    Hi everyone! A few years ago, I found some Christmas themed fabric available at Walmart. At that time, I wanted to make a Christmas quilt but didn’t try to collect fabric on it. I liked the Christmas themed fabric from Walmart, so I purchased my favorites and some coordinating fabrics from Walmart’s normal fabric line.

    Hi everyone! It’s the holiday season and you can see it everywhere, especially in decorations. If you are like me and love glitter on Christmas decorations, you probably know how hard it is to clean up loose glitter from those decorations. For many years, I experimented with different ways of making glitter say on something. Although my attempts have kept the glitter on the object, they seemed to dull the shine of the glitter. Last year, I decided to try something new and, much to my surprise, it worked! Since I liked how it worked so much, I decided to share it this holiday season!

    Hi everyone! Well, it’s almost Christmas and I’ve been pretty busy. Even though I’ve been busy, I was able to finish the sign! As of this publishing of this post, it is currently hanging up in my house as part of my Christmas decor. Since it is in use, I decided to take a photograph of the sign hanging on the wall.

  • Rain Drops on Poinsettias Photographs

    December 21, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I went shopping at Walmart. There was a rain storm in the area, so everything was wet and damp. I wanted to go to the gardening center to see if they had some plant products I needed. I didn’t find the products, but I did find a lot of poinsettias that has rain drops on them. They looked very pretty, so I decided to take photos of the leaves. I never like to post photographs I take of flowers of at Walmart or other areas, but I want to change that. Since these photographs were taken on my cell phone (An iPhone) the coloring may…

  • Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- Ruff Background Paint and Second Thoughts About Color Schemes

    December 20, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! I made some progress painting the Christmas Tree Farm sign. After my second thoughts staining the edge of the sign, I decided to proceed forward in painting the sign. I wanted the stain to be a red tone and the background of the sign dark green. From there, I would paint the sign’s wording and other decorations on it. Since the stain was more purple berry colored than red, I didn’t know if the green background would clash with the stain color. Even though I was worried, I decided to proceed forward in painting the background.

  • Wood DIY Star Ornaments and The Success and Struggles to Paint Them Gold Like Dior Charms

    December 19, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Last year, I decided to buy unfinished wood star ornaments. I had an idea to make them look like star charms that come with purchases made from the luxury fashion house Dior. I saw people online hand their star charms on their Christmas trees, which I liked a lot. Stars are a favorite shape and design, so having a tree full of them caught my eye. The only problem is the people online seem to shop at Dior far more than I do because they had many stars to hang on their tree! In order to have star charms to hang on my tree, but not go into…
