a plethora of crafting!

When I was home I did SO much crafting! It was absolutely lovely. I got the idea to do this first project from a sweet blog called Elm Street Life! I've wanted to do this for awhile... she has a great tutorial for how to make perfect letters on cute signs like this.

I just made it from a scrap piece of wood I found in the garage, I was so proud! I put it by this sweet photo of my grandparents during Thanksgiving... D'awww :)

Next I made this...

....from another piece of wood I found in my garage and scrapbooking paper that I mod-podged on there (and a doily!). Then I painted a clear finish over it to seal the deal. I am going to put cute little drawer pulls across the bottom and make it a hanger for scarves or purses!

then I made this!

I had this really cool art print from the 60's that I bought in Birmingham, and I wanted to do something cool with it that I could hang in my house!

A lot of trial and error with a canvas I found lying around, but I think it turned out pretty cute.

First I cut it to fit the canvas and wrapped it like a present....

here's a pic of the art print on the canvas..... and then on the right, I nailed two small nails onto the sides...

I connected the two nails with embroidery floss, added a sweet fabric heart, and used it as a sort of clothesline for some beautiful old pictures of my grandma and grandpa :)

I could totally make some "family tree" puns right now....

aren't they cute??

I had way too much fun with these! 

...can't I just major in crafting?
