Mason Jar Flower Vase



I love being able to up cycle or recycle or whatever you want to call it, especially Mason jars. 

For this project, I used two napkins from McDonald’s and mod podge to the jar. I then used Apple Barrel acrylic paint in Nutmeg Brown and painted over the napkins. 

Once it was dried, I placed styrofoam inside the jar with purple Easter moss. I used purple ribbon and a “cherish” decor items from the Dollar Tree. 

I added two bouquets of African violets (freebie from Temu). I think it turned out gorgeous.

Quilt Top…

 Baby Blanket

Quilting is such a fun hobby to learn. I started quilting about 20+ years ago. I let it lay by the wayside for years while I stayed busy in crocheting and crafting. 

But, since I’ve found Temu and noticed they sale pre-cut squares, it has made me want to quilt again. They offer a wide variety of different square sizes. I absolutely love the 10” square size. 

On this patchwork quilt, I’m rotating the rows between pink and blue. 

How cute is this?

Happy Quilting!!!! 

Repurpose Tissue Box

Repurpose Tissue Box

I decided to repurpose this tissue box into a storage container.

First, I used popsicle sticks glued completely around all 4 sides to add sturdiness. I painted it several colors before setting on the final color(s).  

Second, I used 2 pieces of jute rope braided and made handles for each side. Repeat for second side. 

Third, I added a cute “saying” with a glue backing to the center of one side. I then took 5 pieces of pink ribbon, zip tied the center, glued a button on top and then glued the whole piece over the saying. 

Last, I glued beaded rope beads around the bottom and top just to add a little bling to my project.

Everything for this project came from the Dollar Tree.

Happy Craftng…

Anaheim Ducks Hat

 Anaheim Ducks Hat


I had a request to make an Anaheim Ducks hockey hat with only using two of the primary colors. I used a 5.0mm hook, HDC crochet stitch and “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby.
