Totally Tute-ular Tuesday!

I've decided to bring some order to my blog
with a few "regular" weekly posts.
Tuesdays' posts will be Totally Tute-ular!

I made this door hanger for an expectant mother.


This tutorial will be short and sweet!
I used the fake photo insert in the frame as the
template to cut the background page from
scrapbook paper.


I cut the letters and shapes 
using a cricut.
You can easily find letters,
stickers, etc for this at craft stores.


I used a hot glue gun to attach a ribbon
hanger to the back and a few extra streamers.


And a jewelry ring to add a little extra "charm".


Shhhh...baby sleeping.

Craft Room Re-Do

My craft room had gotten so out of control
with piles and bags of stuff everywhere.
I could hardly tell what I had
much less be creative with it.
I didn't take before pictures. LOL!
Honestly, I jumped right in and didn't
think about it but I'm not certain that
I would have shared! ;)


It is still a work in progress.
I had the table in between the two
bookcases on the wall to the right.
I moved the table under the window
and pushed the bookcases together.
It seems to look more open this way.




Now what to do with the rest???

Before & After-Deck

Saturday was such a gorgeous day in NC
and I found myself without plans or obligations.
What better to do than pressure washing,
reorganizing and replanting the deck?
It will be so nice to come home after work
and relax outdoors in the evenings.

Here is the deck Before:


It's been a long, hard winter.




And here is the deck After:












And a future project...
I found this iron wall decoration for $30
at Tuesday Morning.
What a perfect piece for a coffee table!


Stay tuned.
I have a unique table leg idea in mind,
but yet to see if it will work!
