Grey, Yellow and white

I love gray, yellow and white combined.

I love yellow anyway,

maybe that is why I am so addicted to it right now.

For mother's day we got my mom one of the awesome double wall starbucks tumblers.

But I also snuck away to her sewing machine to make her a mother's day flower.

She can clip it anywhere....(I love the double button)

Then when I got home I realized I was really jealous of her flower

so I made my own.

See similar, but different.

I already had a front door wreath planned.

And I had just enough fabric left over from the flowers to tackle it.

I braided the strips of fabric

and

then wove them in and out of the heart shape wreath I snagged at HL.

Then I made some rolled fabric roses,

tucked a button and a pearl in the big one for bling

I painted my "D" with yellow paint,

then painted just the top with Tim Holz crackle paint in white.

I loved the aged look of the D (even though the picture isn't very clear)

Here she is in her glory. I love the heart shape can be used clear into the spring.

And the white "D" just pops off the gray and yellow color.

Life's Attitude

After creating a canvas print for my mom

(and totally selfishly wanted to keep it for myself)

I knew I needed to create one for my spring mantel look.

As you can see I had a canvas blank and ready for creating.

It speaks:

Our Attitude Towards Life Determines Lifes Attitude Towards Us

Here are some close ups of the progress.

I started with Lime and Teal stripes.

Added some bright red flowers, gesso printing and polka dots.

Finished off with a loverly cracked paint

And pealed off the contact letters.

I

love

love

love

it!

And I love

that it is a constant reminder for my little family

to live our lives positively!

Zipper Flower

Taking a white zipper I put it into a bag and dyed it with Tattered Angels Glam. It gives the zipper flower a sort of dirty rustic look. I love gold and silver paired together and I needed a little zing to my evening clutch.
