Story Of A Chair

There's this chair now

And it was like this, on the side of the road, alone.

The chair was given to me from a friend of mine. I knew it can be a lot happier place to sit on than what it was. So here it goes the transformation of this one brown and ordinary chair.

Happy Green Bookshelf Tutorial

I bought this bookshelf two years ago for $8. It sat in the "Store For Old Furniture"(the basement as my hubby calls it), looking like this:

In my head it was done and beautiful from the moment I saw it. Most of my projects are played, replayed and finished in my head many times and long before I grab the sander and the paintbrush.

Etched Glass Bottle - Horse

Jar Pin Up Cushion

Since I've started posting about my crazy sleepless crafting sewing nights, I've inspired people around me to  buy a sewing machine and try their luck in making something . Makes me smile.

I started sewing because I had to fix my pants, I'm 5ft 2in tall(or should I say short) so I learned how to sew on my mom's sewing machine , reading the manual.

So, to say thank you to all my dear friends who share my passion I made and gave away Jar Pin Up Cushions.

Cowgirl Birthday Invitation

My baby girl Ema is turning three years old and she is over her mane and hooves for horses and ponies and creatures alike. So, we are having a Cowgirl Birthday Party.

Let The Gallop Begin!!!

Valentine Sweet Tooth Wreath

I made one...

and I love it!!!

Now, I had to put this one way up high because my 3yr old doesn't understand why would I waste so many candies. Neither do I.

This wreath is definitely for inside. The sweet corn is way to soft and fragile to be put outside.

Mod Podge Horseshoes Crafty Joy

Have you heard about Mod Podge?
It's this glue like stuff you can put on fabric or paper that dries clear making a protective, durable coat(when used on top of the paper or fabric) and it's super easy and fun to work with.
Here is what I made using Mod Podge:

The Idea

This project is part of many projects for a Western Cowgirl B-day party I plan on this coming March.
My little girl is turning three and she is in love with horses and ponies. So I came up with the idea to decorate horseshoes for the party. And they turned out beautiful:
