"Joy" Pallet Art

I am so excited for Christmas!! It is by far my most favorite holiday!! I feel so giddy and happy, and it also inspires me the most. The last two days while we anxiously await our closing date for our new home, I had the itch to create something. So I cut a piece off a pallet, sanded it down, and began painting. My inspiration for this obviously came from pinterest... haha. Once it dried, I distressed it using sandpaper and attached some final decorations. Voila!! A perfect beautiful piece to display in our new home!

Frozen Crochet Hats ~ Anna & Elsa

So for Halloween this year, I think it's obvious that most little girls wanted to be Elsa & Anna. This was no shocker with my two oldest girls. I had planned on making their entire costumes, but when I went to purchase the fabric I needed, I found premade dresses for half the cost of what it would have been to make them. So, that left me with the last thing to make, the hats/hair. I'm not very good at braiding, so this was the perfect alternative, not to mention perfect to keep their heads warm since we live in Alaska. So here are my two princesses ready for Halloween!!!

Koala Bear Hat

So I recently met this friend and while her family was at the Mitchell Raceway, her daughter Trinity won a brand new bike! Well, I guess they had just bought her a new bike like the month before, so when she found out my oldest daughter needed a bigger bike, her daughter made the selfless act of kindness to give it to her. It was seriously the sweetest thing, and I had to do something to show her how grateful I was!! So after talking with her mom, I found out she had a love for Koala bears. She used to have this very same hat but outgrew it. Yesterday I was able to finish it & tonight her mom surprised her with it. It brings such happiness and joy to my heart to see someone enjoy something I make for them.

Chicken Wire Frame

I've had this frame for almost two years, just sitting on top of a cabinet. Again, while surfing through pinterest, I saw an idea where they stapled chicken wire to a frame and attached pics & misc items as decor. I decided to do that with this frame. The chicken wire I purchased was silver, so I spray painted it brown so it would match my living room colors better. It was easy, and costed under $10, and I love it!!

Birch Bark Creation

Took a piece of birch bark, cut it down, carved a heart and our intials, and popped it in a frame! I love birch bark!!!

A Blank Canvas & A Little Paint

Decided to start painting again! For some reason, I always get the itch to paint during Fall and the first part of winter. These are my creations so far :)

Pallet Coffee Table

My husband and I took three pallets and made them into this beautiful coffee table for some very dear friends of ours. Needless to say, they loved it!!!! I'm also not going to lie, this was a pain to make, but happy that it came together so nicely!
