Before & After

I have been working like crazy on boutique items {see previous post} and during this time, I have been going through my own home decor to liven it up.  I have had this sign (it says: Laundry drop your drawers here)

hanging in my laundry room for awhile now, but it has been bugging me that the lighter vinyl just blends in with the stain.  And, I didn't want to repaint it because I love the rustic look.  So, as I was looking through blogs, I came across this post and thought -doh!! Why didn't I think of that?!?  Anywho, this is the result.  I really like it. I think that I may be doing more of this masking technique in the future.

Love is in the air!

I had so much fun making these cute blocks for Valentine's Day. I hope they put you in a loving mood too!! My favorite is the brown with pink and white vinyl that says "hugs & kisses".


All of these were part of my first batch of consignment items at Farnsworth Farms in Sandy.

busy, busy, busy

As you can tell by the title, I have been busy these past couple of weeks. First off, I am on the Relief Society committee and I have been put in charge of the Craft Group. Just to let you know, the Relief Society is the woman's organization in my church. I have been working on the craft for the end of October. There has been a request for home decor and Christmas items. So, I combined them. I also added some Thanksgiving in there for good measure. I couldn't narrow it down, so I am offering 6 different designs. I revealed them the last Sunday of September and they are already a big hit. Several women have signed up to make them.





Then, the following week, I was part of a boutique in Farmington. The home was full of products from amazingly creative women. Some of my favorites included:
Emmie Cakes
Cutsie Cakes
Flutterby Designs
Vintage Fern or here
Individual Rivalry
Nadia's Place
It's The Little Things or here
Button Boutique
It looks like I listed everyone that was there, but that was maybe HALF of the amazing women who took part in this boutique.
