Happy Sunday everyone! I don't normally post on Sunday, except for my Creative Corner linky party on Sunday night... HOWEVER, as the title says... OH deer, it's almost Christmas!

PLUS, as a HUGE bonus... you have a chance to win a Trans Pro Mini Heat Press ($199 Value!).

A huge thanks to Pro World for suppling me with a holiday package of Siser Strip Flocked Heat Transfer Vinyl and regular Siser EasyWeed in Black to come up with a holiday craft. They are also sponsoring the Heat Transfer Giveaway. I have been using Pro World for all of my vinyl needs for my Silhouette machine and I was thoroughly impressed by the flocked heat transfer vinyl that they sent me to try out!

You'll need vinyl, fabric and small embroidery hoops. You could also use mason jar lids instead of embroidery hoops. (Not pictured: you may want some thin ribbon to hang the ornament with and pom poms to decorate the outside of the embroidery hoop.)

I went into the Silhouette store and found a design with 3 different deer.

You will want to go to Object>Mirror>Flip Horizontally since you are ironing these onto fabric. In my Cut Settings, I had Cut Edge and Heat Transfer Material Flocked selected. I had to increase my blade to a 6 (it says to do 4) and then I was set to cut my designs! When loading your vinyl into your machine, make sure that the dull side is face up.

After my Silhouette machine cut out the design, I peeled away the vinyl around it.

Place your vinyl on top of your fabric and cover it with a thin piece of fabric. Press your iron down on top. Once it has adhered to the fabric, pull the clear backing sheet off and you'll have your design on your fabric!


OrnamentsMake7

Place fabric inside your embroidery hoop and trim the edges.

I used some thin ribbon to make a hanger for each of the ornaments.

You can also hot glue pom poms around the outside of the embroidery hoop.

These pom poms really worked great on the fabrics that were solid with gold flecks.

And, that's it! I had so much fun making these and I had a lot of the supplies already at home.

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...
