Crafty Tuesday

Yeah! I have a few possible joiners for our Snapshot Sunday! So now we know Sundays and Tuesdays, at the very least, you can count on something being up here.

Although this week, we are grasping a little bit in the crafty department again. I completed another set of Princesses for a birthday and am working on 2 more sets and…a boy version, so stay tuned for that.

I finally got the calendar back from the printer and mailed them the last week of December, so I think most people got them on January 2nd…not too late. If you would like, you can see the whole year by clicking on the cover below.

And Birdie #2 was kind enough to snap these photos of the signs I made (I totally forgot to snap photos of these before the handoff.) for her studio area, which by the way, when she gets her area straightened back up, I so need to go take photos of it. She turned her garage into the coolest crafting area, ever!

This has become our mantra since I found it on Pinterest many moons ago. We tell each other “We can do hard things” at least once a week.

And I just saw this, (I think on Pinterest too!) and loved it – so she got 2 signs.

I followed Young House Love‘s subway art tutorial, sort of.  J. cut the plywood for me and I painted it white; designed the signs in Illustrator and cut them out; used my distressing kit from back in my scrapbooking days to roughen the paper up a little; and then just modge-podged it on to the plywood. I think next time I might use the matte modge podge, since this has a little more shine than I’d like and not apply it so thick. But of course, last-minute Betty over here didn’t have time to go back and fix the glitches. Literally, I was wishing it dry so I could wrap it up to take it over to our New Year’s Party!

I’m actually off to the fabric store right now – I have some super capes to whip up and a totebag for Ad’s classroom. So I will have honest-to-goodness crafts for next week. See you then.
