I heart this

This was today's project. I stole the idea...no I am not this creative. I took a piece of canvas and appliqued the flowers and leaves. I then used embroidery floss for the stems and writing. To finish it up, I stapled the canvas to the frame. Super easy! I really like the way it turned out. I had all the supplies on hand except for the frame which I picked up a while back for $6 at an antique store. I would love to paint the frame so the piece stands out a bit, but I did not have that item so it will have to wait.

This was my $8 project I alluded to in a previous post. I always looked at this wall behind the dining table and felt something was missing. So, I bought a 6 foot piece of wood for about $2 and three shelf brackets. I painted the shelf, screwed on the brackets and fixed it to the wall. Voila! An instant change that I really love! I had everything you see on the shelf already. Nice.
