Back at it!

I haven't posted on my blog for 3 years - wow!  finally got settled and now I am back at it!

I moved to a little town
my home is up in the Mountains
I am still making and selling my designs
I got a little both at a junk store
my customers from Tri Cities still buy stuff
made new friends in my small town
now I have more customers!
life is great!




I am on a Burlap Kick these last few weeks
this is the latest.....
little LOVE pillows with vintage fabric backing.


I love stenciling on burlap - it is sooooo easy

DIY
cut shape of design  - 1 of burlap, 1 of backing
using a stencil and stencil brush- paint design onto burlap
(I used a card board stencil I have had for a while
let paint dry - working on back of burlap - set paint with hot/dry iron
place burlap and backing right sides together sew sew around edge - leaving hole 6-7" at bottom
turn right side out - stuff with fiber fill - sew up hole
(for best restults, spot clean only)
enjoy!
