My little ponies

Corn husk wreath

Swedish rug

Our white IKEA rug has been abused this past year. In order to give it a longer life, I have been trying to find a pattern I could live with. I just taped and painted and now I have my very own version of the Helmi Brita plastic rug: Swedish Rug

Pajaki for Uncle Maggie

This took me almost a year to complete. I used crayon shavings melted between two layers of wax paper. I tried to avoid it with other  pom-type ends, but decided to make polish stars to hang from my short lines. Hope she likes it!

Marble Fence

After breaking my elbow in the fall, I've had some problems getting stuff done. My doctor says I should be hammering again someday, but thanks to Ryan, I realized my newest project! I found a photo of this online and had to give it a go! Seems like we did this on the wrong side since the sun doesn't really shine through the way it did on the inspiration fence.    http://decorhacks.com/2011/10/fence-marbles-awesome/

Christmas projects

Foyer

For Easter, Nana & Grandad wanted to give us a new floor for the dining room. However, we decided to use the floors for the foyer. We are systematically removing all traces of carpet in the house! With some help from Terry, Ryan put in slate tile and I painted the walls and trim. Now instead of two armoires and a ton of books (relocated to closet in playroom with the filing cabinet), Ryan has a little home office and I have somewhere to stash my crafts. It would be nice to fit a sleeper sofa in there too though. I see a visit to IKEA in my future.
