Painted Snowman Oven Mitt

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!!!

December 18, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

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 […]

File this post under “The Lazy Gal’s Guide to Decorating”. It’s another book I’m working on. I mean, besides “101 Ways to Paint Leaves & Vines”. I’m assuming if the title “No-Sew” peaked your interest that you’re not a seamstress. If you are, or even if you sew a little bit, I highly recommend you […]

A Distressed Chalkboard that was distressing

April 25, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Distressed-Chalkboard

The other day the clerk at Walmart made a remark about my purchases of Mod Podge, iron-on transfers, spray paint, etc., etc., etc. “You must be really crafty!” Me: No. Actually I’m an artist. I don’t do so well with crafts. Her: Really? There’s a difference? Me: Definitely – crafty people are really creative and […]
