New Projects

I'm searching for my new project. 
I'm also very excited to try something new!

I have been pinnning all day, 
searching for the perfect new project.
I can't decide between jewelry, 
clothing, inside decorations, outside decorations. 
The list is endless....
But here are some of my favorites!

These butterflies are beautiful!
And I think I could give it as a gift.

This sign is adorable, 
I would find a spot for it!
Also these arrow are shooting straight 
into my heart, I think I could make them.

It is just so hard to decide, 
I also have like 25 other things I want to make. 

And my friend requested I make her this
It is now added to the list. 

Also I had a wonderful day at the thrift store.
I went in looking for stencils and letter stickers, 
(for the we are awesome sign) 
and found exactly what I was looking for!
I also scored on some other stuff, 
mostly old target stuff. 
(Target's in my area are donating old 
merchandise to thrift stores like Goodwill)

Anyway I had a great craft day. 

Best Wishes

Canvas Inspiration

I think this is just turning into a blog 
about crafts. 
Who cares! Crafts are awesome!
My latest canvas piece. 
I found this really cool canvas art on 
Pinterest, where it was painted these awesome 
colors, then they put tape over it and spray painted
it gold. So the colors under came through when the 
tape came off. 
Anyway I am not patient enough to wait for it to dry so 
I just put tape down in different patterns
and painted over it. 

Start with a blank canvas (duh)

I was doing this on my bathroom floor because
I was also coloring my hair :) 


Added some tape and some paint. 
I used different size washi tape to mix it up a bit. 

Finished painting it, let it dry and 
then took the tape off. 
I don't really love the tape design I chose. 
I should have created straight lines and 
tried not to blend it on some parts.
 I also should have really squared the center purple. 
Now I am trying to choose a quote to go in the middle. 

A. "Life is better when you are laughing"
B. Quiet people have the loudest minds"
C. "When it rains, look for rainbows. 
When it's dark, look for stars"
D. "Today is the perfect day to be happy"

What do you think?
