More Recent Signs
This holiday season just flew by. I was super busy making signs for gifts that I didn't even have a chance to take good pictures of some of them. Here's what I accomplished this past month.
A funny Christmas sign for the wine lover:
A couple of signs for a local firefighter and his family:
Made this one for myself. I wanted to add a fun touch to my winter gallery wall.
This one I made for myself as well.
This one was for my Mother in Law.
A couple lucky Grandma's received these ones for Christmas:
Love this version of the coffee one, too.

My Latest Sign Creations
Sorry I have been out of the blogging world for over 2 months. Life happens and being a Mom to 3 comes before anything else. I've continued making signs over the past few months and thought I'd share them with you here finally.
More new designs in the works that I will share with you shortly.

A Sweet Sign
After moving the TV to my gray buffet, I need something to go on the wall above it. The wall was screaming for a handmade sign. Earlier this year when I built my rustic shelves, I had originally envisioned 4 shelves but only 3 made the cut. So I've had this extra stained board lying around the garage just waiting for inspiration to strike.
I decided to use the board since it was the perfect size to fit over the TV. I created a Home Sweet Home stencil using my Silhouette machine and then painting it with acrylic paint. I then distressed it to give it a worn, rustic appearance.
Here's the sign before being distressed. Don't mind the random feet in the picture.
Here it is above the TV. It fits perfectly in the space.
I added a painting that was my Grandma's to the help fill in the space next to it. Don't mind the random dog bone. :)
What do you think? I love the look of the stained wood with painted words. I haven't done this kind of sign before but I see a lot more in my future.

A Reading Nook
Our house has a built in style wall in the family room. One side contains the fireplace and the other this large nook for holding a TV. Our house was built in 2003, so the nook is rather large and designed for the fatter tube style TV. We have housed our TV in this nook since we moved in in 2008. It has been OK, but the way we have to set up the couch makes watching TV a little awkward. I've been envisioning a change for a while now but wasn't quite sure what I would do with the gaping hole once I moved the TV.
So, I forgot to take a before picture but I found one that would work. Don't mind the pile of laundry or the bookshelf in front of the fireplace.
This is taken from my kitchen looking into the family room. As you can see, the room is narrow and the best place for the couch is under the windows. This was before moving the TV.
I decided to use that built in space to create a reading nook. With school just around the corner, reading and homework time is going to increase. I wanted to make a fun place for the kids to hang out and read a book.
Once I started the project, I decided to paint the entire wall a grayish blue color instead of the boring, dark beige color it was before. This really helped lighten up the space and make it feel like less of a cave.
The white bookshelf is a Closetmaid 2 by 3 shelf from Target. It holds all the books perfectly and fits the space just right. The aqua back pillow is also from Target and very fluffy and soft. The kids love it. The two navy floor cushions are from Ikea. I made the sign with my favorite Dr. Seuss quote. The clip on light is from Fred Meyer.
Here's the whole room put together:
Once the large armoire that holds the toys and the train table are no longer needed, the room will be perfect.
I love how it all came together. The kids love it, too. The family room has much better flow and it is much more enjoyable to sit and watch TV.

Craft Room Gallery Wall
After creating my craft cabinet, I needed something to fill the space above it. You know how I love gallery walls and this was the perfect opportunity to creat something fun and not just pcitres of the family.
Here's the before:
I needed something to balance out the shelves. Here's what I came up with:
The large canvas I got at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $10! The three shadow boxes I created over 2 years ago and never hung them up. They finally have the perfect home.
I finally made myself a sign. I love fun, whimsical vibe!
I printed off these fun faux chalkboard printables from U-Create here.
I love how it all came together. The craft room is slowly taking shape. I can't wait to get the office half of the room complete so I can give you a tour of the entire space.
Have a Crafty Week,
