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 […]

Painted Oven Mitt & Pot Holders
You might think this is an idea for a Last Minute Gift, but it’s not. I’m sure that you’re completely done with presents, right? So this is just an easy Snowman Paint Project for next year. Unless you’re like me and keep snowmen up thru January. And maybe February. What makes these snowmen so easy […]

Stenciled Boys’ Painting – and a GiveAway!!!
I am now officially a stencil convert, thanks to Cutting Edge Stencils. The harlequin diamond background on this canvas wallhanging took me all of 10 minutes to paint because I used this stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. Ten minutes! I used to spend a day, or two, painting harlequin diamonds. And that was just the […]
