Spring is Here!

I'm ready for some nice weather (still not getting it, but I'm ready!) Here's a few things I did to bring spring into the house.

I did decide to take down the burlap wreath for a while, and added a watering can.

I, once again repurposed my welcome sign.

Many of the things I have on display are things I made many years ago, such as these cloth eggs and this bunny, which used to go on a welcome sign.

Bunnies on the mantle were painted in the old days of "tole painting."

Another chalkboard embroidery pattern from Embroidery Library.  I just love doing these!

More tole painting on these eggs.  The cloth one is a Styrofoam egg that you use a sharp tool to punch in the edges of the pieces of fabric.  I remember it being fun, but time-consuming. I'd love to make some more of these in brighter colors.  This one was a kit. Anyone know of any patterns?

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall Welcome Sign

Yesterday I worked on a new project for my front porch.  A Welcome sign.  Here's the finished product.

The board is an old shelf that my husband dragged home from the farm.  All it took was a quick hosing off and some light sanding.  

I purchased the letters (already painted!) at Michaels Craft Store. The only purchase made for this project!

I already had the bow and silk flowers and leaves.  A little hot glue, and this project was complete!

I think it looks good with the wreath.  I plan to change out the decorations on both of these for the different seasons, so come back and see!
