Poor thing. I felt sorry for it, so I turned it into a DIY tutorial. If you've got some wall space to fill, here's a way to use transfer paper and paint pens to make your own decorative art. Paint some abstract stripes on your canvas with acrylic paint. No need to be too careful. Choose an image you'd like to reproduce, and size it for your canvas with a photocopier or printer. Cut a piece of graphic transfer paper to the size of your image. Then trace over your image with a pencil, being careful not to rest your hand heavily on the paper or you'll end up with unwanted graphite smudges.
Trace over the transferred lines with a permanent paint marker. If the paint marker lines look too shiny to you when you're finished, give your painting a coat of clear acrylic gel medium to even out the shine difference between the matte acrylic paint and the shiny marker.

As much as I fantasized doing everything and blogging about everything in my head, all my craft tools were disappearing into cartons, ready to be moved at a super fast speed! So the result of the wooden picture frames will have to wait a bit. Still, I managed to squeeze in one last project before we left. This one's for a friend in Atlanta who was keen on buying 'Nesting with my Mum'. Here is also where I get to mention some very sweet and encouraging friends and family, who have nudged me on with my business endeavors by buying my products and saying, 'it's not because you're my friend, it's because I really liked it'. Nesting with my Mum was a result of all the time I was spending with my daughter. Tete a tete is bringing the whole jing bang in on a twig. I just love the result and how the natural sculpture of the twig adds beauty and also has a mobile quality to it.
Two new pillows « tidytipsy.photography. I can’t seem to move on from the sunny circles…I guess frayed-edged circles and me aren’t done yet!
This time on my favourite purple Ikea fabric (don’t go looking for it in the fabric section…it’s a bedsheet that I cut apart). And this one isn’t technically new, since I made it for a friend and she received it some time ago but I haven’t shown it on here yet. The fabric is a bright red jersey, so no finishing edges, yay! Make It and Love It: Decorate My Home, Part 25 : 3D Butterfly Wall Display. Once again, more toddler room decor.
I’ve been trying to get the room done…….so only a couple more things to share.And for this time, I have a quick little 3D butterfly display to share. All from scraps from home.

Especially to the space above this bed, that was shouting at me to fill it up. Want to make your own? Then I pounded picture frame hangers into the back of the wood. Then I sketched out a butterfly shape and cut it out. And then I cut out 10 butterflies… On one side of one of the butterflies, I placed a good amount of hot glue…… Starburst mirror.

Brown Paper Flooring Technique!! White Felt Flower Wall Art by DashingEtc. Vintage Revivals. T-shirt latch hook rug tutorial. I really love flokati rugs. I have two that are safely tucked away in my parents basement awaiting our reunion. When I learned that I would be having a child and building a nursery for him, I wanted a flokati. A gray one. Being a flokati snob though, I knew that I couldn’t afford the price tag ( ), and I knew that I would be too precious about the rug ( ).
