Painted area rug

Remeber in my last post I said that something was missing?? 

Donna, you guessed it! it needs something on the floor, so I painted an area rug.

Use FROG tape, to mark off the area you want to paint, and begin with the first color.

Once dry, tape again with the next design, I went simple here, not enough time to go too crazy!

Now paint with the next color.

I remove the tape before it dries, no risk of having the paint peel up! 

Now I have a neat little area rug! The great thing about this one is I just have to sweep it to keep it clean!

Much better!! 

Now here are a few more pictures before I open tomorrow.

Here is the check out counter that my wonderful hubby built for me. The top is an old wood door, and the sides and front is from the crib my boys slept in! 

Now lets hope for a nice 2 days, no rain! 

I wish you all could come to my sale, but I know that is not possible, so stay tuned here Saturday night! 

I am finally going to update my ETSY site, there will be lots of gooides for you to choose from! 

Shop sneak Peak

Hope to see you at the sale! I open Friday at 9!!!!

Contact paper stencils

I made an amazing discovery today. Did you know that you can make your own stencils with your cricut using contact paper?? Why it took me this long to figure out, I have no idea, but at least now I know! Much cheaper than using the vinyl for the cricut or spraying your paper to make it sticky! 

Here is one of my fabulous treasures, I do not have a before picture, and it was in good shape, but boy did it smell. Not sure what it was used for...

So I brought it home, sprayed it down, applied some wood bleach to the entire thing and let dry. Then I stained it with my new favorite color, Jackobean! 

It is going to be a display piece in my shop and at craft sales. It is built from 3 old ammunition boxes, and is very sturdy. Now time to stencil! 

I used my cricut and the base camp cartridge. I cut the word simplify, and applied the cut out from the letters, not the letters themselves. Make sure to press it on really well.

Now it is time for the paint. I used a stipple brush and acrylic paints.

I remove the stencil as soon as I am done painting, no need to wait for it to dry.

Now my only question is, do the other 2 boxes need something on them as well?? 

What do you think?

Treasure Hunt

I have been out treasure hunting. 

I have been getting up early and seeking out bargans, and there are lots to be found! 

Washboards anyone? 

Look at this beauty!!! I was so excited to find this one! This will be a perfect display in my little shop! 

A dream, an Idea & a dumpster

Shed= Lots of junk stored inside, not the stuff you fix up for fun, but the crap you don't want to deal with so you throw it in there and close the door. 

Close it, QUICK! 

Then comes along a dream, an idea, and a dumpster. 

I love to be crafty and make all kinds of stuff. I have been in a few craft shows, I have even held a sale or two in my home. A shop of my own would be great, but never really thought I could do it. 

I have a great friend who just made her dream a reality this spring and built a beautiful new shop to have her sales in. She asked me if I would like to be a part of this months "shop hop" her and a bunch of other super talented ladies in the area are having an August shop hop, and I just couldn't justify tearing my house apart & disrupting my family for 3 days, so I had to say no, as much as I would have loved to join in the fun.

And then one day it came to me, the light bulb came on big and bright.

We ordered the dumpster, and within a couple of days we turned the crap shed into my future shop! 

My hubby added a window, one from the side of the road. Then he sprayed the entire inside white, using leftover paint and primer from the house. 

I kept telling him that I was not going to spend money on this project! 

So I was digging through the left overs from our old house, and found the perfect piece of railing, and an old plank from the kids old play set.

A few red accents, and the outside is all set! 

So far I have soent nothing!!! 

The little Green Bean will be open for business August 20 & 21 9-5

Stay tuned for sneak peaks inside as I get it ready! 

My shop will consist mainly of my handmade bags, totes, wood crafts, burlap goodies, and some other fun one of a kind items!!!
