Would you like to make something so adorable for your front door? Using felt cut the shape of the face out. Stitch it up leaving a hole in the back of the face and stuff. Add your eyes and mouth. Cut out the arms longer than they should be. Before you stitched them up stitched a piece of elastic onto the inside of the hand and then to the top of the arm. Make the elastic short enough to make the arms gather. Sew the arms to the back of the head and then attached to a grapevine wreath. You can add other items to your wreath. I added a painted wooden pumpkin

Fall items are showing up everywhere so I decided to get out my paints and do something for fall. I love using a cigar box to paint on. You can find them in yard sales or flea markets. I always like to use nice ones unless I want it worn. Here I sealed the box with just a clear brush on sealer. I did this because I am using acrylic paints. I chose black paint which would cover up some of the writing on the box. A Pumpkin sunflowers and a crow is perfect décor for fall and Halloween.
First add your flower heads and then add your pumpkin. This way you can place your stems and leaves right over your pumpkin. Lastly I added a crow.

Are you tired of looking at clear glass votive holders? You can change the color easily with glass paint. I painted these using a brown color paint.
Creating a look with style can be easily done without being an artist just by using one brush stroke in. Paint your votive holders the color you want then let the paint dry well. Now you can add a design. I just took metallic gold paint and added a brush stroke all around the votive.

I have mentioned a number of times that I love painting on glass. This glass jewelry case is lovely just alone but I just wanted to add an extra touch. Because the glass is craved with different shapes I just painted the top with a butterfly. Look how you can change a simple piece of glass into something elegant. This will make a perfect gift. I also added a touch of glitter to the wet paint.

Look what happens with just a touch of paint and a few embellishments. How did I turn out such a cute piece for a shabby chic look for your kitchen? I base coated the rolling pin white than added some flowers. Now here is what I did for the embellishments. By wrapping a string of craft beads around a pink ribbon I then tied the ribbon into bows and hot glued each end. Adding a rosette to each bow and a crochet doily to the bottom adds the romantic look.

This is a perfect time of the season to start painting adorable signs to place around your yard. You can purchase a piece of wood at your favorite craft store or just pick up an old piece of wood in your yard. I used a new piece of wood for this sign. If you want to have a sign to place outdoors you should be using outdoor paint. Of cause you can use craft paint and then seal it for the outdoor. Using outdoor paint is so much easily and often you will not have to even seal it before you paint it. Now let me tell you how I did this piece. First I painted the sign in a light blue. When it was dry I than added my top coat in white paint. Making sure I didn’t let the paint completely dry I took a wet cloth and wipe off places to show the blue. To finish it off I adding the letters painted a flower and a butterfly. While the butterfly and flower was still wet I sprinkle glitter. Now this would look good in any garden. But if you like shabby chic or cottage style this sign is perfect!

I enjoy painting items that can be used inside or out. These wooden Sandal hooks are a wonderful conversation piece. Hang them at your pool for your towels. I painted these with safe outdoor paints that will make them always look new. They are painted with three different colors. I added circles to each. Use your own imagination like adding bugs or flowers. Have fun decorating your home or your pool!
