My Hot Glue Gun Holders

This is a paper towel holder I bought a few years ago.  I was never all that crazy about the color, since my kitchen walls are red, it just sort of blends in.  I repainted it black and white, and now I love it! 

Halloween

Got this idea off of Pinterest.  My 7 year old helped me make it.  We had fun doing it together! 

=====================================================

I cut out some "candy corn" with my jigsaw.  Thought they were a cute addition to my little witches.  The witch above I cut from wood and painted, but the witch below I made from cornsilks. 

Some new jewelry I made....

My best friend Carla and I got together this summer for a girl's weekend. No kids. No hubbies. Just time to talk and craft, drink coffee leisurely (what's that?), sleep in. It was SO much fun. We decided it was going to have to be a yearly retreat for us! Here are some of my jewelry pieces I made that weekend.

Hard to tell from this picture, but these beads are maroon. I refer to them as my Aggie earrings and bracelet! (Now I need to make an Aggie necklace to go with them!)

Jewelry Making

My newest endeavor...

I'm trying my hand at making jewelry. I'm still new at it, but I thought these turned out pretty cute. My best friend Carla and I are going to have a girl's weekend this summer and we'll be learning together to make a few more that are a bit more complicated.

My Country Chickens...

I just love these chickens. This is probably the hardest jigsaw creation I've made, because all of the little pieces of each chicken are cut individually, then wired onto the piece as a whole.

Thanksgiving.....

Here's a Thanksgiving Turkey I made. Cut it from 1/2" pine, sanded, and painted it.

Christmas Crafts......

Here are a few of my jigsaw creations for the Christmas season. Each of these I cut using my jigsaw and then painted.

"Let It Snow" Snowman

Heartwarming Hugs Snowman, with two other snowmen

Snowbunny with Christmas Tree

Ho, Ho, Ho Santa

Snowmen Trays (I did NOT cut these!)

Clothespins....

Ever use clothespins? We do, a lot. I think these are a lot cuter than the plain ones! Want some? I can customize them to your favorite colors, or your alma mater.
