I've been pondering more Projector projects since I still have my mom's Projector.  I did this project literally in about 40 minutes, and that included set up and clean up.  I still haven't hung them up yet.  I need some more pieces to complete the wall art but here's a quick project that turned out beautiful!

All you need is some burlap, a board, a staple gun and some sharpie markers.

 Cut the burlap to be about 2 inches larger on each side of the board so you can wrap it.

 I started with the centers and stapled the burlap down, folding under the raw edge.
Continue working around the edges pulling the burlap tight and stapling in place.  I had to use my hammer to help the staples lay flush to the board.

For the corners, I cut the burlap diagonally as shown to get rid of some of the bulk so the corner would fold properly and lay flat.

 Here's a close-up of the corner.
 Next I set up my projector and board.  I used a step stool to keep the board upright.  I had to add some extra boards underneath my burlap one to make sure the height was right for the image from the projector.
Adjust the location and focus of the image to fit your burlap.
Get out your sharpies and start tracing.

I merged two images I got from The Grapic's Fairy in Photoshop.  I loved the French Chocolate word art plus the clock face.  I plan to use the same image on a side table in the near future.


Here's the image before tracing.


And finished.  I'll definitely post them when I have them hung.

My friend was getting rid of a lot of furniture and she gave me a stool for free! I knew I could redo and use it in some way. It has been sitting in our garage for months because life has been so crazy, but I finally decided its time to complete the project.


Before...


The top cushion was not attached so I threw it away and started from scratch. I primed the stool and then painted.
I then started the put the top of the stool together. I found a small piece of wood at Home Depot, I placed the foam on top and then the fabric. Once everything was stapled, I attached the decorative nails around the border of the cushion. The final step was to nail the cushion to the stool.

After... 



The total cost of this project was around $20.
Thanks for stopping by I hope you enjoy!

We are hosting a Cute as a Button themed baby shower on a budget in a few weeks.  I decided to do one game for the shower that does not require everyone to participate all at once. We are having ladies, husbands and kids at this shower, so not everyone will be able to play along simultaneously. 

I modified this activity from a great one at While Wearing Heels where she created a calendar to guess the date the baby will be born.

I added our theme to the activity by asking the guest to stick a button to the date where they are guessing the date "on the button".  They would then write their name next to their button as well. Here is the set up:


Since our baby shower is on a budget I used leftover buttons from a few other projects I've created for the shower and leftover scrapbook paper.  Then I created calendars for two months because she is due closer to the beginning of November, and you never know she could be early.  I just printed off some simple calendars from Word. I put some buttons for people to stick on in a small flower pot.  Then created the little sign along with it.

Thanks for checking this project out. The winner will get a gift of button candy once the baby is born.  Since everyone lives close by they will get to the winner quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Imagine my shock to find a few spots in the mushroom bed to have given fruit. The Captain did not water the bed while I was away for 2 weeks back in May. I thought for sure it was a bust. Once I returned, between Lil man & I, we would give it a good soak once a week, refusing to give up so easily. Our determination paid off... a little bit.


This last weekend, we discovered 3 clusters like the above. Lil Man has kept a watchful eye on this bed, in hopes of eating his first home grown mushroom. He & I will be adding a fresh layer of straw & more wood chips for transferring some of the spawn, our fresh clusters have given. Hopefully, we will have more abundance next Spring. I do believe we will place more rocks in the beds being all the clusters showed up around the edges, leaving the open mass bare.
The garden has been rather abundant in Paste tomatoes which has had me canning when I have a whole day to spend in the kitchen. Of course Lil Man can not stand the smell of the fresh pure paste tomatoes cooking down on the stove but that all changes once I add the herbs & tons of garlic. He loves my canned sauce.
School starts this week so I go back to an empty daytime house. On one hand I will miss them, on the other? Well I look forward to the quiet days.
It's almost Honey harvest time so I best get a move on locating that extractor and another hive for expanding our our Bee yard. Panda's friends are requesting their presence when I do the whole process. Kinda makes me laugh how they are so intrigued with all we do. Not so much the garden, but the rest? They Beg to be involved. Who am I to turn down some extra helping hands.

Sweet Dreams,
~~Tammie

Last week I mentioned that I am currently working on a laundry room update.   And as I also mentioned, in all honesty, I don't actually have a laundry room - it's really a laundry closet.  But I spend a  great deal of time using my laundry area.  And right now, let's just say that it's less than inspiring.  So I decided to do something about that.  And today I wanted to share with you all, the

I completed this project way before our family talked about having a blog but I thought I'd share now. This project is easy, fun, inexpensive and a great way to add wall art to an emtpy space. I had an empty wall in my dining room that was screaming for wall art. One day Chris and I walked into Papersource and I instantly was thinking how I could use paper for a project. I chose a few different sheets of decorative paper and frames that were on sale at Michaels.

Next comes the fun and creative part: I used different sheets of paper and made my own design.

 I bought a small canvas and wrapped the paper around this one.
 I used ribbon for this one to create a border around the smaller square.



Thanks for stopping by!
