Sweet Nursery

I received an order for a crocheted rug for a little girl's nursery! I was excited because the main colors in the room were blue's, teal's and white and cream! It was different for a little girls room, and it sounded like a fun challenge! 


Here is the finished product, and then a close up of the colors.


The grand finale! The sweet Mom sent me some pictures of her finished nursery! HOW SWEET IS THIS?!?!  I LOVE how this turned out! And I REALLY LOVE getting pictures of my finished product in your homes! Thanks SOO much for these pics!

Hello there! I made this fun little "e" board with stuff that I had lying around the house. The only thing I had to pick up, was some nails!



I used my trusty cricut and cut out an e that would match my tags I put on my packages. Then I took three cork tiles that I had from another project and glued them together. I let them sit over night. (Had to be sure the glue was dry) The next day I painted them white with some white acrylic paint.
I gave it a good two coats to get the coverage that I wanted. I thought it would be cute to be the opposite of what I usually do with my tags.

Once that was dry I placed my cut out e in the middle of my board and centered it the best I could. Then I place the nails in key points around the e to keep if from moving while I outlined it with nails. They pushed in pretty easily and I placed them pretty close together. Here is a little progression!
When I had them all in place I gently started pulling the paper e out of the nails. As long as you're careful, its pretty easy! Then all I had to do was wrap embroidery floss like a crazy person I mean, with random craziness. :)
Here is a little action shot! Talk about multitalented! You try and hold the string tight and focus the camera and take a picture ALL at the same time.... Wait who am I kidding, it's not that hard. The camera has autofocus! :D Ok anyway, enough playing... Shall we have a drumroll? Or maybe not, here is the finished product!!
I Hund it wil the 3m hanging strips.... SUPER easy! I am thinking I need to add a border or frame.... What do you think?
