Prairie Scraps

 I got an orders at my first craft fair of the Christmas Season for these two t-shirts.  My customer loved them in other sizes, but I was trying not to carry too many extra shirts in stock.  I had opted not to carry many medium shirts, and of course, that was what I had orders for!   I love to make t-shirts!  They are so fast and easy to make.  Check out the Coffee one: They really make a nice gift for any time of the year! If you'd like to order one of my ready made t-shirts, check them out  HERE!   As always, your purchases help me create more pretty things and content, so I appreciate you checking it  out!

  This is a really large surface: 12"x18", but so easy to use!  Wow, do I love this one!  Being patient, and chalking a little at a time, peeling it in between sections, makes this one turn out just beautifully!  I even added a shape of the deer in the middle, to give it a pop out 3D effect! If you'd like to see how I made this one, check it out:  https://www.youtube.com/live/6k_vELlsoJY If you love this one, I've listed it on my new website:  For Sale

  Every year, I give my entire family an ornament that I've made.  Well, some years, I purchase them, but I usually try to make them.  It is so much fun to make a new design  each year.   I also try to make new designs for my craft shows to sell each year.  This year, I am joining in on the gingerbread trend. I took some pre cut ornaments from the craft store - Micheal's this round and painted them with camel chalk paste.  Then I used bright white to put the mini transfers on them. I think they turned out so cute - what do you think? Here's the video of them being made:  DIY Ornaments

  This was a fun and easy craft to make for a gift or decor item any time of the year.  I got this tray from Hobby Lobby on a 60% off for spring products a couple of years ago.  Do you buy things at full price at Hobby Lobby?   I try to get things that are only on Clearance or on sale. You could use any stencil/transfer for this that has a pattern.  I used greige chalk paste to go with it and keep it simple.  Here's the  How-to Video .  I'd love for you to go check it out.   Don't want to make it -  I've listed it on my new website for sale:  Wood Damask Tray

  These are some spoons from my craft stash!  I bought them at our local thrift store for $.75. I think I made a mistake and didn’t think this through. Dollar Tree sells new ones for $1.25 for 3. These were stained and possibly moldy. Maybe you’d throw them away, but being the hoarder I am, I’m going to fix them into something pretty!!  I painted them and made a cute decoration for the kitchen!  What a wonderful and quick gift idea - don’t you think? Pair them with the oven mitts we made yesterday!  Here’s the how-to video:  Thrifted Spoons How-to
