Bunny Bums!

I am sure you have seen me post these before,

but they are back due to popularity and as always

so easy to make.

Start off by buying a bag of the Dove coconut eggs

Using two sizes of oval punches, one large

and one small punch out one large one for the 

bunny body and two small ovals for ears.

Then get some small white pom poms, 

I used some glue dots to attach the pom poms.

These are the cutest and easiest little treats 

you could make.

And of course,  I know you will find some sweet friends

to gift them to!

Cute little bunny bums!

Just in time for Easter!

St. Paddy's day treats

It's always fun to have some little treats on hand

to give co-workers, friends, women's groups, kiddos.

I made these little chocolate nugget candy treats for

upcoming St. Paddy's day.

They are cut at 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" 

To create the shamrocks I used a very small heart punch

I stamped three times to make the clover. 

I topped them off with a gold sequin and silver rhinestone and 

some gold laced twine. 

Come on now!  You can make these!

Spring is coming!

Spring is just around the corner and it always means for me

spring cleaning and sprucing up the house.

I love to take time to move things around and change up 

the decor. Time to bring out the spring things!

I've been busy restocking my inventory for my Etsy shop

The wood beads I make come in a natural wood bead

as well as custom colors. 

You can choose any color or combo color you would like

me to make for you. 

When you visit my shop you will see the custom bead listing, 

that is where you get to create your strand!

You can also add a charm.   As you see in the picture above

there are two sizes, I actually have another size as well listed

that is a bit larger that can be hung from your door knobs or dresser knobs. 

These are just a few custom colors I have made...

The color wheel is the limit!

I love these succulents, they scream spring to me and

what a better way to show them off by adding a strand

of wood beads.

While your checking out the wood beads in my shop

take a look at the new towels that I have created for you,

I promise you will get a good laugh!

Thank you for always stopping by for visit!

Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day

The February 2020 paper pumpkin is out and of course

you know me,  I have to change it up a bit.

The new in color Rococo Rose is included in the kit

and it's a stunner.

The kit includes 9 cards and printed envelopes, die-cut labels

and those cute foam word stickers.

I used a rose stamp from a few paper pumpkin kits ago

to stamp the rose in the center of the printed 

piece of cardstock.

Take a peek at the Lovely Day video 

to see how to put your kit together and

also see all the other items in the kit. 

Snow day

What do you do when you have a monday off?

Head to the mountains!

Conditions couldn't have been any better, we started

off the morning with grays skies and cool weather 

but by the time we finished our trek the skies opened up

to a crystal clear blue canvas.

We even took our coats off for the rest of the trek!

This is just east of the mountains from Seattle

It's called Snoqualimie pass if you are not local

just a 45 minute hop from the Seattle area.

We are so fortunate that we are so close to be

able to get to the mountains so quickly.

Beauty beyond words yesterday....

Now back to reality today... work calls!

Diy Couch Makeover

This is my current couch that I bought last year, and though

I really liked it, it has just felt way to elegant for me so I decided to look into how to add some nail heads to the couch to give it a rustic modern feel to cozy.

Here is a picture of it completed.

I truly love how it turned out and love the more casual feel

it gives the couch.  Although a few friends that have seen

it said it makes it look fancy!

Not the look I was going for!

Anyway,  I do like it. 

I ordered the nail heads from Amazon and chose

the Antique ones.  I already had a tack hammer so

that I didn't need to order.

I started off by using the measuring tape that comes in the 

package of nail tacks.

I used scotch tape to tape it to both ends of the first piece of the

sectional making every inch with a pencil.

I cannot tell you how easy it was to do this.

I used the tack hammer and just gently hammered

each tack every one inch.  

Once I finished the one section I set up the next section

right next to the first one to easily line up the next row of

tack nails. 

I saw online that you can also put the nails much closer together

but I prefer the one inch gap between them as you can see here above.  

All in all it took me about 45 minutes to complete this diy makeover.  

Below here you can see how it turned out.  What a great idea to add to any chair or couch or any other piece of furniture you might want to add a little touch to.

they come in all different finishes

Diy Wall arcylic frames

Today I am sharing with you these diy acrylic frames that you too can make!

I went to our local McClendon's hardware where they sell acrylic sheets that they also will cut to size for you.

So once you decide where you want to put your frames you will then decide on what size you would like.

I chose to have mine cut at 11 x 14" so that I could display 

the photo size I chose which is 8 x 10"

Your next step will be to gently using your largest drill bit

a hole that is similar to the size of the wall mount peg you choose.

I choose to different types off of Amazon.  The ones here in brushed nickel color are skinnier than the ones below I am working on now that are matte black and much thicker.

Make sure you get two pieces of acrylic per picture as your photos are sandwiched between them. 

You can't see it very well in this photo but it is two pieces sandwiched together then held with the pegs.

I tried to get a little closer for you, but still hard to see.

I thought about using just one piece per frame and tried to use the smallest glue dots to hold my picture in place on the front but you can really see the dot especially if the sun is shining on the frame.

Doesn't look so good.....

I am also working on the one below in the black matte pegs

which I love.  Just note, you can see I had to drill farther away from the corner of the black peg ones due to them being much wider in size then the brushed nickel ones.  I ended up measuring in 1" on each side for the black frame where the above one was

just a 1/2" measurement.

I hope you get a chance to try and make one of these. 

I was thinking about doing them over Christmas to give as gifts

but ran out of time with the season being short. 

Maybe this year????

But first, Coffee

Coffee over everything right?

Actually,  I have never drank coffee OR tea!

Hahaaaaa!  My vice has always been chocolate!

But these coffee cards are pretty darn cute.

I honesty don't know where I got this stamp set,

and think maybe someone might have given it to me.

UPDATE:

With some research I found the stamp set!

Click HERE to view 

I had some cute gold hearts both small and large left over 

from old paper pumpkins.   

So always look through what you have and use it!

These would be cute all packaged up and ready

to give someone with a coffee gift card
