Rustic Diy Nest - Project for Spring or Summer

Hi Friends,

I'm so glad you stopped by. Today, I up to a new rustic diy .... Nest Building! I was surfing You-Tube and ran across several post of how-to.

I gather sticks, some coconut bark from one of my hanging baskets, a little grass and leaves from the yard and all-purpose glue.

Using aluminum foil for a form started layering the materials and let dry.

I really like how the nest turned out, I'll be adding the nest in my Spring and Summer décor. So please check back.

Until my next post, May God Bless You and Your Family.

Farmhouse Vintage Easter Vignettes Throughout My House

Hi Friends, 

I have been slowly making little Easter Vignettes throughout my house decorating for the month of April and for Easter! I hope you will enjoy see some of my collectables and also some old and new DIY's I have added to my April décor.

Here on my front door is the Spring - Easter wreath I made from  "The Dollar Tree: items.

This old window and shelf is right inside my front door.  I think it turned out nicely, the hanging bunny was a March thrift haul items,   a bunch of carrots I made with toilet paper rolls and orange yarn and the little nest is a diy this year.

this vignette is in my living room.  Just a few thrift finds I have collected over the years. My new addition is the little red wooden cart being pulled by a gray bunny I put a little cloth bunny in the cart with a couple of diy eggs. I just this arrangement in my living room. 

This shelf was given to me by my granddaughter, she used  part of a pallet and sanded and stained it.  I love this new added piece to my farmhouse décor. I added a few of my chicks and hen in their roost.

This little vignette has bunnies nesting in a Star Tobacco box and hip hopping around.  

Happy Spring!

Thank You for Stopping by.

DYI Spring Flag Banner

Spring Flag Banner Tutorial

Here is how I made a Flag Bannerto use on a couple of my old windows and the fireplace mantel.

I had the green checked sheet I have been using for a table cloth  but it needed hemmed up badly, so I use the extra length of the material to make my Spring Flag Banners. 

I also have some of the flour sack material I bought at Walmart several years ago to add to the banner.

The flag banners I made real similar to my winter flag banners.  I used green hot glue and hemp twine to attach the fabric pieces to make the spring flag banner.

This is the finished project, I made three, one for each of my old  windows.


I hope you enjoyed this turtorial

Thank you for stopping by !
and have a wonderful Day!

New Vintage looking Diy Easter Wreath for my Home

Easter Greetings

I found this very cute vintage looking greeting sign at Dollar Tree, this year and wanted to incorporated this sign into my farmhouse spring décor.

Using Dollar Tree burlap ribbon, I cut many 4-5 inch strips and tied the burlap strips with brown pipe cleaner to a circular wire wreath form.

Then I added a few strips of green mesh through out the form, also from Dollar Tree

Here I'm trying to fluff the burlap the finished project.

I really like how the vintage looking door wreath turned out.

Hope you enjoyed this easy diy to add to your Spring décor.

Thank you for stopping by and have a Great Day!

March Thrift Finds

March Thrift Store Haul

A big bag of plastic eggs, a small bag of little egg ornament to hang on a tree, a pewter bunny hook and in front is a small bag of  misc bunny tree ornaments.

Here I found glass 2 Avon trinket jar and one  egg shape candle or soap.  The 3 scallop cups not sure what the are, maybe Avon, but I'm going to use them as egg cups,  The little yellow chick is wooden and the little bunny is felt.

A few little bunny items, the two in the front are made of paper the bunny in blue is a puppet the little bunny pushing a wheel barrow is a gift tag..  The two little white bunnies are porcelain, then a real rare wool bunny with a wooden body, a mode podge or oiled fabric bunny  and two wax chick candles, one is in a blue enamel candle cup.

This little bunny pulling a cart is so adorable, I also picked up some seasonal cookie cutters and this green tin handled basket with a Flower and Bee accent.

Thanks for stopping by, and as always have a Great Day!

March 2017 is Here!

Time to get the March Decor Up

Green, green, green, the temperature is warming up but we still have snow, so it is very hard to think spring, but I have pulled out the Saint Patrick's Day decorate you can see I have few items.

I was doing some deep spring cleaning and founds some decoration that I made quiet a few years ago,  felt shamrocks pip berry eucalyptus stems green candle and a cardboard shamrock.  I'll see if I can incorporate some of the items into this year march decor.

 I'm not real happy with the mantel, it looks so plain.

I made this shamrock garland this year and added prints from old post cards with clothespins.  I searched the house for anything green, brass, and white to use as decor pieces on the mantel.

As you can see I incorporated the felt shamrocks on a stick in the white vase which is a new thrift find.  This banner is new with the green medallions, but can't get it to hang right.

Here are a few more of the felt shamrocks on a stick, This needs something

Here is one of the Styrofoam balls I mod podge with green tissues paper and I stuck in the King Edward cigar box and added a couple of old post cards.

I guess I'm not feel'in it this year.

I use some more felt shamrock on a stick some old post cards and a cardboard shamrock with one of the medallion I made in a earlier tutorial.

This is it for 2017.

Have a wonderful day!
