Text of the page (random words):
she is my sister she is my sister adventures in creativity sunday september 4 2011 coffee filter flowers and all things pinteresting i have a new addiction and i know that i am not alone pinterest has captured my heart and consumed more than a reasonable shhhhh don t tell my husband amount of time from my days if you are familiar with pinterest then you may or may not share my infatuation if not you need to get on the pin train with the rest of us any who a while back we hosted a family reunion at my house it was a beautiful day full of homemade ice cream and me avoiding having to play bingo or any other sort of organized activity for that matter and because i have ocd and i like to make stuff i started preparing for this little party months in advance buntings and tissue paper poufs and coffee filter flowers lots and lots of coffee filter flowers i quite literally dyed 2 200 coffee filters no lie it was time consuming and oddly soothing and a little messy here is a photo of the scene of the craft you can see dyed and dried filters on the right cut filters in the middle and also the assembled ones obviously and truth be told i hadn t thought too much about my garden of filters until tonight when a certain pinner who repinned a pin i had pinned peaked my interest it was none other than the great and talented aunt peaches who just happened to be the very blogger who inspired my coffee filter flower extravaganza i felt like a celebrity for a micro second which is an unfortunate side effect of living in a very rural area another one is thinking that a trip to the grocery store counts as a social outing thank you peaches for making my day posted by debra at 8 47 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday august 25 2011 one year later how does one start up with a blog again after absolutely no posts for an entire year i don t know but here we go so much and nothing really happened in the last year i blinked my eyes and my son graduated from kindergarten last may and started the first grade yesterday my daughter is now walking and my husband and i celebrated our 11 year anniversary we still live in a little town on the prairie i still go to the gas station across the street nearly every day to have some sort of social interaction outside of the house since we moved to a tiny town in the the sticks where we do not know anyone speaking to other living breathing adults face to face seems almost luxurious but that will all change in the coming year as we are building a house in my home town next summer i am very excited very anxious and completely obsessed with every tiny detail so for the past few months i have been quietly scouring home decor blogs and magazines getting ideas trying to pin down my style looking back at some of my old posts is kind of funny chiavari chairs really i did not end up buying those don t worry every time i see them on a movie in a magazine at a wedding i kind of cringe at the thought that i told the whole world that i wanted them for my dining room table i will soon have some updates about some of the other furniture makeovers that i have done and what i have learned in the past year like when it is ok to use latex when painting furniture and when it absolutely is not and why so if anyone is out there reading this thank you i can t promise that i will be posting often but i will try not to go a year between posts again posted by debra at 9 45 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday august 27 2010 happy friday just a little post to wish everyone a great weekend here is some eye candy to keep us all inspired anthropologie this is always the time of year when i start obsessing over fall and winter clothes it is hotter than blazes in my little corner of the world right now but there are many weeks in winter when the temperature plummets to 40 degrees that is right forty degrees below zero ouch but i have a feeling this lovely little number would keep jack frost away anthropologie that sweater is lovely but i really need to stay in the clearance section at anthroplogie i spied this little frock there it would be perfect for my ice cream social themed family reunion that we will be hosting at our house next summer eat drink chic eat drink chic posted the most beautiful free downloads for a d i y ice cream parlour buffet they are the inspiration for my party swoon amazon com i recently ordered anna maria horner s handmade beginnings and am very impatiently waiting for it to arrive very impatiently grrr i have also been searching for the perfect fabric for new curtains for our living room and have had no luck i really would like it to have blues aquas and maybe even a shot of pink perhaps i am being too picky any suggestions i would love to hear your opinion have a great weekend posted by debra at 4 08 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 24 2010 coloring on fabric my mother was quite crafty and because her mother was very frugal most of the crafty things that i remember doing as a child made use of things that we already had or could find in nature we would sandwich crayon scrapings between two pieces of waxed paper and make stained glass we would make etchings of leaves on paper with crayons my mother had the most beautiful flower gardens in the summer and i remember folding flowers in waxed paper and pressing them in the pages of heavy books about a week later mom would carefully take them out and seal them into the paper with an iron simple pleasures i may be older now but i am still a kid at heart i love to color i love coloring books and coloring pages after i finished printing out my monogram yesterday i decided that it needed some color and here is how i did it you will need fabric crayons plain old crayons iron and ironing board 2 sheets of paper let s get started first color your fabric duh right i like to layer my colors just have fun with it now that i have finished coloring i am going set the color with some heat as you all know crayons are made of wax and wax melts so when you apply heat the color will kind of melt into the fabric this is where the two sheets of paper come in you are going to want to put a piece of paper under your fabric to protect your ironing board and one on top of your fabric to keep the crayon wax off of your iron note to self turn off the flash when taking close ups lovely i am not done yet but the rest will have to wait for another post have a great night posted by debra at 5 16 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels crafty fabric tutorial monday august 23 2010 more stuff that i ve made a friend asked me to post more of the things that i have made so here you go this is a whole cloth quilt made with amy butler fabric i sent it away to be quilted but i cut and sewed the binding myself not too shabby not too shabby at all here are a couple of tea towels that i embroidered they are a gift for a friend but i have yet to mail them woopsie oopsie naughty kitty and snooty poodle doesn t she just look full of mischief naughty very very naughty now would you just look at this pampered pooch quite snooty i say with that nose up in the air both embroidery patterns are from jenny hart s stitch it kit i love you jenny hart now what have you made lately i am dying to see please please leave a comment with a link posted by debra at 6 59 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels crafty embroidery fabric sewing wasting time how to print anything onto fabric today i am going to show you how to prepare a piece of fabric to run through a regular old inkjet printer this is not a new technique but it is so very handy for many different types of crafty goodness here is what you will need fabric solid light colored works best freezer paper found in wax paper aisle iron and ironing board printer printer paper computer pen ruler scissors let s get started first iron your fabric you will need a piece that is just a bit larger than your printer paper once your fabric is ironed cut a piece of freezer paper just larger than your fabric place the freezer paper over the fabric and run a warm dry iron over it you may have to play with the temp a bit the idea is to get the freezer paper to stick to your fabric now take a piece of printer paper and lie it on top of the freezer paper that you have bonded to your fabric use your ruler to make sure you have straight edges and trace the printer paper onto the freezer paper as so then cut it to the size of the printer paper now for the fun part choose an image to print a picture clip art anything really just make sure to respect copyrighted work i found a beautiful wreath border and speaking of copyrighted work i can not remember where i found it if you recognize it please tell me where it came from so i can credit the artist and link back to their blog i have been wanting to make a monogram for a long time so i uploaded the wreath to picnik and added an s to the center i also played with the color a bit anyway when you are ready to print simply place your freezer paper bonded fabric fabric side up into your printer start printing and voila perfectly printed right onto the fabric now peel it off the freezer paper and embroider embellish or do whatever you would like with it have a fantastic day posted by debra at 9 00 am 11 comments email this blogthis
