow, other side.....

My first attempt at making a mesh wreath~

Since my daughter Heather is hosting Thanksgiving this year, I thought I'd make her a wreath as a 'Thank You' gift! I found the metal Santa at Hobby Lobby, and LOVE him!!  I would have bought a couple had they had more!!

O.M.G.!! Smurfs in the attic!!

I'm on a quest to clear out the attic in the garage!  Too much Halloween decorations that I've long since outgrown;  Christmas stuff out the wazoo!!  

Going through the boxes one by one, I came across one with stuffed animals.  Lo and behold, smurfs and smurfettes!!   I texted one of my daughters to ask if she was missing her slippers! lol!!   I can't believe I held on to them long enough for them to make a comeback!!  Ohhhh, yes I can!  :)

Tooth Fairy Pockets~

Tooth fairy pockets I've made from old jeans!  I began making them for my grandsons, then received orders from friends.
