This is the second time that I have found a pig cutting board to use as a canvas for my painting. This one is slightly larger than the previous one and also has a cute curly tail. It cost 1.49 at the Goodwill, one of their weekly specials. Every Tuesday they feature a different color of tag and anything with that color is 1.49. I love Tuesdays! Instead of another block design, I decided to paint pansies only in colors that they don't naturally grow. I have mentioned my preference for things in black and white, but, red is a color that is next on my list of favorites. The flowers really jump out at you in this project. My next step is where to put her. Ah, decisions. Happy Creating!
Here is a quick cute project that is great for felt scraps. Take two pieces of felt, cut out U shape and then at the top cut a smaller U for ears. Cut out two random circles and a small triangle shape. Using a simple blanket stitch, attach the eyes and beak then add on the beads, sew the two sides together. I like to use a contrasting color of embroidery floss to make the stitches stand out more. Hot glue a magnet to the back and you have some adorable owls to hang out on your fridge. You don't need to go to the store to buy magnets, use the ones that come in the mail with all of those coupons that you never use or the ones that you have accumulated from friends and family that are attached to their business cards. I told you to look for more owls and I still have more owl ideas to come. Keep reading!
