New Signs

I did some signs for my brother's dental office a few weeks ago using outdoor vinyl.

Where have I been?!?! Time flies. I've been doing lots of vinyl, just haven't posted in a little while. A friend asked me to make the below for a friend of hers having a baby. Since it was a gift for a baby shower, she gave it only half way done, as the picture below. We found a silhouette to use and painted it pink to match the nursery. Luckily, the mother already had a name picked out, so we added that too.

Then, once she had the baby, she brought it back for me to finish. We added the date, time, weight and length. It was ready to be hung in the new nursery. It came out so darling.

Valentine's Day

I don't have very many Valentine's decorations, so this year I made a couple. Here are some of my favorites that are really easy to make.

For all of the vinyl Valentine projects I offer, see here.

I put up my vinyl LOVE tile, which I love so much. I usually have it up for more than just Valentine's day.

I also put up this vinyl project from last year, I love the tile & wood together.

This year, as burlap is the "in" thing, my lovely craft assistant, made this burlap banner. The lighting is horrible - so it's hard to see that it says " I LOVE YOU" with hearts in between the words. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't use the white paint because it's too hard to see.

I made this heart wreath with leftover red fabric. I saw this one the day after I made mine. I might make the felt one too as I like it more.

Lastly, I made a heart pillow out of felt & buttons. It took me a whole 2 hour movie to sew on all of those buttons, but I sure felt productive. I have an old red sweater that I am going to repurpose into a pillow to put right next to it.

Hopefully this has given you some Valentine's Day decoration ideas. Have fun!

Big Hits

These are turning out to be a HUGE hit - which I am really happy about. I love my menu board. Simply write on with a dry erase marker, and wipe off when done. Sometimes my dry erase marker leaves a little color residue on the metal, but I just spray it with Windex and wipe off with paper towel. Enjoy!

$30 for the completed project of $24 for the kit.

Dinner Choices

It's almost Boutique time again, and I've been busy getting items ready to sell. I think I might have to make one of these for my kitchen!

Menu Board

One of my favorite things I have made, is this Menu Board. Maybe because it helps me stay organized and rarely have one of those nights where I stare into the fridge and wonder what on earth we are going to have for dinner. It's sheet metal on top of a wood board. It's magnetic, but dry erase markers work on it too! I just keep one of the markers that already has a magnet on the lid attached to the board. I LOVE having it up in my kitchen!
