Spring Cleaning on the brain?


Well If you have been feeling the need to clean. 
 Maybe these will InSpiRe??

what you need:
1 pair of industrial gloves (dollar store)
some fabric
sewing thread etc...  
machine




I made up the pattern as I went. I think I measured the width of the gloves and just doubled it so I could have a ruffle. I also measured the height and folded it in half anywhere around 5 inches. Then I ironed.

I found a Tututorial here.  She did a cute pair.  Mine are a little different.

 I pinned it on in no exact way. (tried my best to get it even.)  I couldn't get the fabric to gather with a stitch because the fabric was too heavy.  Then I sewed it onto the gloves.

I gave these away at my Bunco last month. 
With some of my favorite cleaning supplies. 
Hope Emily liked them!

Now if I can find the time to make some for myself?
It only took me an hour or so...

I have been feeling a sense of urgency to organize my things, my kids things, my craft things, my paint things. etc.  But with organizing I know it will end up with me cleaning out things too.  Who wouldn't love to look girly and feminine while cleaning the toilet bowl?

:)

Happy SPring!

Spring Bliss

                                                     BEFORE

I just bought these over the weekend.  Rod WOrks (for the flower) and my ultimate Fave Hobby Lobby (for the wreath)

 they went from not so happy to......





BEFORE.........again

funny story. I didnt like the white coler I Painted on the wreath.  Do you ever have a picture in your head of what you think a PRoJect will look like and, well it doesnt turn out the way you think it will??

This happened to ME


Well I thought the white looked a little DRaB.  And well, I dont want that for MY POrch especially with the depressing Snow on the Ground.
 I wanna feel happy when I see it!

not DRAB

SO another Spray to the wreath (with Krylons, Ivy LEaf green) and......... TA DA!

lol!!!
 im a crazy lady I know!

                                       did I mention I love this color of Green?

                        Now I love it.................
                                       I can cross that one off my list :)


The Milk Can is painted with Chalk Board spray paint (it comes in spray paint form and brush on)  I got mine at Home Depot.

My Spring Bliss is patiently waiting for all the Snow to melt.  You see I live in Utah and over the past few days we got several inches of the white stuff. 

Luckily Today It was sunny and warm and the Snow began to melt away.  So I took full advantage of the temperature.  Got some painting done!  I am OOhhhh so close to having 2 dressers done for you to see!

Oh and I have New Jewelry to post this week in my shop!  I am in Spring Bliss. :)

Total cost....$6.99 flower and $7.50 wreath= 14.50 not bad for a Wreath that isnt THE typical wreath....




Did I mention My Good friend Carrie inspired me to do this?

She found a flower similar to this one last year and its on her front door too!
hope I inspired you to get your BliSS ON!
