Riley has letters for her bedroom too!

Several years ago, actually before Samantha was born, I painted Samantha's initials for her bedroom.  It's only right that I also do it for Riley's bedroom! They make great keepsakes!  I spent much longer getting these done unfortunately!  Riley, I hope you grow to like these!

Finished Product!  The designs on the letters match Riley's room decor!

New project!

I found this craft on Pinterest!  It's a yarn wreath!  I've got one completed, and have started another!

This step took a lot of time! Some people have used straw wreaths.  I wonder if that takes less yarn or if it doesn't require as much attention to neatness?  I may have to try that!  Plus, I think it'll give it more volume!

Cute!

Riley's footprint tile!

Riley has her footprint tile!  I painted one for her sister, Samantha, when she was the same age!  Well, it actually took me longer to finish Samantha's, but I did take her footprints at the same age! :)  I think it's a great keepsake!  The design matches her bedroom!

Sketch!

 Design done!

 Lettering done!

Splattering done!

 The finished piece!

Mirror Project

I got this mirror from my sister's old dresser set!  She wasn't going to use it, so I decided I would try and

 re-stain it!  Now this was at least 3 years ago!  I finally started sanding it yesterday!  The first photo is what it looked like before.  An off white color.  The second photo is the beginning of the sanding.  I would have taken the glass out, but it's pretty secured in there! Stay tuned for further pictures!

Wedding Platter!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Litton!  What a beautiful wedding and reception!

I got the design from Sarah's bridal shower invitation.  It's a washed background of lighter yellows to darker yellows.  The polka dots are washed as well.  The blue ribbon came out pretty good.  I'm glad it didn't come out darker.  I didn't want it to stand out much more then this.  I believe you can click on the picture for a closer look!

Happy Wedding!

It's been a while since I've done writing like this! I'm so glad it came out! The flowers were done in a wash of pink and the lettering in dark brown. Congratulations Epi and Samantha on your upcoming wedding day! May there be many cherished memories to come!

Birthday plate!

Flowers done with the wash technique! I added detail with puffy paints!
