Halloween brings out the crafty in me. I love anything with skulls and monsters. I created this green Ogre-like monster wall hanging using felt mostly. It is hanging on my front door, greeting guests with a sweet and scary welcome. For more Halloween click HERE.
I had these little wooden churches rolling around in a box for the last few years, waiting to become a part of something and it finally hit me. I used Tulip® Fashion Graffiti Cannon Fabric Paint in Neon Pink because I love the glow it gives to anything you use it on. I painted each of the houses then cut paper to serve as the roof lines or eves of the houses. I painted a wooden lid green and little picket fences white. The bunny is a vintage cake decoration I had on hand and the ‘eggs’ are candy jelly beans.
I was inspired by Martha Stewart’s Bell Jar Keepsake and I thought I would use it as a model to create an Easter bell jar decor project to display. This turned out so well I think it is safe to say it will be up all spring. I have had the bell jar around for year. The nest, plastic eggs, bird and butterfly all came from various craft stores. I also used a Tulip ® Fashion Graffiti Big Phat Fabric Marker to color the bird and the butterfly florescent pink, where they were white before.
We wanted to bake for Saint Patrick’s Day and the short one was asking about the history of Leprechauns and after sharing with her she said “oh so they are sort of like fairies then?” Yes, I guess they sort of are. So for Saint Patrick’s Day we made a green fairy cake. You can’t see the actual fairies, only their clothes because you know they are invisible after all and the idea is to try to catch them.
