Embroidery Hoop Wall Art

Sorry for the late post this evening!  I have two sick kiddos at home.  Isn't it just the luck that they are perfectly fine on Saturday morning as they are getting their school physicals and immunizations, and an hour after we get home they are stuffed up and have sore throats?!  Boo.

Here's a little project that is kind of a work in progress.  You saw my hand painted sign in my powder room. Well, the adjacent wall needed a little bling-- but on a budget. Using some remnant fabrics and embroidery hoops, I made a little collage of sorts and I just love the way it came out!

I found a few of the hoops at a local thrift shop for 25 cents apiece.  The others are from Hobby Lobby and Joann's.  Most of the fabrics are remnant pieces that I've found for 50% off around town.

I just stretched the fabric in each hoop and cut off the excess.  Super easy!

I'm going to keep searching for hoops at thrift stores as well as remnant fabric pieces or thrifted curtains/tablecloths/pillowcases/etc. within this color pallet that I can upcycle into additional pieces for this collection.

Do you love it, or do you love it?? :)

Dish Towels By Necessity

I was inspired today.  First by some cute shops on Strawberry Street in The Fan here in Richmond, and second by sheer necessity.  My new (to me) kitchen is, how do I put this nicely? Vintage-ish? None of my existing dish towels could come close to matching the fantabulous RED laminate counter tops and simply gorgeous forest green bath tile back splash.  So, I dug through my stash of fabrics and came up with this:

Just the thing to funkify my unique kitchen.

Bird and Owl Hair Bow Holders

In an attempt to organize my daughter's bathroom, I realized that she really needed somewhere to keep her extensive collection of hair bows.  She is totally into birds and owls, and I found this great tutorial which I tweaked to suit her needs and my on-hand materials.

Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! ~~Y
