DIY Valentine banner!

Happy Friday everyone! I have been a busy bee getting the shop all pretty for Valentine's day! I thought I would share a simple DIY for a pretty felt heart banner like the one I made for my Valentine themed table. :)



It is so simple.. all you need is a few pieces of pretty felt & a hot glue gun. I cut out about 9 hearts to make the banner shown in pics. I put a dab of hot glue on the very edge of the heart and overlapped the very edges to keep them joined togther. If you can sew you could sew them as well. That is about it. :) You could do different shapes and colors add ribbon or buttons (I used push pins to hang it on the wood table)!



It is a really cute way to decorate your house, bedroom or anything really.. it would be soo cute for a Valentine themed party!



The shop is open 10-5 today. I also am having quite a few sales at the shop... a few select items are 20% off, fancy headbands are now ONLY $10.00 (That is 1/2 off & I don't have many left!) as well as kistchy earrings buy 1 get 1/2 off!

Have a great weekend!! xo!

Sorry...

I had to close a little early today! I have a sick little boy at home. I apologize for any inconvenience. Mama first.. shop owner second!

Thank you for understanding!

Our Sunday..

started with this.. a quick little run to my favorite antique store on my way to my not so favorite trip to the grocery store. (I really dislike grocery shopping!)



I picked up this sweet vintage heart shaped cookie cutter for $1. and since we had never gotten around to making those Christmas cookies .. I had everything I needed to make these!



Jada & I made these special for Jake & Max while they were in the Man cave.. Lol (our family room in the basement)! They turned out soo cute & so much less stress then baking Christmas cookies.



I have been busy sewing today & I have more cute vintage to bring to the shop tomorrow!! Shop hours are back to normal this week. I am thinking about changing Saturday hours to 10:30-2. Stay tuned!

Happy Monday!! xo!

LOVE ♥

I just got this new headband handmade by Tiny Bazaar on Etsy! I love it.. I think my dolls do too!

Happy weekend! xo!

Me & You!

I found the sweetest vintage mugs while thrifting the other day! I knew they would make the cutest set of candles for my shop! I used the yummiest french vanilla scent. These will be sold as a set.



I have finished lots of fun goodies for the shop but I have plenty left to do.. today is full of running errands, taking my old sewing machine in.. YAY! It still has warranty left.. and sewing up wrap skirts later & a valentine banner idea that I actually made last year.. but it never made its way to the shop!

p.s. I am thinking about opening the shop tomorrow 11:15-2:00. My son has a basketball game in the morning! See you tomorrow!

xo!

Dexter wants to say Hi!

Dexter wanted to say Hi! :) He is getting sooo big! I have been working from home all week & it feels great to get caught up!



I spent Monday in Milwaukee with my friend Laurie and came home with some fun things for the shop! I also found these ADORABLE vintage hats yesterday. I washed them all up & they will be heading to the shop with me next week.. along with all the yummy candles I have been making!




Have a great day! I am off to sew!!
xo!

2011 is off to a good start!

2011 is off to a good start for me! I have been busy reorganizing my sewing room.. getting caught up on paper work and all that end of year stuff I am behind on! I decided to close the shop this week to allow me some time to get caught up.. it is just me running the show & sometimes I need a little break to get reinspired & regrouped.

I have rewarded myself with this sweet gal! She came in the mail yesterday.. I love her so much!



While I was organizing my sewing room I came across lots of prints & things that I love & kind of forgot about. I made up a cute new collage for inspiration on the wall above my sewing machines! It is filled with a few things that make me happy!



annnnd I just ordered lots of pretty fabrics to be made into new wrap skirts! I have plans on making purses again too. One of my New years resolutions is to get more of my own projects done & fill the shop with more of my work!



Speaking of making more of my own goods.. I think I am going to make a few more candles tonight for the shop . I love making them! :)

Happy 2011 to you!
xoxo!

p.s. I am closed all week, but shop hours will be back to normal next Tuesday! Thanks for understanding!
