Mr. imperfect

He's just a little guy but with a lot of character. His ear's maybe lop sided and he may not be level headed, his eyes are certainly not the same size and one arm may happen to be longer than the other but all these imperfections make him perfect!

He is made from repurposed material, specifically a mans old shirt.  Hooray, I still have lots of that material left over. Besides being full of love he is also filled with luxury ecofil fibre.

Cards

Hooray more painting going on over here. I made these cards last year as thank-you cards for my bridal shower. Drawing, painting and hand writing 20 cards took a bit of time but it was the least I could do to show my appreciation for all the wonderful gifts.

I found two un-painted ones last night amongst my art supply and finished them off with some paint while watching a movie.

They would be great as birthday cards as well.

Home made cards are a favorite.

Craft Time

I haven't painted in a while and was feeling motivated last night and came up with some fun magnets. I am not a fan of a ton of stuff on the fridge but I do like to keep a couple of things on it and why not have those things hanging in style?


They were really easy to make and I was more than pleased with the end result.

Materials needed
-water colour paints
-thin tipped sharpie pen (I couldn't find mine, argh, but I used a fine tip silver pen and it worked just as well)
-card stock
-magnets that come with a sticky back, I found some at Staples a year or so ago, that are meant to adhere to a business card but they worked wonderfully for my magnet art idea.

Voila fancy, non tacky fridge magnet.

Fresh

Our bedroom is a disaster of laundry that seems to keep piling up and frankly is just feeling very dull right now. I typically shy away from warm colours like the yellows and reds and oranges but I found this amazing vintage table cloth on Sunday and couldn't resist turning it into pillows and art for the bedroom, just to infuse a little more energy and zest.

Table cloth

Pillows I found for the bed

Before the covers

They are a 70's chenille green colour.

After with the new covers made from the table cloth

I also made new pillow case covers from the fabric I found a few weeks ago they were a perfect match to go with the new smaller accent pillows and I used the table cloth fabric as a canvass piece as well.

Bedroom Before, very uninspiring

A litte more flare, now to tackle the laundry situation. Need to find dresser pronto!
