I bought a couple of berry garlands/stems on after-Christmas clearance, and pulled them apart and combined them for a long garland that goes across the cupboards over the stove and oven. The second picture is a wreath I bought (on sale) at JoAnn's and put it where the cookie plaque used to be. I thought the wreath matched perfectly, with the berries, the Americana colors, and the tin stars on it. I should take a picture of the tin cans I bought at Roberts and painted for my pencils and paper!
Now off to finish some mending and work more on Trevin's dino blocks, then on to Valentine's Day decor. I downloaded, with Amy's help (long distance) some images for the Silhouette. I can hardly wait to make something with them!
These pictures are for Amy. I just wanted you to see the other decor items I did for the kitchen. The cans were just the plain rusty tin, so I painted them red, then antiqued them a bit. I have pens in one, paper in the other. The chain of stars is the two chains put together (I bought you a larger chain to add to your smaller one.) The quilt hanger looks cute, I bought a star from Rod Works to hang it from, Dad was nice to attach it to the wall for me, nice and sturdy. I painted regular clothes pins black, then brushed red paint over, then sanded the edges and covered them with matte varnish. They should hold up the hangings I want to put up. That is where I will put my Valentine topper, whenever I get it done!
