Irish Art

My friend Karen made one of these. The minute I saw it, I knew I had to do one too. I just love how it turned out.



And another copy of hers. Her version is a lot cuter, but I just used what I had on hand...so this is as good as it's gonna get. Pretty cute still...

Green Garlands

I made this lucky banner last year. I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes through the coins. I love it!

This sweet garland is from my friend Natalie's pattern. You can find the pattern/instructions HERE. I was able to just use scraps I had layin' around. Those are the best projects. One thing I did do different from her instructions...I top stitched each scallop after I turned them around, so they would lay flatter. I like the look a lot better.

So I made two. One for my mantle and one to hang with my pictures.

Framed Art and Printables

Such an easy, cheap way to spruce up your decorations. I LOVE it. First off my shamrock specimen art. What would really make it look great is a cream frame. Until then...

Glitter silhouettes. So sweet.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this printable. Found HERE.
And of course one of these. Found HERE.
Top pictures found HERE.
Bottom pictures, I seriously can't find again! Sorry...

Re purposed for St. Patrick's Day

Project 2: Take an old Christmas decoration..and turn it into something cute.

I took apart the WHOLE thing. Re glued weak areas..saved the panes of glass that weren't painted, filled in the lettering so it was a smooth surface, painted the whole thing black. Glued the plain glass back in, and re strung the pieces together. At that point it looked SO SO cute but still plain. So I took three shamrocks I made from this tutorial, and put it all together.
The cream tulle was an inspiration from my friend. It finished it quite nicely. I love it!

A table runner for St. Patrick's Day

My husband is SO OVER the pink, glitter, love...and is VERY ready for a change. I just loved all my Valentine decor..but it was a bit girly. Hopefully the green will help erase the memories. My first project. A cute seersucker table runner.

I had a little extra fabric, and thought it would be cute to add a little embellishment to each end. And ruffles will never let you down!
In the center; shamrocks, gold and a sweet candle.


So far, I think we're good....

Finished bags

We finished the cute Valentine Bags for my friend's daughters. Here's how they turned out...

For my girls

For my girls this year I wanted to make them pajamas. They turned out okay. But I literally didn't have the time to do anything else. It's amazing these got done in time for our mini vacation.

My older daughter is always putting my shirts on. This particular shirt I never wore. So I took it in, added some hearts and a cute aplique. And now it's her nightgown.
Pretty simple, pretty cute.
My youngest daughter got pants and a shirt. I took an old pair of my jammie pants. (That I got for Valentines Day YEARS ago.) And turned them into jammie pants for her. Added four layers of ruffles...which looks A LOT cuter on. And paired it with a wal-mart shirt. I added the cute hearts..and Viola. Valentine jammies for my girls.
