This is Not your Typical Farmhouse Sign

jackiecantblog@gmail.com January 31, 2017 0 Comments

I just love Farmhouse signs. They can be simply made, and are usually painted. They can be one or two word on the sign. They can be used for your front porch, and say "Welcome". They can be used for holiday decorating, and say "Joy". These fun signs can be any color or size to fit your style and decor. The possibilities are endless. I wanted to make a sign for my kitchen. I thought about words...

Another Painted Quilt

Jackie Hill September 23, 2016 0 Comments

Hello. I love quilts. I love quilt patterns. I love the graphic statement they make. They are traditional and modern at the same time. I painted another quilt. I am a little obsessed with them. I am not going to give a tutorial on Painting quilts. It is pretty self explanatory, draw out a quilt pattern and fill in with paint. An easy DIY artwork that anyone could do. I had this canvas that...

DIY Art for the Patio

Jackie Hill July 22, 2016 0 Comments

Hi There, how are you? Thanks for stopping by. Today I have another piece of DIY artwork to show you. Last summer 2015, I made this herringbone pattern on a wine crate lid. I used wood shims from the hardware store cut into small pieces and glued them down with wood glue. I liked all of the different tones in the wood shims. But it just wasn't feeling like it was done, ya know? So, out came the...

A Lovely little Vignette in the Living Room

Hi There! I am so glad you dropped by! I was sitting in the living room, watching TV. Losing brain cells, I'm sure. And I just loved how the light was hitting this small vignette I have on the top of a small bookcase. Whats a girl to do? Get out her camera and go take some pictures. This is the top of a little bookcase I have had for years. It sits between the TV armoire and the window. The...

Happy 4th of July Front Porch

Hi There! Happy 4th! I took these photos over a week ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. You know? Lets get started, here is the Front porch all dressed up for the 4th of July. Lots, of Red, White, and Blue. This was a quick and easy change over, everything here has been used before on the Front porch. I just moved a few things around and changed out some of the plants. Except the New...

A boring post with photos…

Hi There, how are you? I hope you have had some coffee. I think that I am about to bore you. This is your fair warning, that this is not an exciting post. Are you ready for what it is? It is tiny/small space with more doors than walls. Crazy, I know! But please stay with me, it won't be too bad ;) We have been in our cute little rental house for a couple of years. And most likely will be here...

An old Window is now an old Mirror?

Jackie Hill August 15, 2014 0 Comments

I have the most thoughtful boyfriend. I saw this old window at an antique shop. I love the shape. Not too big or too small. I love the lead glass, the diamond pattern. I knew it could be a fun project. But it was the holidays and I wasn't spending any money, except on presents for my kids and my boyfriend. So I passed it up, and forgot about it. Then Christmas came, and there it was under...
