Glass inspiration

My dear from Kourtney loves milk glass. And thanks to her so do I. I think I am going to buy either candle sticks or really sheek silk flowers for these vases. Or paint them? I found them all at DI for a steal.
Also these. I love. I saw the little stubby one at this consignment store I love. I came back nearly a month later and it was still there, just calling my name! I think the tall one will hold bubble bath, and the little one bath salts.

I thought one of those really old perfume bottles would look cute too! I heart vintage.

Solar System

This isn't really a "solar system" it's what my husband refers to it as. I laugh about it. I got this idea from Busy Bee Lauren, she doesn't have a craft blog, but she just has really good taste.
I got the chinese laterns from target on clearance, but thought they were bigger than that! Again we are going to be moving soon, so I will redo this at our next place. I know that IKEA has bigger chinese laterns for a very reasonable price.

And the pom pom's are Martha Stuart. Click here for directions.

Sheek Canvas Decor

I saw this idea in a craft magazine about 4 years ago, tore our the page and kept it for a rainy day. I knew it wouldn't be hard to do, just never decided on what colors I wanted...never had canvas lying around...you get my point.

Supplies:
Canvas any size(as man as you want, I could only afford 4)
Spray paint, color is your choice
Scrapbook paper cut to the size of your canvas
Mod Podge, I would use Matte finish

1. Spray paint your canvas, don't worry as much about covering the middle, just make sure the edges don't have white showing through.

2. Cut your paper size according to your canvas. I would do it just a titch smaller than the canvas (Example 8x10 canvas measure 9 3/4 x 7 3/4, which I didn't do...so I learned!)

3. Paint a thin layer of mod podge to your canvas, then using a card (gift, id, debit) smooth out all bubbles. I suck at this, just saing, my poka dot one needs re-done.

4. Is it dry? Add a layer on the top including the edges where the spray paint was...try not to spill it on your counter tops GRRRR.

5. I added probably 2-3 layers, not sure why, but that's what I did, and then you are done! I am just waiting til we move somewhere else to hang them.

WAAA LAAA!

Mom's Birthday Painting

This was for my Mom's birthday August 16 of last year. Yeah. I got stumped on the mouth and just put it off for a few months...whoopsie! I am proud though because I mailed it off yesterday. Wheh. Checked it off the list.

Let me explain

I have had zero motivation. After my last few projects I've lost all my creative ideas. SIGH. What a bummer. My sewing machine was on loan and had to be returned. I've done a few little projects but nothing really blog worthy. I've also put crafts on hold because I was putting all my time and energy into these instead of my my house, husband, son and myself. Not like it was huge drama I just got burnt out. I also paused because I was spending all spare money on crafty things. Even though most of my projects were cheap...they still cost money. We are trying to get outta debt and save up for a house. I'll try to be better from now on.

Forgive me?

I've been SA-lacking lately! I've been working on beanies, and that's nothing new or exciting. I am excited to say that my order of 14 is done, so that's a step, but now I have a craft show on the 5th and 6th of december so back to slaving my poor fingers away. My right thumb starts cramping....err.. Also my camera is broken so I wouldn't have any finished product to show you anyway. I'm trying to get better and am posting a few new projects on the right hand side of the blog..check them out and feel free to wait in anticipation.

And the winner is...
