Pink Satin Ruffle Tree

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New & improved!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was teaching a class on my student Bailey suggested that I
put bling on the tree.
What a great idea!
It is so cute and just what it needed!
Thanks Bailey!!

These cute little "blings" are stickers.

You just peel and stick!

I am gearing up for Christmas and wanted a unique Christmas

tree in my studio.

I had this Styrofoam cone in my craft supplies and some pink satin ruffle

that I bought for something else and never used.

I just used small straight pins to attach the ruffle to the styrofoam.

Pin the ruffle as you wrap it around the styrofoam.

Keep wrapping it around the cone

until you get to the top.

Take the ruffle and fold under the raw edge

and then pin some more to really secure it.
I used alot of pins to make sure it wouldn't come undone.

I added some pink feather boa to the top to hide the pins.

Super cute and easy!!

Now I am ready for Christmas.

(I wish it was that easy!!)

Support Handmade

I was able to participate in 7 different boutiques this season. One thing I noticed was the lack of handmade items. So many booths had retail jewelry, purses, clothes etc... Which is fine but, since I make all of my own things I can appreciate the work that goes into creating all of these fabulous products. I found this great purse for my daughter for Christmas at one of the boutiques. She loved it! It is well made and was only $36.00!! With all the classes and orders I have to make I don't have the time to stop and make something like this. It was worth it to me to buy it. Here is a cute little wallet that she picked out to go with the purse. It was cute and only $6.00! I absolutely love these!! My aunt used to send me her homemade washcloths every year for Christmas. She has gotten older and hasn't been making them lately. I picked these up at a boutique as well. The round scrubber is a washcloth on one side and scrubber on the other. If you have not tried these you are miss

From Drop Cloth to Painted Rug

I had a wheelchair ramp built going into my house for my 6 yr old who is in a wheelchair. I have loved having it. He is getting so big that it was getting difficult to get him in & out of the house. This is so much easier! Here's the problem: It's ugly and my welcome mat/entry rug doesn't fit! No bueno!! I looked for a rug that would fit but didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. So...I decided to make my own. I got a canvas drop cloth from Lowe's for just under $10.00. I gave it a good ironing to get the creases out. I had some white house paint from another project and painted the drop cloth. (Tip: Even though this is a drop cloth the paint soaked through to the backside. I put a plastic drop cloth under it to protect my table.) Then I stenciled it. I was going to do a different pattern and transfer it on to the drop cloth but I already had the stencil and let's face it...
