Guess what?!? Easter is this Sunday! As in . . . like, 4 days from now. Guess what else? I have nothing ready. Not a ding-dong thing. I take that back – I now have a cutie-patootie bunny & chick tray that took less than 15 minutes to paint. Yep – less than 15 minutes […]
Super Spray Paint! Part 1 – Krylon
Chances are, you have a can or two of spray paint hanging around, right? If there’s a quicker and cheaper way to paint something, I don’t know what it is. And once the temperature gets above 55 degrees (I’m in No. Calif.) it’s definitely time for Super Spray Paint! You might think there is nothing […]
Paint Flowers in 15 Minutes or Less– even if you can’t paint
Paint flowers in under 15 minutes? Even if you ‘can’t’ paint? Yep! I’ve got a foolproof, no-fail, technique . . . Dipdot Flowers! Okay, so it’s not my own idea. When I spied the Landee’s dipdot easter eggs yesterday it got my mind whirring. Plus, my friends at Expect Moore and The Country Chic Cottage […]
Faux (paw) Finish Alabaster Eggs
I should probably call these faux ‘foil-wrapped chocolate eggs’ but that isn’t what this faux finish is. It truly is a finish that would mimic alabaster, IF I had used eggs with a smooth finish. Which I didn’t. Let me explain. I got all excited when I heard Young House Love was hosting a Winter […]
Cupcake Canvas – guest post from Mod Podge Rocks!
I am so excited to have a special friend here today, Amy from Mod Podge Rocks. Amy is not only an exceptional blogger and crafter, she’s also incredibly generous. I can honestly say, if I didn’t know her, I might’ve given up this whole blogging thing a long time ago. But like I said, she’s […]
Christian Louboutin Shoes Painting
Yesterday I talked a little bit (okay, a lot) about stenciling damask for the bottom border of this canvas and left you wondering what I was painting in the middle. Did you guess the ohsostylish Christian Louboutin red-soled pumps? Probably not. Or if you did, I can paint a sign for your front door that […]
Stenciling Damask
Stenciling Damask. Two words I never thought I’d hear myself saying, and never ever thought I’d actually do. (Please notice the title is not how to stencil damask, alright?) Stencil? Ok, maybe. I’m slowly becoming a convert after years and years of failed attempts. But Damask? unh-uh. Not that I don’t love the damask pattern. […]
Kids Craft–Mixed Media Photo Frame
Mixed Media? For kids? Does it sound a little . . . too artsy? Trust me, it’s not. When it comes to little boys, I don’t do ‘artsy’. After raising 3 stepsons full time and now relishing ‘craft time’ with my 4 year old grandson, I want Simple. Fast. Fun. Enter Plaid Crafts who sent […]
