My New Scarf

Ok - I have tried to make several scarfs and and soon as I can get some good pictures of them, I will post them, but this one, I just had to post. It is too cute! At least I think it is. I wore it today and had many compliments.   Oh and I don't photograph well, so sorry!













 







Board to Display My Christmas Cards

Ok - I always have a problem displaying my Christmas cards and there are so many cute ideas on Pinterest. So, I took a couple of them with the supplies I have on hand and created my own version.  No, it is not as cute as I would like, but overall, I am pleased.  I used a square sheet of drywall I bought from Home Depot to test paint techniques on, some shiny silver wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbon and a hot glue gun.

If you do something like this, I would suggest using a lighter weight board!  This one is too heavy to hang.

The snowflakes look colored, but it is the light reflecting off of them.

I trimmed it with some shiny silver ribbon and made a bow for the corner.

It is on my window sill, not sure where to hang it.  This is heavy!

I just taped the cards and photo cards on there.

Lamp Decisions for my Quiet Room

OK - I told you in a previous post that I spray painted my lamp white and the shade a silver.  I was not sure if I liked the shape of the shade, so I bought another shade and it is a drum shape, I am thinking I like it best.  Now, I know the plastic is still on the shade, but I am not sure it is staying yet, so if it does, I will take it off and then I will cover it with a coordinating fabric.  I am not even sure what that will be yet. I could use ideas.

This is the painted base and the painted lamp shade that was once burgundy! It looks ok...

Here is the new drum lamp shade, I like it!  But, it needs some color and a pattern.  I need some fabric!

Paper Roses....yes, they are easy!

Ok - I did it, I made some paper roses. Yes, they are easy, a little time consuming, but easy. Next. I want to do a paper roses wreath!  But, that will come later when I have more time.  Here are the before and after photos on them.

This is just card stock and I took a can and traced my cirles.

Here, I have some flowers made...

They turned out pretty good I think.  Maybe they will look better the more I do, but for now, I am pleased!
