It's Stinkin' Cute Craft Thursday #65

Ok, so as my girly girl pointed out... maybe I was a little tipsy... but I was really tired too. Hope that I get sleep one of these days, because last night wasn't good either. I think it is just how hot it is lately. Even though we have it set at 75 it just isn't cold enough, which is wierd since I am always cold. Anyways, feature time...

I LOVE these pinwheels by Ashley my girly girl over at Cute as a Fox! I most likely will be doing them for Laci's Wonka party next year!


Ms. Lindsay over at Diary of a Crafty Lady made some super cute camera strap covers. My hubby would probably shoot me if I did one like that, but I think I could get him to support a Cheer Athletics style one that is blue black and white... I may have to try soon, because they are really nice!


I am about to start my own Halloween quilt so I was excited to get not one but two super cute quilts linked up this week.

First one is Grace's quilt by PA Country Crafts... it has pinwheels and is just adorable! I love the colors. Lindsay you did a wonderful job!


Next is this beautiful Modern Chic Wedding Quilt from Just Sew Sassy. Staci you must post a tutorial on how you did this. It is just simply beautiful!

Halloween Fabrics for a Quilt

What do you think of the fabrics I picked out to make a Halloween quilt?





I love them all and can't wait to start cutting and putting this together. I will have to upload a picture of the design I am looking to do. It is REALLY simple, but I think it will be perfect for these fabrics!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Crackle Paint Name Board

I am so excited to share this with you... so when Jake was out of town two weeks ago I wanted a craft project to keep me occupied. I knew exactly what I wanted to do... So I grabbed a board I had found, went to Lowes and grabbed soem Valspar Weathered Crackle Paint, the two colors I wanted, and a top coat... then went home and got to work. The process is explained here. Basically though you have to use flat paint, or it won't work.

So once I got the black dried (this was my base coat), then I put on the Weathered Crackle Paint (Middle), then once that was dried I put the white on-top... it is like magic as it starts working before you can start painting your surface, so work quick!

After the board part was done and the top coat applied it looked like this...


Then I used my SCAL program and cut vinyl out of my last name in all caps, est. 2003, and some scrolls to put on the sides. I LOVE how this turned out!

I know the picture is blurry... sorry, the upload for this one picture was blurry and I didn't have a chance to take another one.






So what do you think? I personally think it is a keeper, and am REALLY thinking about doing this as gifts for people for Christmas this year. The cool thing is that if I make them now I can practically do it for free because I already have the paint and vinyl... just need wood. :o) It was so much fun to see the end result.

Hope you are having a great day!
