I use a lot of iron on transfers for projects here as well as the ones I do over on Graphics Fairy DIY. I often get emails and questions about the easiest way to flip an image – and it’s so easy that you probably already know how… but I thought I’d share just in case. It’s seriously one step – dead simple – and you can do it in about 3 seconds. First open your image in Paint. I use Paint a lot because it’s free…. I like free. Then click the little split triangle box, the one next to my big, red ... continue reading...
How to make: Paper Bag Flower Lights
Happy little accidents are the best kind, right? Last week I was at my friend Polly’s shop, where I was sitting up a new space. I needed some filler to fluff with, and there were slim pickin’s on what to choose from. Then I saw a stack of white paper bags. I started crumpling them and realized, “Hey!

First things first: Hit the beach! There aren't a ton of them in ... continue reading...

I get a lot of emails about how I paint the walls in our mobile home. I know I don't talk about living in a mobile home all that often, not because I'm ashamed of it, but because I just don't think of it that way - its just our home. With all that said, I do want to share a little bit about painting the vinyl style wall paper in a mobile home. There's only a couple of rooms left that do not have bead board installed, like my bedroom and my studio. Most every other room has been clad in bead ... continue reading...
Studio curtains {or How to Use Up Fabric Scraps}
I know it’s been nearly a month that we’ve been talking about the studio…. are y’all getting tired of it yet? I’ve been working away on it – and it’s really nice to see it coming together. The hard part of this space is I want to do it on basically no budget. I did manage to buy a few things, but the curtains… well those were free! I have this horrible tendency to hold on to tiny bits of random fabric. Usually it’s because I love it so much that I just can’t bear to throw away even 1/2 a ... continue reading...
