Antique Door Headboard

Last February I purchased an old door at an antique store with a great fleur de lis handle. We recently bought a king size bed but didn't want to buy a new bed set. I had a carpenter add crown moulding to the top with a shelf cap. It came out so cute- we love it. We have a pine garland with white lights strewn across the top for the holidays that looks beautiful!

Sugar and Spice Aprons

We know a few sweet little girls having birthdays soon. Every time I'm in the fabric store I pick up remnants that I think are cute with no real plan for them. Turns out -they are the perfect size for aprons!

Advent with a twist

A friend spotted this in a catalog with a hefty price tag. We ordered little pails online and made our own. There are 25 pails to countdown until Christmas day! I suppose little treats and trinkets will make their way into the buckets very soon.

Polka Dot Ornaments

Every year I like to make ornaments for family, friends, and for sale. This year I'm making some sassy polka dot ornaments with the family name and year or child's name and year. I made a fun "drying rack" and Christmas tree using an upside down tomato stake. It might just stay out for the entire holiday season with a set of lights woven in!

Holiday Glassware and Charms

Our elementary school recently held an auction. I sent in some "Wild side" martini glasses and some simple polk dot wine glasses with light bulb wine charms. I made only one set of the light bulb charms last year and had wished I kept a set for fun. I'm cranking them out this holiday season and keeping one for me!

Stockings for 6

I've wanted new stockings the last couple of years. Now that our family is officially complete 6 were in order. I tried hitting the after Christmas sales but didn't have any luck finding 6 that matched. This year I decided to just make my own and then monogram them. They are all different but coordinating. I am going to make a matching tree skirt with the scraps next. When we get out the decorations I'll use our former skirt as a template...
