My rustic (and completely homemade!) Christmas tree...

Lots of twine, jute, ribbon, glitter, beads and burlap. Recycled ornaments, sweaters, toilet paper tubes, and scrabble games. And stuff collected from nature....pine cones and acorns!

Pallet Wood - Fruit of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law.  One of my favorite verses and the first one that I memorized.  

I have been using tons and tone of pallet wood making a rustic ceiling in my kitchen.  With some of he left over scraps, I came up with this idea...... Pretty happy with the way it came out. 

Winter Themed Centerpiece

Sweater sleeves cut off and used to line candle votive jars, a snow globe scene, a slice of birch wood, some local pine cones, a white platter,  and a bronzed bird tealight holder .   Platter and bird found at thrift store and sweaters found in our old clothes closet.

Love Birds in a Jar

Paint Your Own Jeans!

I love the adorable printed jeans that are really popular with the tweens right now.  My daughter really wanted a pair and because she already had a closet full of jeans, we decided to be crafty and created a pair using what we already had.  A little fabric paint, a heart shape stencil made fro a piece of plastic.... and she was very happy with the results!
