May Club Couture DIY - Sweet Lemon Grove

Receiving snail mail these days is a pretty amazing thing! It seems lost by the wayside. To receive an actual gift or package is even more exciting!! I love getting mail, I love getting gifts! I also love to craft - so this is the perfect mix: Club Couture! For just $19.95 each month, you can get a reusable transfer and three coordinating pastes in the mail to make any project you can dream of! So fun!

Here’s what the transfer looks like in it’s fun envelop. The things I used to make this project are:

Cutting board (found at a thrift sale for $1)
Club Couture Transfer - this one is the May, 2021 called Sweet Lemon Grove
Chalk Paste - I used Sage & Bumblebee
Chalk Couture scrapers
Chalk Couture round mini
Ribbon
Scissors
Baby wipes (for my messes)

I made a little video on how I made it - I would love for you to check it out:

This is such a fun and easy way to get a little crafting done each month! For under $21, I was able to make this fun little project, and that transfer can make at least 7-10 more projects! What a value for your money. Also, if you’re using those samples, I try to line up several things to chalk with those colors when I open them, because the samples will go a long way! (I was able to complete 5 projects with my last sample packet!)

Here’s that finished project - so easy! Please let me know what you think! Also, I do make a small amount from the ads on this page, and my small business at: www.chalkcouture.com/Dori. (Any you can join Club HERE!)

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully into the next few years! We agreed on

Burlap and Ticking

I found a queen size bed ruffle with a ticking ruffle on it. Immediately, I picked it up (for only $1!) at our local thrift store. I knew that I would combine it with my find of burlap bags. ( I picked up 200 of them for only $10! Yes, that's right, they were only $.05 each! I overindulged in them, and could take no less than 200 because of the price.) One of the problems with my new bags is that they are a little smaller than the printed ones that I have. I personally like really long table runners because I have a really big table, but I decided to get over my own feelings and make this runner as long as I could (the ruffle really helped, too). So here is the runner. I think the ticking and the burlap really look great together. I know how to make ruffles and have ticking, but for $1 I thought that this really was worth using from a different source! You could have it in the middle of a big table like above, or you could have the ruffle hang down the edge of the

Drop Cloth Couch Re-do

It's my 100th Post! What a great big reveal I have in store for you today! Three years ago, I found Miss Mustard Seeds' 6 part How to Make Slipcovers Series and started with watching the first video. I ran out to Home Depot and purchased two drop clothes, washed and bleached them to get ready for making the slipcovers for my two couches, and there they sat folded nicely in my craft room! A year ago, we moved across the country, so I packed those drop clothes up in a box, clearly marked them and put them on the truck. When we arrived, I put them in front of all my other boxes to do first. We even moved again over Christmas, and I moved that box again! Then, I did a pillow re-do, HERE that pushed me over the edge. I just had to tackle those slip covers! Before of the couch and the pillows that began the entire thing! I had a Saturday, where the guys were doing guy things and it was me and the girls home, so I watched all 6 videos! Yes, I did, from start to
