I've been in a crafting mood lately and am never short on projects. I picked up these tea towels and fabric when I was in Idaho, and finally finished dazzling them up. Here are a few of my favorites.
Love me some stripes!
This was my first one, I still actually like how it turned out, although there are things I would change . . .
Okay, to explain this picture. This velvety beauty was found at Goodwill with a lovely peach matte and a regular wood frame. So I did what I do best and changed it to suit my needs . . .
And thankfully after some mod-podge, spray paint, and a different picture, it turned into something I actually like! I LOVE spray paint! I changed a terrible green/gold frame, a yellow frame, and a couple wood frames to finish off the 8x10 frame needs I had! I think the grand total was $15 for 4 frames plus paint!
This was another Goodwill frame find. I spray painted it white, then the top half is metal (another Idaho find) and I made the magnet from a brad. The bottom part is cork board that I painted and added stickers. I doubt I'll ever use the cork board part, but I like how it turned out!
This last one is just a book I made for a friend. The cover is awesome with this velvet textured paper. Simple yet not. I love it!This is only a small selection of what I've been up to lately! I'm currently looking at fabrics for a dress for me, a dress for Sevy, a skirt for me, and Teik's Halloween costume!
(anyone know where I can find a fake beard?!)
Also I made a terrible mistake of picking up the latest DIY Magazine (totally a fav of mine!) and have a wood craft I'm excited to try! Now to find a jigsaw . . .

You've been busy! I love your towels...really cute! The fabric on them is adorable. I wish you lived closer and could teach me to sew. That is my new goal. Maybe i'll ask for a sewing machine for Christmas and teach myself! Good work. :)
Your craftiness leaves me in awe.I have a stack of odd old frames that I've been meaning to spray paint for months. Where do you get your mojo?Mine's completely disappeared.
Your craftiness leaves me in awe.Seriously where do you get your mojo cause I don't have any.I have a stack of odd old frames in my laundry room that have been sitting there for months waiting to be spray painted.You wanna come do it for me?
Everyone loves the quilt you made for Avi. I call it my church quilt and always bring it on sunday so the relief society can admire it. Looks like you are up to crafting again. I am so impressed that you can handle two kids, a job, a student for a husband, and still find time to be creative.
Did you hand stitch the leaves? How did you do that? I am kind of super impressed with my awesome sister.
Good golly lady, I love DIY projects!!! We need to do something together! Everything looks amazing!
Thanks for the praise guys! Brandi-I would love to come spray paint for you! I actually love it and it takes no time whatsoever. Chantal-it's called naptime! That's when I get everything I want to do done, and ignore everything I need to do. Candi-It's my sewing machine! It has lots of fun stitches on it that makes my life a lot easier!
Go you! I think about doing lovely projects like you but just don't have the drive and talent like you, I suppose that is why I stick close to such talented people!
Sooo CUTE! I love all of your projects!
So CUTE! I love all of your projects!
Oh hahah...I was wondering why my post was posting...I just read below. Ryan tells me all the time I need to read signs, but I'm just up in the clouds most of the time. You can delete this by the way :) Have a great DAY!
