Loving my Emroidery Hoop Art

I have been in love with the embroidery hoops I have seen on blogs & pinterest for a while now. I began collecting the hoops at garage sales & thrift stores with no problem. Finding the perfect fabric to put in the hoops was a nother story....but here they are & they are growing on me!!

I love about half of them. I figured I would just put them up and as I find more fabric I do love I could switch out the ones I don't love.

This wall has been blank since we got our new sheetrock over a year ago, so it is a nice change.

The bottom right hoop is a white linen that I added some vintage buttons to. I desperately wanted them hanging on the wall by the end of the day so had to make do with what I had :)

All in all this was a very easy project. Also, very inexpensive wall art!!

DIY SCHOOL THEMED ATTIRE

We just LOVE to show our school spirit when we go to any sporting events for our children. The only problem is....the darn sweatshirts & hoodies are soooo expensive!! They sell them for 20 & $25 a piece and for our family of 4 to all have one each season just seems a bit ridiculous. Sometimes being frugal leads me to some great ideas :)

This was a plain sweatshirt from the thrift store for $1. I made this for my 8 year old boy. It has our last name across the back.

And for my daughter who's a cheerleader. $5 sweats from walmart & fabric paint. I used my Cricut to make a stencil for each word.

I am thrilled with the way they turned out & with the price :)

Pumpkins

I am all about traditions and one of my favorites is carving pumpkins with the kids around Halloween. It seems like up until a certain age, mom & dad are having most of the fun doing the actual carving, so we mix it up a little bit & let them use sharpie markers sometimes intead!!





Get out the markers & let them go wild!!

Fabulous Dresser Redo

A friend of mine found this fabulous dresser at the dump for me. I had plans to paint it and sell it....well, I have this problem....everything I bring home I fall in LOVE with :) Anyways, it sat in my garage for a while & my sweet husband decided to get busy painting it for me on his day off. WONDERFUL!! Thanks hubby :) The only bad part is I hadn't gotten a BEFORE picture. Just imagine an very ugly yellow & gold 70's looking dresser. So without further delay:

Isn't it beautiful!?!

Fancy legs

So many drawers to fill!! Kept the original hardware & painted it Oil Rubbed Bronze

It gives her room a more grown up feel...since she is 12 & is trying to convince me that she IS in fact, growing up!!

**UPDATE** I found this photo on the internet & it is what the dresser looked like BEFORE.
