"MY SOUL IS FED" Sewing box makeover for Mothers day.

 Good Morning My BEAUTIES!

I hope you all had a GORGEOUS weekend.

We celebrated Mothers day this weekend and 

I couldn't have asked for a more GORGEOUS day.

I honestly can't remember the last time we had this 

beautiful of a day on mothers day..or in the last 9 months in general.:)

Seeing as this past weekend was mothers day and I am always at a loss as to 

what to give my mother I was so happy when I found this!

 If you can believe it..I was out THRIFTING.....:)

SHOCKING I know...when I happened upon this sewing box.

My mother is a gifted seamstress..Even making my sisters wedding dress.

I on the other hand...can only sew on a button 

or darn a sock...and who are we kidding...who darns socks anymore..:)???

My Momma has many sewing machines and old hat boxes and things filled with all her finery

but I was sure she didn't have one of these.

I did what any good daughter would do and called her and asked

her....she said she didn't; so I grabbed it and brought it home.

 Since she knew what she was getting I figured I should at least

personalize it a little bit.

So I headed to my SILHOUETTE 

I picked out my graphic and had it start cutting my vinyl

 I thought this was a pretty fun graphic 

and perfect for the top of her sewing box.

 Once the vinyl was cut I used clear transfer tape to transfer the image to the top of the box.

Here you can see me placing it where I want the graphic to go.

when I am ready I pull off the backing and get to transferring.

 You can see here the transfer tap on top of the vinyl.

 I use my little scraper to rub over the top and slowly pull of the transfer tape..

Leaving the graphic on the top.

I was thrilled with how it turned out.

I even felt like a little kid again, making my momma 

something for mothers day..

Hopefully she likes this a lot better than that macaroni necklace 

I made her last year....:)  (kidding..it was more than a couple years ago) 

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover.

Now go and make someones day BEAUTIFUL.

"whiskey in a Tea Cup" vinyl on window

Good Morning my Beauties! Sorry to leave you hanging for so long with
no post. The summer days just seem to slip through my fingers.
I left Saturday for my sisters a couple hours away for a fundraiser for
my nephew, that we lost this spring and while I was there
we worked on some furniture pieces of hers that
had been handed down to her from my Mom.  So posting
and blogging kind of slipped away for a few days.

I will be editing like crazy tomorrow so I can show you one of the pieces we did, but for now I
will show you something I was able to knock out RIGHT BEFORE..(like minutes) before we walked out the door on Saturday.

My girlfriend Shelly from Shizzle designs awarded me some
of these awesome marine windows she had laying around for running an errand for her..:)
I knew I wanted to put some vinyls on them and just the day before I had seen a quote that
fit my personality pretty well and it stuck in my head.
So I got out my silhouette and created my vinyl using different fonts
for each of the words.

 

and here you have it...
"She's Whiskey in a Tea cup"
It is originally a lyric by Tom Waits. I love it because of the meaning. A woman can be lady like and feminine and may be considered weak, but inside she is strong.
I hope you enjoyed it!  
If I could ask you a favor..I told you before I was entered in a contest and its nearing the end of the first round of voting.
If you could CLICK on the LINK below and just LIKE my French Armoire that would
be AWESOME~!
 On the Town Makeover Challenge
It would mean the world to me!

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Laundry bin Revamp

Good MONDAY morning my Beauties!!
That's right..its Monday and I don't know how I feel about that yet..
Kids only have school 3 days this week (they just went back last week......what's up
with that????)
So I have to get everything I NEED to get done in 3 days instead of 5...
I normally can't even get it done in 5...UGH!
One of the things that always needs to be done is...YOU GUESSED IT.......
Laundry...So I thought..why not make it fun.

I was playing with my Silhouette and decided just to print out the word LAUNDRY...(after
I spell checked it because it seems to be one of those words that looks funny when you spell and think...that can't be right..LOL)

Then I grabbed this old beverage bucket tote thing that I had bought at goodwill..it was just plain...

I stuck the vinyl to it and...

Voila.....There you have it...all done..and adds just a little bit of fun to
a not so fun task!!!
Hope you enjoyed!
