The sewing section in the craft room.

Here is a decoupaged case I did for myself for some craft supplies.

Here's a suitcase I decoupaged for my husband.  He love it!

The camera drawer, vintage style.

A friend of ours owns a saddle repair shop... he had all of these old saddle straps and hated to just throw them away.  I found a repurposed way to use them and give them out as gifts.  I used leather strips to thread the bells and tie them off.  They can be hung on the door and rung by visitors by shaking them. :)

I like to take boxes and personalize them for Christmas.. you will love the package almost as much as you love the gift.  

Floating TeaCups

 

It's been a while since I posted, I have been busy creating different things.  Here are the floating teacups my grandkids are making for Christmas gifts for their moms.  Something you can put on a night stand or table center piece for year round.  I would like to make myself one using a Christmas teacup set.  I will post my floating teacup as soon as I find a teacup set for Christmas.  These are all over Pinterest... I used a fork and for the glue I used a 4 minute drying Epoxy glue and it worked out fine.

One Stroke Painting

I can't draw to save my life,  but I've learned I don't have to... I can paint. I picked up a book with basic strokes and gave it a whirl.

Decorated some lamps this Christmas using garland and paints.  This is so much fun.

The upstairs is the entrance to the Barn Shop... my craft room.  Loving the Christmas lights.. makes it look magical. :)

Childhood memories..

How many of you remember this glue?  I used to love that it had a plastic applier, like a brush.  I remember they made the container in animal shapes too. 

From the same company... really cool , I used this glue too. 

My children...

I never craft for myself but today, Mother's day, I did. Pictures are of my children. The vase, tray, and baby shoes were my junket find today.

Collage

I took an old Victorian calendar and cut all the wonderful pictures out of it. My niece had an old suit case she was looking to revamp. I used glue to adhere the pictures collage style.

Childhood memories.

Love these two tales.

Cinderella is my  all time favorite tale.

Drawer Shelves

I love old drawer shelves.. they allow you to group items together.

Vintage Crib Spring

I have since changed this area of the vintage wall.

Two Birthday cards I did for the shop.  

We take our rings and watches off either to wash our hands or

to do dishes. So why not hang them on these cute frames. They

are good for the night stand too if you take your rings off at night.

Using quilting hoops I made these for receipe holders.

Just hang them in the kitchen and put your favorite receipies in them.

I took some old window shutters and turned them into coat racks.



 I added the water valves and knobs to them.
