Front Porch Make-Over

The front porch needed a little fixing up. I sewed a little fabric banner for my old window. I vinyled this sign, “Love where you Live.”
This rustic sign used to be black – I painted it blue. It had a star cut out and I covered it with a spray-painted frame. In the frame is fabric and a fabric bird silhouette. I love how it turned out!

The milk can is actually a family heirloom. It was from my Great-Grandfather’s farm! I vinyled our street address on it.
I bought this chair at a garage sale for $2. It was brown before. Not anymore! Aqua spray paint to the rescue! I sewed a little pillow to match out of Amy Butler fabric.

This is how the table used to look – then I spray painted it Heirloom white and now it looks so much happier!
This was a plain walmart special ceramic pot. Now it is darling cherry red with our initial on it!! Love it!


I had this owl and I love him. But he was a little drab.

Now he is noticeable!! I think I am addicted to spray paint!

Christmas Stockings


Every year someone in the family needs a new stocking. This year my new niece baby Hallie and my Nana who is 92! Of course I left it to December to start making them – I have got to be better about getting things done in the summer! I didn’t even get very good pictures of them because it was midnight when I finished them, wrapped them, and checked them off my list!

They are pieced, appliqued, quilted, stitched with soft fur – they are quite the process!

Nana was so thrilled at her stocking. She said it was her very first stocking. Imagine getting your first stocking at 92 years old. I love Nana!

Jedi Costumes


This was the most intense Halloween yet! The children are so into Star Wars and they were very demanding on how the costumes should be. I searched the Internet and read how everyone constructed Jedi robes. It came down to laying the person on the fabric and cutting around their body! No tutorial here – you just have to go for it!!!
Marbles also got his own Jedi Robe. I love sewing things like that minutes before we have to go trick or treating!

I also made them matching treat bags with their names. I cut the image and letters out of vinyl then used it as a stencil and painted the bag.

Taylor Swift Concert T-Shirts

We love Taylor Swift! And you can’t show up to a concert with just any old shirt on! We needed matching shirts that said “Speak Now”. And you can’t just slap some puffy paint on them when you can applique with cute fabric! And so we did. I cut up some old T-shirts and made little flowers in the pink and orange for the shoulders.
The back of the shirt I cut a stencil on the Cricut out of vinyl. I found an image for Taylor’s signature and the date of the concert! I painted it in craft paint.Why make 1 shirt when you can make 5! It was fun to be all matching.

We had such good seats and these were pictures I took on my camera – my niece even touched Taylor! It was the best concert ever! People kept asking us where we got our shirts! Good job Jedi Craft Girl!!

Halloween Sewing & Quilting

I sewed up a few new things for Halloween. I love this fabric with the fun orange mixed with turquoise and black – so yummy!



The pillows were so fun to make – just sew some random strips and add a ruffle or flower!
