Repurposed glass door with vinyl

I know this is a terrible photo of my project, but I am so excited to post it.  I couldn't wait until I got a picture frame bracket for the back.   When we threw out our old entertainment center last year (an appreciated hand me down for 10 years), I made sure we held on to this door.  I wanted to do a vinyl project with it.  Alas, it took me about a year to finally make the time for it.  Anyway, this is one of my favorite scriptures.  I used my Cricut and the following cartridges: Cindy Loo, Inspired Heart and Lyrical Letters.  The vinyl I used was a roll I purchased off of Amazon.  It is a repositionable adhesive backed black. It was quite cheap ($11.97 for 20 ft.)  Now, I just have to remember to get the bracket when I go to the store!

Hope you have a wonderful day!-Dari

Mother's Day/Stash Buster Crochet

Wow!  We have been so busy lately.  It seems like yesterday that I posted, and yet I know it wasn't yesterday.  We have been gathering bids to build our house.  I finished school with my kids. We bought a new refrigerator.  We are trying to get the garden in and do some yard work.  Oh, and of course, the never ending mommy tasks of cooking, cleaning, and laundry!  I have not had a lot of time for crafting as you may have guessed.  That's OK (I think?).  There is a season for everything.

I never posted my Mother's Day gifts I did and thought I would share those.

I really liked the way they turned out.  I know our mothers appreciated them.  They also know that I am a practical person and so they got a practical gift.  The crochet Swiffer pattern is my own.  You can reference my post about the crochet Swiffer cloth for the pattern. stamped two lunch bag sized brown paper bags with ink to coordinate with my homemade cards, folded the top over and punched two holes into the bag.  Then, I just threaded a ribbon through and tied it.  Very easy and cute.
