As I begin to pack up Christmas 2019, I realize that so many of my decorations from ornaments to dishes to placemats and signs, have words on them. Wishes of the season for peace, aspirations of attitude to believe and to be merry and even sentiments of weather such as “let it snow” are on mugs to mangers. I am sad to see the words “Peace”, “Believe” and “Joy” (and others) get put away, only to be waiting to be brought out again in 11 months. Why is it that for a few short weeks of the year, those words can be our mantra, our hope, our heart? But when December 26<sup>th</sup>comes around, those very same words seem to be all used up, ready to be remanded to the storage bin in the attic to wait until the words hold meaning and can usher in the holiday season once again.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
There is a famous quote that wants us to keep Christmas in our hearts all year long-but just exactly how do we do that? Christmas trees all year long will make us grow weary of pine needles, tinsel and it will take up space in our home. The beauty will fade as the tree becomes commonplace. Do we continue to sing of silver bells and white Christmases into the bloom of Spring? The songs will be out of step with the season and the melodies will become tiring to our ears. So, in what way can we keep Christmas in our hearts, if we cannot keep it in our homes? <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
There is another famous quote that says a picture paints a thousand words. To me, a word can paint a thousand pictures. When words such as “Peace and Joy” are on display, the reader can think of a time of peace or the need for a peace or better yet, how to bring peace to their daily life. When joy comes into view, joy can be a moment or a memory. Joy in one’s view can become joy in one’s heart. This perhaps is the best way to keep Christmas all year long- in our hearts and in our view. Those words can be our mantra, our hope, our heart – all year long, all life-long.<o:p></o:p></div>

My home is filled with words. From one-word signs, to scriptures to even a real street sign stating “cell phones prohibited.” (It hangs in the kitchen/breakfast room—there has to be some humor, right?). I actually have a word wall in one of our guest bedrooms. I have found that when good, right and hope-filled words grace my every day, there will be more grace in my day, a steady flow of hope, and peace and joy and love. So perhaps as you’re packing up your Christmas decorations, leave peace and joy out a little longer, perhaps a lot longer and see that Christmas can be in our everyday! <o:p></o:p></div>

Remodeling and Renovation can be overwhelming! While cleaning out and packing up seem to be a huge undertaking, it also is a time where inspiration begins to appear. I don’t know if it is because everything is all out in the open or the new materials are delivered, but it happens every time we start a new project. And this time inspiration came from an unlikely place - our garage! <o:p></o:p></div>

Over the holidays, my husband and I thought of our next renovation even though we had just finished our kitchen just 2 months earlier in October. My husband thought of new floors, I thought of wall to wall wood shelves with curtain rods added so vintage quilts could hang to add character (well, really to hide garage stuff) to the space. My metalsmithing workshop will be on the far side and hopefully the cars will be on the big side, (no guarantees). <o:p></o:p></div>

Well, we packed up the contents and the floor company arrived. As I watched them grind away the dirt, cracks and grease, a new floor was on the horizon and new inspiration was emerging. I had done a little research on the coatings used on concrete floors and what I found out was that they use resin and dried paint chips...Well, I use resin (on a much smaller scale) and then just like that …Inspiration appeared…could I find these beautiful paint chips? What would they do in Resin? What would it look like in a Bezel? On Paper??? The wheels were turning..<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

A quick trip to the Big Home Improvement store and with a few dollars spent, I had the beautiful flakes in hand. Working with Bezels, I decided to paint a first layer just as the floor guys had done. I learned that in this smaller scale project, that part wasn’t necessary. Once the paint had dried, I poured a little ICE Resin® to act as a glue, so my paint chips would not float in the resin. Then adding a large amount of chips to the bezel, gently pushing them down as I filled the bezel with the rest of the resin, inspiration became reality - the focal point of a new jewelry piece. With a sprinkling of German glass glitter in the resin, the bezel shines. Finishing with leather and wire wrapped glass beads, this necklace will be a reminder that inspiration can come from the most unlikely places and that what’s in the garage doesn’t have to stay in the garage. <o:p></o:p><br />

The little limerick <i>“What is black and white and red all over?”</i>– kept coming to mind as I created these bezels.<span> </span>A few months earlier I had been drawn to the simplicity and depth of black and white nature photos and thus, the gathering and collecting began-- nature books, photos and even stationary.<span> </span>As I began to work with the images, I knew they needed a little something but I did not want to take away from the beauty of the trees.<span> </span>As I thought of what would complement, and not compete with these bezels, words came to my mind- encouraging and simple, <span> </span>yet words with depth- Words that would stand out amongst nature’s beauty.<span> </span><span style="color: #c00000;">Red letter words</span>- often words written in red have a deeper meaning and draw the attention of the reader into the passage.<span> </span>These words seem to lift off the pages and find their place into our hearts.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Creating the appearance of lifting/floating words is a 2-step process.<span> </span>First, I created a word document with words such as love, life, joy, grace, peace and more. <span> </span>Then I printed these words onto tissue paper (see note in the technique instructions). The second step is using ICE Resin® in the bezels after placing the tissue paper word inside.<span> </span>With this resin®, the white background disappears – so all that remains are the <span style="color: #c00000;">red-letter words! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

In keeping with the color and simplicity, one red glass bead was added as a drop to each bezel.<span style="color: black;"> </span>This bead emphasized not only the color but also the word while maintaining the simplicity of the black and white images.<span style="color: black;"> </span>Finishing these pieces with antique gold and silver chains, kept the cohesiveness of the bezels, images and colors.<span style="color: black;"> </span>While the answer to the limerick might be the newspaper – for us the answer is clear.<span style="color: black;"> </span>What is black and white and red all over---a nature inspired, <span style="color: #c00000;">red letter word </span>be<span style="color: black;">zel that can be read (and worn) daily!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A little over 6 months ago, I began a new way to do my to-do
list. You see I had just recently hosted the Texas Gathering, a weekend full of
art and friendship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had planned and
prepared for this event for months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
anticipated a great weekend, I planned a great weekend and I prepared a great
weekend…My anticipation, preparation and expectations were greatly surpassed by
the love, laughter and friendship that we created that weekend, let alone some
amazing art!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, no amount of
planning, anticipating or “to-doing” would have predicted how much of a lull
came the morning after everyone was gone…I had forgotten what the end feels
like, when all the hard work, the gathering and the sharing are over…So when I
began my morning with quiet time, I knew it would end with my “to-do” list
which would involve putting away, taking down and cleaning up…ugh!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, at the top of my list, I wrote<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To Do -Day 1<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then the page sat
blank…the lines were there, the endless tasks were there, but my pen would not
write them there… I didn’t want business as usual, diving into chores, swimming
upstream through the waters of daily life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I began to think that my list
needed to start differently- to reflect the day in which I was presently in, to
honor the gathering of just days earlier, the feelings I wanted to capture… and
from those thoughts began a new way to start my list…It went like this<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Breathe<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>in and out, slow, to catch up<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Be <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>Grateful<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Enjoy <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>the moment<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Reflect<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>on the memories<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Smile <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>at the sun<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Hear<span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>the water<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Savor<span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>the coffee<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">-Let <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>my heart be filled</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I wrote those words, emotions came quite differently than
the usual thoughts from my usual to-do list such as… “Oh today’s already taken.
I’m already running behind with all the chores, errands, emails, calls,…”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of frantic, frazzled and finished –
my day began with this…”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Breathe</i>
(just saying it brings calm…try it, say it slowly, breathe in and then out), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Be…Enjoy…Reflect…Smile</i>…”. What a difference
my day and my list looked and felt like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ever since that day in October, I
have begun my lists this way and I can see where my heart lives in each day, my
focus on first things and to know that there will always be enough time for
what truly needs to get done…seeing others and savoring moments, delighting in
today and letting go of yesterday, embracing the daily and encouraging the
soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lists have a funny way of finding
out what is in our hearts and on our minds, what needs to get done and what can
be left behind, what is our purpose and what is living life on purpose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope that in sharing a few of my lists
(feel free to make them yours), your “to-do’s” will let you catch your breath
and begin to breathe with a new-found way to start you day. Here are Days 2-5
of my journal just as I wrote them. And just to let you know after my first
things, the list began to look like this…make beds, get ready, empty
dishwasher, etc…Just want to keep it real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The fascinating thing was (and is) each time I went back to my list to
cross off a completed task, I read and re-read my firsts list…how it changed my
days! I hope it will change yours...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until next time, let your list light your path to a breathing-easier,
loving-deeper, gratefully-living “to-doing” kind of a day. Let's savor the coffee and begin a new list...</div>

comes to the affirmations and encouragement in our home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can find words like hope, live, love and
laugh, joy, quotes from scripture and songs, sayings and truths. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The words find a place in my home and in my

When the calendar turned the page to January 1, Words began
popping up everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Questions such as
“what’s your word? Have you chosen a word? How do I choose a word? Can somebody
please choose my word? could be seen on Facebook. Artful pictures, calligraphy
letters of words already selected were popping up on Instagram.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems as if the Word of the year is now a movement,
an avenue to help focus our minds and thoughts and ultimately our actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the new year, I knew I needed a new
word, a fresh focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year I wanted
a word that would speak to me daily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
word that would easily be on my heart and my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One that would help focus and start my day,
give me direction but would also bring my joy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I began the journey of discovery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I read lists and lists and lists…so many good
words but there wasn’t just one word that could convey what I wanted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So as with my love for words, I chose three little
words that would focus my day…<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Clean, Create </i></b>and<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Calm<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Clean – each day,
something to clean out and clean up – maybe a drawer, cabinet or closet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just one thing to bring a little more
clarity.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Create- each day,
find a little (or a lot of) time to spend in the studio, the sewing room or
wherever I can give a little time to the art that fills my heart with joy, </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Calm- each day find something
that brings calm, whether reading for a few minutes outside, sitting with my
girls in wonderful conversation, crochet a few rows or spend a few minutes in
prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I finally decided on these three little words, I wanted
to see if I could choose a scripture to add to my word journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One that would keep me centered not just on
the words but on my heart as well… I think I found it....<o:p></o:p></div>

I found this mirror on one of our treasure hunting days in
Canton (TX). I actually passed it up (only for a moment) …the price was too
good to be true so I didn’t think it was. I looked at and then moved onto the
next booth. But it was just nagging at me to go back and to double check the
price… So, I did “Is this mirror really $4.00?”. “Yes” was the answer and money
changed hands and I was now a proud of owner of a not so perfect mirror that was
going to be perfect for my new kitchen wall!<o:p></o:p></div>

Etching was immediately on my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love to etch mirrors- it can be a little
tricky when removing the crème but with a little a patience and practice, it
turns out beautiful every time!! With <a href="http://etchall.com/" target="_blank">etchall</a>®, the etching is deep, beautiful
and permanent!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On mirrors, the etching
also adds to the beauty as it reflects what is in view and the words or images
gently create depth and richness. Reclaimed or Used Mirrors are easy to find at
treasure (thrift) stores, garage sales and estate sales and sometimes it’s
easier and a little less stressful to try something new on an inexpensive
item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you’ve finished one mirror,
you will be on the lookout for that perfect looking glass to etch your next
word or beautiful image!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s get
started….<o:p></o:p></div>

It is always exciting to welcome a new season and to greet
it with anticipation, highlighting the uniqueness to each time of year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the fall, I love to see all the magazines,
view Pinterest and see all the pumpkin-laden porches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in Texas it is really too warm to
set out the real deal, the parade of pumpkins become a mush in just a few short
weeks (sometimes, days depending on the temperatures).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SO, I am so thankful to our big craft/box
stores for giving us the faux pumpkins in plastic, papier-mâché and sometimes
ceramic…but sometimes, they need a little help to match our décor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this pumpkin project, I chose the cream-colored
plastic pumpkins at .98 each – I grabbed all they had and of course shared some
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with my mom!! These little gems don’t
need a pre-paint prep, no primer – they are a great base just as they are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using fusion paints, two coats was all they
required.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to continue with a
dark wax to highlight and give definition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Deciding what to add to give them a touch of my style was easy- a little
string, wire, shells and ICE Resin® paper were the perfect palette!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let your style come through- in selecting
your paints, choosing those things that speak to you, embellishments that you
love – ribbons, buttons, vintage jewelry…the pumpkin possibilities are
limitless.<o:p></o:p></div>

Since these are plastic, they are too light weight for
outside but they will grace our fall table (once my kitchen remodel is
finished) nestled in a wood tray that will be filled with shells and reindeer
moss. My perfect blend of fall and the joy of gathering –shells, memories and
more as<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we gather around the table. To create your

becomes felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>12 bottles equal 1 lb. of
felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The felt is weather resistant and
fade proof, great for outdoor décor. You can even line your garden beds or
patio with it, weed free!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The felt
diecuts beautifully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can even emboss
it and stamp on it.”<o:p></o:p></div>

As I took out the Classicfelt and the Premiumfelt, I knew this
{felt} felt good in my hands, so it was going to make a great cozy to wrap
around my coffee mug/tumbler which is where my hands are every morning around 5
am! I decided to run the felt through my Sizzix Big Shot and create my own
embellishments and sentiment for my cozy. The Premium felt in smoke, was the
perfect base piece to make the cozy and with new seasons approaching, I decided
to cut leaves, a teacup and ‘Enjoy’ along with a few hearts to share my love of
coffee, embroidery and Kunin Felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
project was a work of heart and also was finished in an evening. I love this
felt so much that I am working on the second one and will hopefully keep adding
to my coffee love with cozies and Kunin Felt! Pour a cup of joe, and let’s get
started making a cozy –you might even be finished before your second cup!<o:p></o:p></div>

I recently was using the paint technique of white washing on
some of my older terra cotta pots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
Texas, these pots usually do not make it through the winter as we can have
freezing temps one day and then warm up in the 70’s- a major no-no when it
comes to ceramics…Cracking occurs and then the pots are not really useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or in the outdoors, they do not maintain the
beautiful terra cotta color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turning old
terra cotta pots and platters into new home décor pieces is my way to rescue
these pots; painting them is also a fun, addictive and rewarding process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The<a href="https://www.earthsafefinishes.com/product-page/chalk-it-up-lighter-colors" target="_blank"> Earthsafe Finish Chalk it up Paints</a> are
some of the best I have worked with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
ease in which they work and the beautiful color palette are just a few reasons
I love these paints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are also good
for the environment as well as for us! The whitewashing technique is super
simple and yields a beautiful result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
paint must be painted on unglazed pots for the technique to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With my platters, there was a glaze finish so
I knew I had to remove it. Using <a href="http://etchall.com/" target="_blank">etchall® crème </a>was the answer (normally used
for etching glass, slate, mirrors and more). It is a quick 15-minute process that
removes the glaze and is now ready for white washing and stenciling. When all
is complete, it is now a perfect addition to my dining room and greets everyone
as we gather around the table.<o:p></o:p></div>

When on vacation, I always bring some Art and Craft supplies (and some sewing, crocheting supplies, too). Whenever we stay for an extended time and have a kitchen to use, I want to make it feel a little like home and a lot like vacation!! Enter the Plain Grinders...<br />

The taste of freshly ground peppercorns, the twist of the sea salt is perfect for so many of our cooking needs. But the black and red labels just don't do anything for ambience, for decor....With paper and Mod Podge™ in hand, I quickly transformed them into a beach inspired addition to our table on the balcony! This project is what I call a snippet. When you only have a snippet of time or a snippet of supplies, you can transform simple salt and pepper shakers to a decor element that adds to the theme of your party, your celebration, your table and most definitely your food!! Let's get started...<br />

In my earlier post (Part 1), the baby shower we celebrated was a beautiful blend of ideas and inspirations for sweet baby Logan! When all the pictures are taken at the shower, it captures the celebration but it doesn't share the preparation and the work (albeit enjoyed). In Part two of this DIY series, I want to share with you a few projects and plans we made before the actual event, give you tips and ideas on how to create a one of a kind celebration and how to put your own personal touch to the day. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Use a square plate or a basket to collect the wishes</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Let's get started with the preparation. Our shower was to be held in July. The timeline for invitations, whether email, evite or snail mail, the invitations need to be given 5-6 weeks in advance. So this means getting the guest list is one of the top priorities in preparation. For our shower, we actually did both paper invitations from t<a href="https://www.shutterfly.com/tinyprints?esch=1" target="_blank">iny prints</a> and evites through <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/" target="_blank">paperless post</a>. We chose to send both because first, not all guests respond to emails (think older like great-grandmothers) and through emails, you can send reminders. It's a win-win for everybody. We also chose tiny prints as they had more of the design styles we liked and also we were printing "Wishes for Baby" that coordinated with the paper invitations. We chose "Wishes for Baby" instead of advice for the new momma so it would remain positive and encouraging. Use a square plate or a basket to hold the wishes and for a fun touch, I ordered Sharpie markers in the coordinating blue from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Permanent-Markers-Ultra-Point/dp/B00006IFI5/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503325322&sr=8-3&keywords=blue+sharpie+markers" target="_blank">amazon</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first project was the mantle...Banners are the theme of the day. Whether they are burlap, paper or fabric; they become the focal point of the room, the celebrations. Sometimes when the banners are hung from a mantle, the everyday decor is removed and nothing is added or the decor is still there but doesn't coordinate and compliment the banner. To redecorate a mantle can be costly and frankly, you may love your mantle decor. I know I love mine!! For celebrations, we want to find easy, inexpensive and elegant. So here's what we did....<br />

<br />
The Mantle was created with treasure {thrift} store vases, glass jars, glass candle holders and <a href="http://www.krylon.com/" target="_blank">Krylon Sea Glass Spray</a>. We gathered several jars and vases that were different in shape and size. Using the sea glass spray in blue created harmony between all the glass. Here are a few tips on spray painting glass--<br />
<br />
*Use a box larger than the jars/vases and turn the box on it's side to create a back drop to catch the spray.<br />
*Spray in a slow, continuous motion.<br />
*Use several light coats to build up color. let dry in between sprays.<br />
*You can spray a sealer but it is not necessary.<br />
*Turn the jar by reaching in the opening of the jar and moving it. <br />
*Try not to touch the jar when wet; it will remove the paint and you will need to respray.<br />

<br />
I found at the blue candlesticks at Hope's Closet in Florida- a beautiful treasure {thrift} store that benefits missions in Africa and around the world. No matter where I am, I try to visit these stores and hope to find treasures as well as helping others. The candles were the battery operated ones that had an ombre look. Seashells were added as they are always a part of my home!! And the silver platter - always on the mantle and yes, it came from a treasure store!! Project one and done!!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for Part three of the Bibs, Blues and Banners which will feature an etched mirror, appliqués bibs and more.<br />
<br />
Until next time, I hope you found treasure that just might need a little spray of color!!!<br />

With Fall fast approaching, so is #PSL season...Pumpkin Spice Latte for those of you who have forgotten the new flavor of Autumn. Forget apples and caramel, Bring on the #PSL!! To get ready for the anticipated arrival, I designed my very own #psl savings bank using a repurposed jar, a mason jar lid fitted with the coin slot accessory, stencils and the most wonderful etching creme and liquid, etch all® creme and dip 'n etch®. I am so honored to be on the etchall® Design Team where I can share, teach and hopefully inspire you too.<br />

This was such a fun project to make and shows the ease in which to transform an ordinary jar into one with extraordinary purpose...saving for the cool, crisp days of autumn and enjoying lattes by the fire...who am I kidding? In Texas, it still will be hot and we will be in summer clothes but the lattes will still be enjoyed...Let's gather our supplies and get started.<br />

For the initial charms, adhere stencil to clean glass squares. Tape down onto a non stick craft mat. Spread etchall® creme onto the stencil. Be sure to cover generously. Set time for 15 minutes. Once time is through, return creme to the original jar. Rinse the stenciled glass under warm water before removing the stencils. Then remove stencils and dry with a towel. <br />

As we are in the midst of this Kitchen Remodel, I have been taking pictures of the process. In my earlier post of Week One, there was a lot of change- cabinets being taking out, countertops getting the hammer, walls coming down, holes in the ceiling, plumbers, and electricians. Week two came with little excitement...wallpaper that seemed to resist all efforts of coming off the walls, wiring new lights and removing old lights, walls in need of new sheet rock, waiting on inspectors - all of which are part of the process. And to aid in learning patience through this process, our main AC went out and was out for 6 days!! We had fans going, stayed out in the studio and hungout by the pool - but it is August in Texas so the pool was really a large hot tub...but we made it through.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The start of Week 3 had promise...the 'drywall guy" (I really don't know his name) came Monday morning. He and his assistant seemed to be working hard in the morning- measuring, marking, cutting...getting each piece ready for the necessary repairs and the corresponding walls. Around 1:30, they left for what I thought was their lunch break.... Our contractors had left for the day to work on the finishing of my cabinets when they appeared around 3:30 No drywall guy in sight, no assistant and no tools in the kitchen... Their text implied to our contractors was basically - "We can't replace and repair - It's too hard." Our contractors texted back to him "We know how to do this. Meet us at the house and we will show you." Drywall guy and his assistant had bailed. <br />

<br />
I began thinking of this young man and his construction/remodeling business and how he had done the prep work, worked 1/2 day and quit. He missed out on 1/2 day's pay but really missed out on learning how to do hard things. He missed out on growing, becoming seasoned in his profession and missed out on the rewards of finishing a job well done. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then I began thinking of our daily journey and what do we do when hard things arrive because they will. They will knock on the door of our home and heart. How do we not just do the prep work but how to see hard things, all things, through to the end?<br />
<br />
During the morning while the drywall guy was working, I would peek in on them - so I could see and learn the process. I noticed that when they were trying to repair the sheet rock on our sloped ceiling, they were trying to repair it with one heavy, heavy, piece cut to the weird opening. Heavy, hard, heavy, unyielding piece of sheet rock - did I say it was heavy? They were unsuccessful - are you surprised? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
In life, our hard things are sheet rock. Heavy, hard, unyielding and seeming unmanageable, unbearable and let's face it, we want to bail, pack up our tools and leave. But what if the way through these hard things is in how we mark, measure and cut? What I mean is what if we don't look at the hard things as one big piece..what if we took it and broke it down into manageable, bearable, not so heavy on our soul pieces. If we didn't look at the big picture, the what if's and the never's. If our hard thing was broken down bit by bit..choosing to work on one area at a time, so we can move forward. Looking at the hard things and staring in disbelief or disappointment is normal, natural. But then turn your gaze to the "What can I do? What is the next right thing ?" Sometimes, the next right thing is to empty the dishwasher, clean your room, pay the bills, call a friend, give yourself grace in this moment, ask for help. As you and I tackle the hard things in life, we need a small plan, a manageable plan for where we are, what we can do and who can help us. A grand design begins with small steps...Small steps that move us forward, gives us a path and a destination.<br />

Day 23 was a great day...a new drywall guy (still don't know his name either) and his two assistants rang the bell at 8:00, surveyed all the repairs and brought in their tools. They began to work wallpaper magic and drywall dreams. The hole in the ceiling repaired with smaller pieces and once the mud went on--no one knew if the opening was filled with a large piece or smaller pieces...there's the life lesson...we do what we can to get where we want to be piece by piece, step by step, day by day, and when the hard things are passed-the reward is getting through them. A job well done, confidence that we can weather the storm and see the rainbow at the end. <br />

<br />
So the next time you are faced with a hard thing - break it down, look at what you can do today to move forward and then do that again tomorrow and perhaps on Day 23 you will see your drywall dreams and the hard thing, the heavy- on- the- heart thing will be replaced with a lighter, brighter heart and a beautiful story of how you overcame.<br />

<br />
Until next time,<br />

Recently, I hosted a baby shower for the oldest daughter of wonderful family friends. When we heard the great news in February, I offered to host the shower and promised it would be a wonderful memorable day and we would definitely have cake!! In April, the plans started to come together. The mother-to-be chose blues, grays and teals, elephants and giraffes;we shared a Pinterest board entitled <b><i>baby</i></b>; with my experience of hosting and planning events, I also wanted to add my personal touch, things she might not find with the latest trends. So I set out to create several designated and decorated areas in my home. The mantle would be transformed to a sea of blue vases, jars and candles, fitted with a banner of onesies, toys and ribbons and of course his sweet name, Logan.<br />

Our breakfast room was "Bib making Central" complete with appliqués and baby photos of the soon-to-be parents. A beautiful DIY etched mirror was part of the centerpiece. <br />

The Kitchen Island became a Taco Bar as per the request of the mother-to-be who really wanted queso (and a cake) fully decorated with gray whitewashed pallet crates, Mexican inspired gray dish towels, nacho trays, tissue paper flowers hanging form the pot rack and a children's book <i>Dragons Love Tacos.</i><br />

Our entry way greeted each guest with a sign in Giraffe canvas drawn by her youngest sister. The guests would use the ink pads to add their finger print creating the "spots" for the Giraffes;with a sharpie marker, they would add their name.<br />

On the bar, we had placed "Wishes for Baby' (printed by <a href="https://www.shutterfly.com/tinyprints" target="_blank">tiny prints.com</a>) and blue sharpie markers. The mother-to-be didn't want unsolicited or negative advice, so we turned our wishes to the baby! Also, on the bar, a plastic baby bottle bank (say that three times fast) filled with blue and gray chocolate drops was the focus of "Guess how many?'" The winner received handmade lotion bars and the momma got the bank!<br />

The dining room table was pure elegance. The centerpiece was a massive diaper cake by the soon to be grandmother, filled with diapers, onesies, stuffed animals and more. We brought out the glass punch bowl, cups and party plates. I have been collecting these glass party plates and cups for over 25 years and we use them on all celebrations. They bring such elegance!! Gracing the table were chicken salad tarts, orange marmalade tea sandwiches, frosted blue sugar cookies, blue dipped Oreos, strawberries with powdered sugar, crudities on glass trays and personalized chocolate kisses. Three children's books completed this table-<i>If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Paddington and If Animals Kiss</i> <i>Goodnight</i>. By using glass and silver serving pieces the table was elegant and festive.<br />

Every family member from the aunts, great aunts, grandmothers and great grandmothers and momma to be received corsages starting small with the aunts having 3 small roses to the momma-to-be having 7 roses and a lot of ribbon. Our florist was amazing!! Each guest left with a little blue tulle bag filled with chocolate and wonderful memories of celebrating and anticipating the arrival of Baby Logan.<br />
<br />
Whew....this was a grand event! My youngest has a saying "It doesn't cost anything to Pin an idea." In reality, celebrations do take time, money and most of all, LOVE! So with that in mind, here are a few suggestions if you are planning a celebration or if you are the one who is being celebrated.<br />
<br />
<br />
*Begin planning early, so you can begin to gather the necessary items.<br />
*If you use Pinterest as your idea board, keep in mind that you may not be able to do all of your ideas. Narrow your choice to your top 3 ideas.<br />
*If you are the hostess, put your personal touch on the celebration as well. <br />
*If you host celebrations often or want to start having serving pieces, Thrift stores and garage sales are great places to find serving pieces such as glass /silver platters, punch bowls and cups. **It is so worth the investment.<br />
*If possible, invest in white tablecloths. They can be used at every party and celebration. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LinenTablecloth-126-Inch-Rectangular-Polyester-Tablecloth/dp/B008TL8BI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502044760&sr=8-1&keywords=white+tablecloth" target="_blank">Amazon </a>has them at a great price.<br />
*If there will be several "stations" in you home, begin to decorate those areas 1-2 days before the celebration.<br />
*For the food, bake or make 1-2 of the recipes and then use the bakery of your local grocery store for the other recipes. Also, in the frozen section are wonderful appetizers and bite size desserts. Doing this will help the stress level.<br />
*If this is a summer afternoon event, punch and water will be enough. No need for coffee and other offerings. Keep it Simple. <br />
<br />
<br />
While this was a big undertaking, spreading out the planning, gathering and decorating over several months created a virtually stress free event!! Working closely with the momma-to-be and keeping some things secret till the Celebration, this was a fun and beautiful day! In Part 2 of the Baby Shower, I'll share the DIY's of the Day! including how to create the banner, the mantle, the etched mirror and and recipes for our Two Bar!<br />
<br />
Until next time, Have a great time planning, pinning and dreaming of your next Celebration!<br />

This could be an intro to an HGTV show...."After 17 years, 3 kids, 16 Thanksgivings, 16 Christmases, Holidays and countless birthday parties and even more gatherings around the table....it's time to refresh, renovate, remodel and renew!!! As my youngest discovered...after we dream of college, marriage, children....the next big dream....a new Kitchen!!! There are actually a lot of dreams in between and beyond the kitchen. But for me, my kitchen is where we share not only our food, we share in our thoughts; our days- the good ones and the not so good; we do homework, we learn of new worlds, and new words; the prayers that are said are sweet and the aroma of family and friends fill my kitchen, my home and my heart. Nourish- is what comes to mind as I think of my kitchen, my home. We nourish not only the body, but the soul, the spirit and the heart. <br />
<br />
We have planned and dreamed on how to make our kitchen even better than before. I had a beautiful kitchen but it was in need of more than a facelift..we needed to replace the time worn and well loved floors, cabinets; we needed a flow to the wonderful traffic that enters our home on a regular basis (20 or so teenage girls, art classes and friends gathering), a place where Home Ec students can be taught the way to feed our families without a trip to the nearest fast food restaurant, a place to learn the art of celebrating and to gather once again around the island and get our hands a little messy as we knead the dough and sift through life's journey.<br />
<br />
This is week one in the journey. This is a new process for me, seeing how the insides of the walls work, quietly and now more efficient; to see the beams that hold up my walls; the talent of men who have learned the art of plumbing, electricity, construction- it is truly an art and the men who have walked in my kitchen truly know their craft. It has been a week of living with dust, but dusting each night (it is like shoveling snow while it is still snowing); a week of cooking creatively with the grill, crockpot and pressure cooker; a week of learning and letting go; making way for the new by removing the old. I feel life lessons are coming from this process- I will let those simmer just a while.<br />

Here are a few pictures of before and during....<br />

Thank you for joining me on this journey...Life lessons, learning curves and creating a new gathering place, where we can feed our family, friends and find comfort not only in food but in one another.<br />
<br />
Until next time, add a little love in your next dinner as you gather around the table!!<br />

out all the other blogs in the hop for great ideas and inspiration as <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we feature SRM and a few of their fantastic
lines for scrapbooking and Bible journaling. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had the pleasure of receiving a set of clear
stamps entitled <a href="http://www.srmstore.com/Daily-Devotion-Clear-Stamp_p_4362.html" target="_blank">Daily Devotions</a> from <a href="http://www.srmstore.com/" target="_blank">SRM</a>. (Thank you SRM!!!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is filled with words of encouragement,
affirmation, study and thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
words immediately brought to mind so many scriptures and beautiful hymns...His
Grace is sufficient…You are a chosen people,... Seek and you shall find.. Abide
with me…The steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases...Come let us adore him…
and so much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I knew I had to
use as many as I could!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are so
tiny, well-made and perfect for oh so many areas in our journaling and paper
art life!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Gathering words is a joy of
mine as I have words throughout my home, my art and my jewelry... These words
from the stamp collection truly speak to me. Whatever I created I wanted to be
visual and that I could see not just on one page of my Bible but perhaps
throughout. I remembered a bookmark that I had purchased for my daughter with
different color ribbons almost like a tassel…this sparked my creativity and I
set out to gather all the supplies, stamps and ribbon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This bookmark can hold, not just one place
but 6 different places. For me, I thought that it could hold verses that hold
special meaning of the words I have chosen. To me, however, the most important
ones will be dangling outside my Bible, with the words Choose Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s get started creating our bookmark…<o:p></o:p><br />

Happy Thursday!! Today on the <a href="http://www.iceresin.com/2017/06/08/zen-inspired-bezels-by-chantal-johnson/" target="_blank">ICE Resin Blog </a>is one of my favorite (and easy) jewelry pieces. Zentangles are a favorite of so many. The simplicity of the black and white, the rhythm of the patterns and the serenity that comes as we move pen to paper was my inspiration for this necklace. With a few simple supplies and a little time, you too can be Zen-inspired! Hope you will take a few moments and visit the blog to see just how simple and stress-free this can be!! Here are a few close-up photos ....<br />

Recently I shared with y'all the joy of journaling with two word lists. Each morning, before the world begins and by world, I mean, dogs, hens, children, husband and the to do lists, I sit quietly at the kitchen table. To my left is my special bag of pens, my gratitude journal, another study journal and my Bible. To my right, is coffee...always coffee. The rest of the house is dark and quiet. the light in the kitchen is all I need to see what is in front of me - the Light of the World and the whisper of the Spirit. I start with my gratitude journal, even on mornings when I am not feeling particularly grateful...I start the same way, each and everyday. I am grateful for this day, a good cup of coffee, and then the list begins...Yesterday, I wrote some general things and then my mind began to wonder in two different directions, as it often does...and then so did my list. Isn't that how life is at times? Full of faith and full of doubt. Full of laugher and full of tears. Depending on the season of life or even in the split second like when children are laughing together and then their laughter turns to tears... I thought about the familiar and the new... One adventourous and unknown; the other, known and safe. <br />
<br />
Here's a portion of my list..a good way to view life as not one thing or the other. It's a blending of both, balancing mind and soul and leaning forward...all the while, being grateful for both.<br />
<br />
<i>I am grateful for...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>*dreams and to do lists</i><br />
<i>*the planned and the carefree</i><br />
<i>*the pursuit and the pause</i><br />
<i>*the do-ing and the be-ing</i><br />
<i>*Highs and lows</i><br />
<i>*the new and the old</i><br />
<i>*the routine and the spontaneity</i><br />
<i>*the tried&true and the risk</i><br />
<i>*my past and my present</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Then my list shifted to this...<br />
<br />
<i>*The Lord being in all of my opposites</i><br />
<i>*Life's stages - May I play my part well</i><br />
<i>*Life's seasons- May I savor and learn from each of them</i><br />
<i>*Life's Opposites - May I handle them with Grace and Faith.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
They say opposites attract and for relationships perhaps that's true. But I have found the in all opposites there must be a common thread that connects the two. For me it is my faith in the Lord who has made everything perfect in his time. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon wrote about opposites and that there is truly a time for everything. Life is filled with opposites. Life is also, filled with connections. Connections, threads, faith - like cable wires in the ground, they are ever present but protected by the soil. Buried but most definetly not forgotten. We need these deep rooted connections to weather the changes, the opposites in life. We don't want our root system to be only a few inches beneath the surface. We want it to be well- planted, well-watered and well-protected. <br />
<br />
Each morning, as I listen for the whisper, this is where my blending of life and it's challenges happen..through time, prayer and leaning in to what the Lord has to share in the opposites in my life, he'll show me in perfect time how these opposites attract and become part of my root system, my growth, my story. It doesn't happen overnight, it takes a life- time of tending, planting and pruning. <br />
<br />
So what opposites can you be grateful for? Start a list in your journal and see how your thoughts become ways to see life not just as black or white but a blending, a time of connecting. Some opposites are fun like our sons and daughters, new and old but some are a little more challenging such as staying and leaving, risk and routine, and some will take all of our faith to find the connection such as gain and loss, joy and sadness...and what I have found to be true, is that in all of this, the grounding of our Faith will be the right balance for the nurturing of our lives. <br />
<br />
Until next time, may you find joy in journaling...<br />

Willow Hearts is a love of mine. We started this girls group almost 5 years ago with the idea of creating community, a safe place, an inviting place, an accepting place, a loving place, a fun place where we could share, learn and grow. We have met at least twice a month, where art, faith and friendship collide. We also have special days and traditions such as our Costume Party, Christmas in Mexico (a service project), Secret Santa and Summer Fun days but one of the most special of all days is our annual Mother/Daughter Tea which also includes Grandmothers. It's a time to sit and enjoy moms and daughters, teas and scones, love and friendship. My backyard becomes center stage for our Garden Tea Party where glass plates, teacups and pretty napkins are placed on each of the round tables, where food is served from tiered plates and laugher is heard from table to table. It's a moment in time that seems to stand still, no distractions except maybe a bird or two. At the end of the tea, we all participate in a teacup swap. Each mother/daughter/granddaughter brings a wrapped teacup whether new, old or somewhere in between. It's an exciting time to see all the teacups- the varying styles from modern and sleek to floral and elegant. <br />

But the most wonderful exchange is not the teacups but of stories, friendship and love - for which I am forever grateful. These girls and their moms have shared with me their time and creativity, their friendship and their love. This year was no exception to the beauty and joy that was shared that afternoon. My backyard is transformed to an elegant outing, an oasis from the busyness of life- we hide the pool rafts, clean up the flower beds and make sure there is no evidence of the three dogs that grace our yard on a daily basis. We set rented tables with crisp white linens, fresh flowers and conversation starters. We pull out the collection of glass party plates, teacups and vintage silver spoons, polished only on this occasion. We begin to plate the glass tiers with chicken salad tarts, cucumber sandwiches (my mother's infamous tea treasures) and turkey triangles. On another plate is scones accompanied with clotted cream and jam, and still on another is macaroons, cream puffs and mini Victorian sponge cakes made by Presleigh who loves all things British. <br />

This year, we shared about the memories made by the exchanging not just of teacups but of time and presence. I encouraged them to lean in and remember these special times with friends, moms and daughters, to remember the warm feelings of friendship admist the warm Texas heat, the hands and hearts who selected the teacups. We know that our teatime tradition only lasts a few hours, but in the moments forward, this teatime afternoon becomes a memory to savor and serve warm with a dollop of love!<br />

Recently our ceiling fell (another story for another time

only thing that was ruined was.... you guessed it- my magazines that were on
the coffee table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so very
grateful that no one was hurt. Our furniture was cleaned and restored but…. Oh
the sad state of a stack of my treasures (magazines), wet and somewhat crumpled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What was I to do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>…. Get creating!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
With my wet British County Living, I decided to try a paste
paper technique to try and save some of the beautiful images..<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I love with this technique
is that each pendant, collage or bezel will be different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the blending of the papers, the
effects can be soft as Monet’s flower fields or vibrant as Georgia O’Keefe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if you are willing to part
with your magazines, let’s get started and create these works of art…. if you
can’t part with your treasured publications, just ask your neighbor for
theirs…. Happy Creating!!</div>

Mod Podge®…. who knew it would be the go to decoupage,
sealer and more way back in the 70’s when as a little girl, I remember my mom
using this amazing stuff that was in a funky orange and yellow bottle!! She would use it
on everything from “Decoupage-ing” recipes onto wood breadboards to sealing
hand painted home décor items and more. I love the story of how it began by <a href="https://plaidonline.com/articles/the-history-of-mod-podge" target="_blank">Jan Wetstone</a> in
the 1960’s!! She has made a lasting
impact on crafters everywhere and also on the beautifully crafted pieces that
are made. My mom’s breadboards are
as perfect today as they were when she first made them. </div>

contained Mod Podge®, brushes that were made by Plaid for Mod Podge® and a few
other treasures. Thank you, Plaid®!! But what was I to
create; the ideas are boundless, limitless…paper or fabric, glass or wood…and then
I remembered how on a recent trip to London, I had fallen in love with Liberty of London’s <a href="http://www.libertylondon.com/uk/liberty-print-dualit-architect-toaster-R081793006.html?dwvar_000528135_color=WILTSHIRE%20S&referrer=search#q=toaster&simplesearch=Go&start=1" target="_blank">famous fabric patterned toasters, mixers and more. </a></div>

Would
there be a way to use Mod Podge on an appliance???? YES… it’s the Dishwasher safe Mod Podge®!! So to the treasure store I went, searching for an appliance to cover with originally designed
paper and Mod Podge®! On my first
stop, I found (and purchased) a little Crockpot dipper for $3.99 and it was 30% off!! I continued to look for more appliances
but some were too big, too many hinges, too expensive… So this little dipper
was just the right size to begin this endeavor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While working with this project, I decided to use the
brushes that were in my goody box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
seen them in the stores but truthfully, I thought all brushes were equal and I
always used sponge brushes…well, not anymore!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are fantastic brushes and brushing on even coats has
never been easier!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They wash and
dry beautifully and are ready to be used again and again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These now will be special brushes only
for Mod Podge® and as for the sponge brushes- they will get to be used with
something else.</div>

Now, that I have finished this little appliance, I am onto covering a 1940’s vintage Kitchen Aid Mixer (see pictures below-blog post to follow)and is search of the perfect tea kettle!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel that if Jan and I had met in person, we would be
covering everything from dishes to doors and everything in between!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Using my Cricut and the etchall® etchmask, I cut a 3" stencil of Texas. On the first jar, I used the stencil outline along with the etchall® creme...set the timer for 15 minutes...poured the creme back in to the jar of etchall®, rinsed, removed tape and stencil and....TEXAS!!! I added some jute and a hand painted ICE Resined wood heart. I just love this jar!!! And whatever will go in it, will shine as bright as the stars at night....</div>

For the second jar, I used the solid Texas from the stencil and used a slightly different technique...texturizing or stippling for those of you in the "Stencil World." Once "Texas" was adhered to the jar, I used a sea sponge to dab etchall® creme to the entire jar (except the Texas area)...set the timer for 15 minutes... rinsed, removed the Texas etch mask and...the jar was etched in a beautiful allover textured pattern while Texas was clear and crisp just like our perfect Texas evenings in the fall. To finish this jar, I added white seam binding, a heart etched with arrows and a little dangling heart!!</div>

Happy Wednesday! Being on a Creative Design team is a joy and privilege. And one that I am currently enjoying is that of the Creative Team with Ann Butler and her amazing designs in stamping, her color palette in her line of inks and more. This is my first project with this new team of 2017. My focus will be stitching and embroidery while incorporating her products in my pieces. In this banner, we take 2 of her faux quilting stamps to create our background. Then to give it a focal point and share a sentiment I added french knots to one of my labels (these will be available in mid to late April- there are 4 sayings). To complete the banner, vintage red trim, eyelets and lace create a this Bohemian style wall hanging.

I love that I have the opportunity to sit, stitch and share inspiration projects and little pieces of my heart!<br />

I am so excited to be part of the <a href="http://designercraftsconnection.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">DCC blog hop</a> featuring <a href="http://etchall.com/" target="_blank">etchall®</a> and their fabulous etching products!! Today, I want to share with you the ease in using the etchall®etching creme and the amazing results you can have! There are many etching products available to us and I have used many of them. But once I started using etchall®, I was hooked!! It etches deep, leaving a beautiful shade to your surface. It can work on mirrors, glass, slate and more. It's reusable - can you believe it? You just scoop the excess back into the jar!!! For this project, the supply list is short, the time it takes to etch is short but the enjoyment will last a lifetime!! Let's get started...<br />
<br />
<b>Let's gather...</b><br />
<br />
Thrift store find mirror<br />
Etchall® etching creme<br />
Stencil<br />
Stencil tape or painters tape<br />
Glass Cleaner and paper towels<br />
<br />
<b>Let's get etching...</b><br />
<br />
1. Lay mirror onto a surface such as a counter top or a table. Be sure to protect the surface where you will be etching.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
2. Position stencil and then with stencil/painter's tape, Tape stencil securely to the mirror,keeping the stencil tight up against the mirror<br />
<br />
3. Pour a little of the etching creme on to the corner of the stencil. Using the squeegee, begin to spread the creme across the stencil. Apply this in one direction so as to not disturb the stencil<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Any excess of creme, can go back in the jar!!!<br />
<br />
4. Once stencil is covered with the creme, set the timer to 15 minutes. <br />
<br />
5. When the 15 minutes are finished, begin to rinse with warm water, the stencil areas, trying to get all the creme off before removing the stencil<br />

I absolutely fell in love with this mirror. After is was all cleaned, I sanded the edges to reveal 4 layers of paint. I left the patinas on the mirror to give it that vintage feel. With the french sentiment stencil and the etchall® etching creme, this mirror could hang in the cafe or in your home!! <br />
<br />
Until next time, look for thrift store mirrors, glasses and all those etching possiblities can become reality...all it takes is 15 minutes!!! I hope you will give it a try!!<br />
