Dining Room Chair Useful Again

I made two of these chairs for my craft room..my daughters dog chewed thru one of the bottom braces making the chair no good anymore. I love these chairs for the larger seats and high backs for crafting...very solid. So I got this great idea to put them on wheels from my broken computer chair that my friend broke the back out of......I am tellin you these are now my most favorite chairs in the house..the shock absorber effect of the computer chair base is awesome...So I now have two new chairs..my craft room has furniture that will soon all be black in color and distressed....with black and white damask fabrics and burgandy trims. So I am on my journey to getting my room decorated...

Got the Christmas Spirit Already

I totally want to craft chrsitmas stuff....I love making anything christmas. ..these are for my friends that come to my Christmas craft party every year...this will hold all the goodies to make three projects I will teach. I have the same 4 ladies every year and one new one every year for a total 5 ladies in my small craft room..we all have so much fun thou even with the tight squeeze..We all look forward to this every year..they are all asking already what we are making..so they got me going on a few things...lol...this will be thier gift along with a special ornament from me. The things we make at the party will be something they can make for thier family and friends this year also.

I Made this with a large plastic coffee can. I cleaned it out with soap and water...poured some vanilla on a newspaper and set out in the sun with the lids on it...gets the coffee smell out..then I wiped a bit of vanilla on the inside of the canister wha la! ready for cookies....These graphics were purchased from http://www.coutnrycharmgraphics.com/ over a year ago..I run them thru my xyron so they will stick on nicely and there ya have it...A beautiful canister...these work well for mailing goodies also...

Old Shoes Made New Again

My favorite shoes were getting so old and scuffed that I bought one of those Sharpie wood repair pens and fixed them right up...Now they look pretty sharp again and ready to wear for a longer time.. these pens worked great to dye the wood a darker color...

My Front Door

Since I have shown my front doors inside, my back door that I enter I thought I should show where my guests enter.. hard to get good pics do to the long entry I have but here is the best I got....I painted it all black and distressed a little...I have a burgandy glass screen door surround. I then added my Welcome that I purchased from Julie at Uppercase Living..added a lacey effect on top and a few other of my creations and wha-la! I welcome all my friends in style....check out Julie's site for so many awesome ideas using vinyls...also check out my blog for other vinly creations...I am totaly hooked on it.

Ok so now please I have shown you my welcome door ..please come by for a visit even if it is only my blog..I will keep you crafting for weeks I am sure.. I do all kinds of crafts but, one of my favorites is recycling or transformations... stay for a bit and take a peek around..
