Phew! It's been a long time since I've posted! I have a bunch of stuff to share, but I had to wait to do any of this because I got a great gift from my hubs this year for Christmas.....a complete craft room make-over. Paint, furniture, rug....everything! So instead of crafting the days away last week, I was sanding, patching, priming, painting, and assembling furniture. Not everything has arrived yet...still waiting on the corner table I picked out and the neat bulletin board I found on etsy, but when it's all done I'll definately post pics. It's pretty nifty :)So the first thing I tackled once my room was somewhat put back together was my entry for the guest designer slot over at My Favorite Things. The theme this month was paper piecing, and while I was painting I came up with the idea of making a set of paper dolls using some Pure Innocence stamps and creating a tin to put them in (inspired by the mini paint tin I unearthed while cleaning out the room to paint). I settled in on the My Balloon stamp, and then dug out some Basic Grey pads (Urban Prairie, Lemonade and Olivia to be exact) to create some paper pieced outfits for them. I then put velcro on the dolls and the back of the outfits so they can be changed and the dolls can be played with :) Everything went in the tin, which I decorated using the Notched Tag, Banner Day Alphabet, and Mini Rolled Rose dies. These little gals have 9 different outfits to choose from, and my niece, who will eventually end up with this, will love it for sure.
Thanks for stopping by!
