Last bit of flowery fun for awhile

So, I know that prom season is over and I have been going overboard showing all the corsages I have made.  But, I promise...this is it.  My last showing for now.

Here is Meg's...I have known Meg since she was 5 years old.  Her Mom and I are buddies and when she asked me to make her corsage I was so excited.

And here is Nicole's...Meg's sister.  Just gorgeous!

Alrighty then...I am done with the the corsages for now.  Thanks for looking everyone.  And thank you so much to all the wonderful folks who hired me to make such a special piece of their child's prom memories.

CHARMED Hair Ties

How cute are these?  Super cute...huh?

Stretchy elastic tied at one end.  Ends are sealed so they won't fray.  A cute little charm is added.

Perfect gift for that sweet little girl in your life.

And the best part...they double as a bracelet.  How much cuter is this elastic around your wrist then one of those basic black ones?

They are up in my ETSY STORE now if you are interested.

Keeping Prom Season Alive

Are you sick of seeing these yet?  Hope not.  Here is another corsage created for a very sweet couple.

 Shimmery white with a hint of grey made up these beautiful blooms.  I accented the larger flowers with small chiffon flowers in a light coral.  All on a crystal bracelet.

Love how elegant this one turned out.  And wait till you see the dress below...just beautiful.

Here is the boutonniere (btw...I did fix that ribbon on the bottom before it was picked up)  Love how this turned out.

And the beautiful couple.

Prom Corsage in Coral and White

Sharing another corsage today.  Love how pretty this one came out.

I have added a keepsake box with each corsage so the lovely lady can keep it safe after the big day.

Each box is decorated to match the corsage.

Thanks for peeking everyone!

Dabbling in Furniture Refashioning

Yup...you read it correct.  I did a little dabbling in some furniture refashioning this week.  I got this old hope check from a friend of my mothers.  I thought it would be a fun project to try out some painting and glazing on.  I have painted some furniture before but never glazing.  I am thinking not bad for my first time.  Would love to know what you think.

Here is a before....

Here is the after...

My friend Patti West inspired me.  She has been painting furniture for some time now and every time I am on face book seeing her latest project I am in awwwwww.  I just had to give it a try.  Thanks Patti!

Here are some close ups....

I used a mustard color paint from Home Depot.  If you live in Shrewsbury and need some help go see Kay at HD.  She is fantastic!

I got my glaze from Sherwin Williams.  It is tinted with Van Dyke Brown.  I distressed the edges and top with sandpaper, a big old chain that Gregg took off the camper for me, and a hammer.  That part was really fun.

I used a spray matt finish for the top sealer, did not really work out so well, kind of blotchy.  But, I took some steelwool to it and it look pretty good after that.

So what do you think?
