Last Minute Gifts #1– ‘Embossed’ Velvet Wine Bag

December 21, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Don’t miss my Stencil Giveaway! Contest open until December 26! Mmkay. Did you see the title up there? Not the ‘last minute’ part. The “Embossed” part. Yeah. The quote marks are there for a reason. Reason being, I actually embossed the wine bag but it doesn’t look embossed. There’s that and the fact that I […]

No-Sew Stenciled Runner with Glitter Paint

December 9, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

stenciled runner with glitter paint

I decided to switch things up this Christmas with a little turquoise, silver and white in the dining room. When it comes to decorating my own home for the holidays, I’ve always been pretty traditional – red and gold and maybe for a little excitement, throw in some silver. That’s for my own home. When […]

Holiday Burlap Napkin Rings

November 8, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Holiday Napkin Rings

Hey, guess what! I found some more burlap in my stash. I know! Burlap is becoming a bit of a holiday theme around here. First, the Spooky Runner, then there was the Fall Leaf Mantel Scarf and I said, that’s it! But I got to thinking one day about burlap, Mod Podge and t.p. rolls. […]

Painted Fall Napkins

Hey there! How are you today? Have you ever painted on fabric before? It’s one of my favorite things to paint on and after these napkins, I’m wondering why I don’t do it more often. We interrupt this blog post for a special announcement . . . . Voting for the NFL Pro Bowl starts […]

31 Days of Easy Paint Projects: Day 8 – Spooky Burlap Runner

October 8, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 3 Comments

Painted Halloween Burlap Runner

I might be a little late jumping on the ‘burlap train’ but you gotta admit, I’m jumping with both feet! First there was the stenciled burlap runner. Then came the burlap fall leaf mantel scarf. I really thought I was done with burlap for a while. Until I saw this on Pinterest . . . […]

Fall Leaf Burlap Mantel Scarf

September 26, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

fall-mantel-scarf

I don’t know what it is about Fall, but it tends to bring out the ‘crafter’ in me. And that’s a little scary because while I’m comfortable painting and creating art, I’m totally uncomfortable crafting and attempting to create cuteness. But every year ‘round this time, I give it another try. This year was no […]

Painted Lamp and Lampshade Doodles

August 24, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

painted-lampshade

How are ya? I originally wrote this post for The CSI Project but one of my all-time fav parties is Miss Mustard Seed’s Furniture Feature Friday and since I rarely paint furniture, I’m snagging this lamp and linking it up. A lamp is furniture, isn’t it? Let’s just say this little bugger took as long […]
