The Coasters from Pinterest...

Hello Everyone!

               This is my first run at this blogging thing. I decided that I need to keep track of the projects that I do both originally, as well as things I find on Pinterest. I am learning my way around different sites to try and make sure I nab the Original Poster's (OP) link. Should I ever err' in this cause, please just let me know and I will be sure to make the proper adjustments.

             Without further ado...

             I found this posting on Pinterest just in the nick-of-time, as I had just put glass top tables in our living room and things were getting a bit redundant with wiping them down each time a cup was placed on them. :-\

            The one thing that I did a little differently was I hand painted a few of my tiles to mimic
some of the patterns on the scrapbook paper. I just used the .50 acrylic paint from Wal*Mart(™) and sealed it with the same stuff I used to seal the other coasters. Anyway, here are the results...

Thank you so much for reading!

These are still alive and well and actively used in my home! Granted some of the hand painted ones have had some run-ins with chipping agents but nothing too crazy. I think I might seal them a little better next time (maybe it would help with the paint peeling?), but I'm just always so impatient...

This just in...

I see now that I am starting to get web traffic from what I assume is my Instagram page. That being said I have a renewed interest in updating this blog; I won't lie it is difficult to muster up the desire to pour energy into something that only you look at. I will also have a little free-time after Friday now that I am in the position of having to find a job (don't you just love corporate America?). I make A LOT of "stuff" you can view some of that stuff on my Instagram page which can be viewed here . I will do my best to update this page more often and post my results from my crafty endeavors that I pursue from the likes of Pinterest, Ravelry, and the Internets as a whole. Like this Gir from Invader Zim that I made from a pattern I found on Ravelry from Nichole's Nerdy Knots . This girl comes up with some really fun stuff and I can't wait to check out more of her awesome free patterns. That's it for today have an AWESOME one!

Fascinated by Fascinators....

So a while ago (April 2015) my cousin Pam came to me and asked me to make her "hair piece" for her wedding. I readily responded with a big-fat-"YES"! But then soon had regrets because I am really not a "hair things" person. I NEVER wear them and I certainly haven't ever had a reason to make one before, but I'm a crafter who likes a challenge. So I talked myself through the following 6 mos. of anxiety attacks. I studied, and pinned, and studied, and pinned. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't thinking of ways to "get out of it", I even thought of just buying one online and admitting that I was clueless. But I pressed on... For about 5 months I bought every chiffon pink, ivory, and navy (her wedding colors) craft item that I happened upon at the craft store, all kinds of stuff . Feathers, old costume jewelry, vintage lace, rhinestones, etc... all the while not knowing exactly what I was going to make, not knowing what of the c...
