I always love a short work week! I had a fantastic long weekend. I got some fun Valentine's projects started and also played with some mixed media for Art to the 5th's "Documented Life Project 2015". It's a mixed media journaling project. Last year, I joined but silently (and probably creepily!) watched rather than participated. This year I decided to jump in and participate, which has really put me out of my artistic comfort zone and pushed me to try and learn lots of new techniques. I'm LOVING it! I plan on sharing some of my journal pages later. Anywho, yesterday Hubs and I went on a road trip to the beautiful Park City Utah and had a wonderful day. I love weekends where I get to be creative, make cute things and get some quality family time in!<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing the votive holder that Hubs and I made for family for Christmas gifts. It was super easy and I just adore how it turned out:<br />
<br />

We used 4x4's, sized and drilled the holes for the votive's then sanded, painted, and stained the wood. Added the cute twine wrap, candles and burlap flower. That's it! So stinking easy!<br />

One of my latest crafties is this wood snowman candle holder: <br />

<br />
I had Hubs cut me a piece of 4x4 and a nose. We drilled a hole deep and wide enough for the candle to fit nicely into and then I painted and sanded him and then we attached the nose and scarf. So easy!<br />

We love, love, love making things and try really hard to come up with a product that is well done and that everyone will love as much as we do.<br />
<br />
Last year we made these Joy blocks:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcSJMeb09hKJQGxnNlzymP7qWq5ldf-3Nr7C4S_IKPMv06LwS84kfYDn3RDl-WGK8WFxbm8m_hALrxRl-bRYF8z9feMJuHhMz_SjJu_hbBIIe9VCA7PRoo3sXVDeb_pvnoyZjmJPn8z3U/s1600/joy+wood+block+chrismtams+gift+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcSJMeb09hKJQGxnNlzymP7qWq5ldf-3Nr7C4S_IKPMv06LwS84kfYDn3RDl-WGK8WFxbm8m_hALrxRl-bRYF8z9feMJuHhMz_SjJu_hbBIIe9VCA7PRoo3sXVDeb_pvnoyZjmJPn8z3U/s1600/joy+wood+block+chrismtams+gift+1.jpg" height="320" width="268" /></a></div>
We used 2x6 blocks, Mod Podged scrapbook paper on, then added the 3x3 thin wood squares for the center. We purchased the cute vinyl "Joy" pattern from the Silhouette website. To finish them off, we couldn't find any pre-made toppers that we loved, so we just made our own using burlap, berries, pine cones, tree garland and leaves:<br />
<br />

I hope you had as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as I did! I can't believe how quickly 2014 has gone by. I definitely haven't blogged nearly as much as I had planned, but it's okay because as I've looked back at my pictures from the last 11 months, I can honestly say that this year has been fantastic. My arm issues and surgery were not at all fun and although it prevented me from crafting and blogging, I was still able to make some incredible memories with my family and see some beautiful parts of our country. Soooo, hopefully 2015 can be about balance and blogging more!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I've done a little bit of crafting and needed something "Christmasy" for my porch. This is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgkxo5I24Mf6HUXAQTPwnNhY4Rn07p43CvjIX1_2GI0twZWJuXYSaLbB7rj-TxSuD2QY6h3d8lU0acReSYFRVNZLPbTsTjRt17r3tlfHSeMEBU6AtLLEh2OwAB72_S7rwaKXBUVV_PuTc/s1600/Thanksgiving_0083_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgkxo5I24Mf6HUXAQTPwnNhY4Rn07p43CvjIX1_2GI0twZWJuXYSaLbB7rj-TxSuD2QY6h3d8lU0acReSYFRVNZLPbTsTjRt17r3tlfHSeMEBU6AtLLEh2OwAB72_S7rwaKXBUVV_PuTc/s1600/Thanksgiving_0083_edited-1.jpg" height="320" width="152" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It stands about 4 feet tall. The best part about it is that I made it reversible, so when Christmas is over, I can just turn it around, add a hat and scarf and I will have this for my winter porch:<br />

I found them at <br />Walmart for a dollar or so each. They are about 5x5 in size. I decided to doodle on them with Sharpie's. This is what I came up with:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The nice thing about Sharpie art on ceramic, is that if you make a mistake, you can just wipe it off with rubbing alcohol! I drew the outlines of my designs with a fine black sharpie first, then colored them and then re-outlined them with the sharpie again. Once I had everything done, I put them in an unheated oven and then set the temperature to 350 degrees and baked them for 40 minutes.<br />

I think it is fun to add a little "holiday" into our meals. I always do a Halloween themed dinner for the actual holiday, but it's also fun to do it throughout the entire month. I make lots of yummy stuff out of pumpkin, but drinks are another easy way to add some of that holiday fun into dinnertime.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I made two big pots of stroganoff, one with beef for my family of carnivores, and one vegetarian friendly mushroom for me. I also made the family's favorite pumpkin cake for dessert but thought it would be fun to add a fun drink to the menu. I decided on "Bloody Eyeball Juice":<br />
The ingredients:<br />

To make, just add ice, an eyeball (make sure to wash them first!), Sprite and as much grenadine as you want to make it "bloody":<br />

I'm so happy!!! I've been dealing with some pretty nasty nerve damage in my dominant arm since last Spring. By about June, it got so bad that it took everything I had just to get through the day, so I had to stop doing pretty much anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. I had surgery in August and the recovery has been less than fun. I'm still not operating at 100%, but I'm tired of not being able to do the things that I love. I didn't realize how big of a part of my life crafting and being able to express my creativity in that way is. It truly makes me happy, and when I can't do it, I get depressed. I hope that I never have to go through another "craft-less" time in my life again!<br />
<br />
Sooo anyhoodle, my first project back on the "job" was this Halloween trio for my porch. My fabulous hubby cut me this wood:<br />

By now, everyone knows that one of my favorite things to do is make fun crafts out of 2x4's. I try and do it for every season/holiday. Here are a few "bugs" that I came up with to decorate my hutch for summer:<br />
<br />

Awhile back I decided to make a Spring block set with a chick on it and as I was looking at it, I decided to make the best use of the wood and add a Summer theme on the back of the blocks. The Spring side:<br />

I ask hubs to cut wood for and assemble four wooden planter boxes. As always he did a fabulous job! Once they were all assembled, we painted, sanded, and antiqued them and then added drawer handles. For a final touch, we cut each person's last name out in vinyl on the Silhouette and put them on the front of each box. Finally, we put flowers in and filled them with Spanish moss. I love, love, love the way they turned out!<br />

They make darling mini pallets, so I got to thinking that they could also make a pretty cute and easy DIY frame. I had the perfect project that needed to be framed anyways!

I painted the wood shims white and then Mod Podged matching strips of paper to the front. I glued them all together and attached the bunny art:<br />

Old wooden signs are definitely big right now. I have some old pallets that had some really nice weathered wood so I broke them down and decided to make a sign for my Spring porch. Here is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpnh35IofK1uYfeqezTxpw0cHujGCCY3Hm6i168NPEvPwpDhw5cQ1S_TbTV_X3f_Ihl3K6UiONzNc0QzHqcdGVNDuU1Eg7tqn5I8AnlGYw2YMHNP2or7XFEOhXF8eaWXJX56fDY9oicA/s1600/Old+board+Welcome+Spring+Sign+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpnh35IofK1uYfeqezTxpw0cHujGCCY3Hm6i168NPEvPwpDhw5cQ1S_TbTV_X3f_Ihl3K6UiONzNc0QzHqcdGVNDuU1Eg7tqn5I8AnlGYw2YMHNP2or7XFEOhXF8eaWXJX56fDY9oicA/s1600/Old+board+Welcome+Spring+Sign+1.jpg" height="297" width="320" /></a></div>
I cut the boards at two different lengths and then attached them so that they were uneven on one edge. I cut the flowers and lettering off using my Silhouette Cameo and then used them as stencils. I love the pink and orange!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was so easy and looks so cute on my porch!<br />

One of my New Year's resolutions is to make a wreath/door hanger for every month/holiday (so far, I've kept up!) so I was cruising around Hobby Lobby the other day trying to decide what to do for my Easter Wreath. I already have my cute plastic Easter Egg wreath found <a href="http://mamascraftyplace.blogspot.com/2012/04/easter-egg-wreath.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> but I really have wanted something with a bunny theme. So here are the supplies that I bought:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakWq5ltEa8v_ODN7_81xzUFy8PHkCPyYgvaUW_bh6fLEtsvMw06VeIFEnM3ACG4c2KvukqBzMI4RRbeg-Q-8TxOOewW5DVCiHyJMlkuK0t__LJ4wa_djdKsE3UknvwFqupdN5k-OqVPM/s1600/bunny+wreath+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakWq5ltEa8v_ODN7_81xzUFy8PHkCPyYgvaUW_bh6fLEtsvMw06VeIFEnM3ACG4c2KvukqBzMI4RRbeg-Q-8TxOOewW5DVCiHyJMlkuK0t__LJ4wa_djdKsE3UknvwFqupdN5k-OqVPM/s1600/bunny+wreath+1.jpg" height="183" width="320" /></a></div>
And this is what I made. Seriously one of the easiest wreaths ever:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6Q_l4yLZhn5FBHy9NUCigKwIJzJiPCrJxA3f2dZqZor7xMx0CG-_4UoHijRBcUt9Mv_bzuG6sP_zaBf1Q1d9IxRmeCGevi8T8liQ6bNHBEYKULfPJ9n8ed45hpwDlWuWe22AqiMnLt4/s1600/bunny+wreath+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6Q_l4yLZhn5FBHy9NUCigKwIJzJiPCrJxA3f2dZqZor7xMx0CG-_4UoHijRBcUt9Mv_bzuG6sP_zaBf1Q1d9IxRmeCGevi8T8liQ6bNHBEYKULfPJ9n8ed45hpwDlWuWe22AqiMnLt4/s1600/bunny+wreath+2.jpg" height="320" width="193" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Supplies Needed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 foam wreaths, one larger than the other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bow tie (or material to make your own)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yarn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ribbon (I used 1 1/2 Spools of white satin)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bunny ears head band</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thick craft wire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hot glue/hot glue gun or straight pins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To Make:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wrap your ribbon around each wreath. You can either secure the ends with hot glue, or a pin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To attach the body wreath to the head wreath, I cut about a 2 inch piece of thick craft wire and stuck half of it in the bigger wreath, hot glued the top of the wreath and then stuck the rest of the wire in the smaller wreath and held until the glue dried (I stuck the wire in between the ribbon so that I didn't have to put a hold in it.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make your pom poms from the yarn (a good tutorial can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTTDVryeFbY" target="_blank">HERE</a> by Creature Comforts Blog) and tie them at varies lengths from the bunnies "neck", then attach the bow tie around it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I put the bunny headband around the bunnies "head" and attached it with straight pins underneath the headband so that they couldn't be seen (You could do this with hot glue.).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's it! Your done! How cute is he on my door?</div>

I feel like I didn't get to make all of the cute decorations that I had planned on! I guess there is always next year right? Here are a few quick and easy ones that I did make this year:<br />
<br />
1- Lucky Sign with Horseshoe "U":<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssU1XKkNNINROWHbxGqBdCExxcpJiTGk1Fe9tc49Rch8PAPrNmfIZIPbqko3CjYNsxlJeVfdLT7yw2TArvGuMsWArYknhsWffeYVcboAGkYrQAgdixVGr5FVNCxSAf7eTsMC57IsjR0E/s1600/Lucky+horseshoe+door+hanger+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssU1XKkNNINROWHbxGqBdCExxcpJiTGk1Fe9tc49Rch8PAPrNmfIZIPbqko3CjYNsxlJeVfdLT7yw2TArvGuMsWArYknhsWffeYVcboAGkYrQAgdixVGr5FVNCxSAf7eTsMC57IsjR0E/s1600/Lucky+horseshoe+door+hanger+1.jpg" height="228" width="320" /></a></div>
This was so easy to make. I used an old board, cut my LCKY stencil out using my Silhouette Cameo, painted it, nailed the horse shoe "U" in with real horse shoe nails and added the hanger:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWnK0R5J0S8M5LBujw4eC9usxjYQwiZ84YfLJDM6x5-pNJiFmYAFKbQtmTz8BW1gO-CGUii34fR3FPCdtbJKhblmeGmuCF7e7yRd37lpeLh4-ZPhBZn45AOeTK-i5JdCoRuWDj4urzeY/s1600/Lucky+Horseshoe+U+doorhanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWnK0R5J0S8M5LBujw4eC9usxjYQwiZ84YfLJDM6x5-pNJiFmYAFKbQtmTz8BW1gO-CGUii34fR3FPCdtbJKhblmeGmuCF7e7yRd37lpeLh4-ZPhBZn45AOeTK-i5JdCoRuWDj4urzeY/s1600/Lucky+Horseshoe+U+doorhanger.jpg" height="158" width="320" /></a></div>
2- Shamrock and Burlap Door Hanger:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ruR4gIX6JzCTgvh4gPiWcEz2PnOJFvwEp9hgyZ5HZYxk2mJVGxLs1WkoHw5ngcDELLYiXa1CGyk8Y97KMR4m-UewGhOG4GWYSHb9jNqpNQwoVCBUe3tGNSXsblWDaUxFpnnOZIVpsOY/s1600/Shamrock+burlap+clover+door+hanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ruR4gIX6JzCTgvh4gPiWcEz2PnOJFvwEp9hgyZ5HZYxk2mJVGxLs1WkoHw5ngcDELLYiXa1CGyk8Y97KMR4m-UewGhOG4GWYSHb9jNqpNQwoVCBUe3tGNSXsblWDaUxFpnnOZIVpsOY/s1600/Shamrock+burlap+clover+door+hanger.jpg" height="320" width="303" /></a></div>
I actually bought the wood for this at the Wood Connections store in SLC a couple of months ago, so it was super easy to just paint, sand, nail together and attach the bow and little shamrocks.<br />
<br />
3- Easy Leprechaun Clay Pot Hat:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YEyWkTtuqWnqn8ZYGDuB6jDN9mslmFDprlmlRdIgbedM2W108vZYOalHLEuPqQH-IaLcxQ4LB9lhozbHJomN4i_Auy2DRa4VtVcT2r8_hqWOiHIP1hu7vgyliKY3HVUPd4wHwX_uNzs/s1600/Leprechaun+ceramic+pot+hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YEyWkTtuqWnqn8ZYGDuB6jDN9mslmFDprlmlRdIgbedM2W108vZYOalHLEuPqQH-IaLcxQ4LB9lhozbHJomN4i_Auy2DRa4VtVcT2r8_hqWOiHIP1hu7vgyliKY3HVUPd4wHwX_uNzs/s1600/Leprechaun+ceramic+pot+hat.jpg" height="171" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This idea has been around for awhile, I just hadn't ever gotten around to making one. It seriously took 15 minutes. So easy!<br />
<br />
4- Hand stitched Clover Trio:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuZmBodVRcPAoocUN-NWTg-li-VVs53Rw-U4U_H8UCyeQzdcBrst5dpJoT6Mt_zU3AJNrR5kBDfmRQOsmm8_Ik4mDA8nIWzn1C24fXCqNrFvChlEUPtknrkIEeBiundqYhsF6Z3_xVmM/s1600/Handstitched+Clover+applique.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuZmBodVRcPAoocUN-NWTg-li-VVs53Rw-U4U_H8UCyeQzdcBrst5dpJoT6Mt_zU3AJNrR5kBDfmRQOsmm8_Ik4mDA8nIWzn1C24fXCqNrFvChlEUPtknrkIEeBiundqYhsF6Z3_xVmM/s1600/Handstitched+Clover+applique.jpg" /></a></div>
Anyone that knows me, knows that sewing is not my strong point, nor is it something that I have ever loved to do, so if I can make this anyone can! I just cut the clovers out of material using a cardboard template and then stitched them to a thick canvas type material with embroidery floss and then framed it.<br />
<br />
I also have to add a picture of 2014's March Hutch all decked out in greens:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqkXvlNml8kxk5C4BAiNyiTx3IHru4oIOcDqzenOsSqIX_hHcw2je74zmDei1W1E1NxfYw6X8GVh-uGMrkusXZv5WkcfKnTI-tyTIsZTzdtX4przMaWfN0qT8Qy33I4h0BI4m_wD_OAs/s1600/March+2014+Hutch+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqkXvlNml8kxk5C4BAiNyiTx3IHru4oIOcDqzenOsSqIX_hHcw2je74zmDei1W1E1NxfYw6X8GVh-uGMrkusXZv5WkcfKnTI-tyTIsZTzdtX4przMaWfN0qT8Qy33I4h0BI4m_wD_OAs/s1600/March+2014+Hutch+1.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>

I love decorating with all of the green and the shamrocks, it makes me so happy :)<br />
<br />
I was bored the other day, so I looked around my craft room and gathered up a few supplies; a canvas, some material, embroidery thread, burlap, buttons, paint and scrabble tiles. Here is what I came up with:<br />

Instead of making a full square, I decided to make a horizontal sign using only 3 shims. This is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7AYkIemwkVUvHrXXZ0enw3LdfefJKpZ6XOV903rx0f8J3SMTHZoH92bo-zY9OZUvkHSZeaujY_Bjm3c2ICGz4NJHdvLdRQTGszELDIkVi6uT3p-YHzZg1FqtvdSETqe-IDJN9pFDalzA/s1600/Lucky+Mini+Pallet+sign+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7AYkIemwkVUvHrXXZ0enw3LdfefJKpZ6XOV903rx0f8J3SMTHZoH92bo-zY9OZUvkHSZeaujY_Bjm3c2ICGz4NJHdvLdRQTGszELDIkVi6uT3p-YHzZg1FqtvdSETqe-IDJN9pFDalzA/s1600/Lucky+Mini+Pallet+sign+2.jpg" height="194" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I used wood glue to glue the shims together and then also glued a large Popsicle stick on the back to hold it together. I created a stencil for the L, C, K and Y using my Silhouette and then cut out the gold U.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I painted it green and then filled in the letters and sanded everything down and placed the gold U. I painted and sanded the clover, added the burlap and button and glued it on:<br />

I just used a $1 heart frame that I got at Michael's, painted the outside edge and inside of the heart then, covered it with scrapbook paper. I used glitter paper on the inside heart, glued the scrabble tiles and embellishments on, inked and sanded around all of the edges and ta-da! Done :)<br />

I needed a new door hanger for my winter porch and I think he is perfect!<br />
