Window and wreath

Like I said before, I have been trying to get rid of the black that was in my kitchen. I had a big black clock on the wall, and I wanted to put a cute decorative window there instead. Luckily, I found exactly the window I wanted at an antique mall. It was hideous when I bought it, but it was just the size and shape I was looking for. My dad put some nails in it to stabilize the loose wood, and then spray painted it cream. I was planning on putting scrapbook paper in some of the windows, but then I saw this tutorial, and I knew what I wanted to do! So here it is, my cute cream window with my cute turquoise wreath:)

Birds

I have a lot of black in my kitchen and living room that I am slowly trying to get rid of. I want things to be bright and cheery! After seeing this tutorial on Sweet Verbena (this is my second project in a row using her tutorials:), i knew what I wanted to do with this sign that was hanging above my couch. Here are the before and after pictures......I really love it. After dental hygiene school I will have time to think up more of my own ideas, but for now I'm grateful for all the amazing tutorials out there. All the talent from these ladies inspires me!! (oh, and I'm obsessed with birds.....)

Easy T-shirt

I was looking at craft blogs the other day and I came across this post with the easiest t-shirt refashion! So I went out and bought a six dollar shirt at target and sewed on some lace I found at Hobby Lobby. So easy! (I am standing weird so it looks a little off:)
