The tote I'm transforming today for my gardening has been one of my favorites for a long time. 
I used this tote to carry my craft supplies, labels, and tags to craft shows. 
With one easy swipe of a stencil I'm transforming it into my new favorite garden tote.

Recently I saw the most beautiful mushroom wood bowl centerpiece at Jennifer Rizzo Design Company. I couldn't get the darn thing out of my mind it was so beautiful. The mushrooms were made by hand and it was just amazing. 
Jennifer shows you in her post just how she made the mushrooms, she is a true artist! 
I wanted to figure out how to make an easy version of the mushroom garden and on my most recent trip to Dollar Tree I knew I found a winner!

I've seen these cute little natural fiber pots from the dollar store used in many ways on Pinterest. 
Today I'm going to stencil some with one of my favorite rustic crate stencils and then I'll give them a handle like a tiny bucket. 
For now I'm filling the pots with moss and flowers but when I'm ready to plant my garden they will be perfect to fill with soil and seeds!

If you know me you know I like to go for a walk whenever I can. Lately, I've been walking a little slower with my new puppy Sammy. 
I often find cool things on the side of the road and have been known to be seen carrying some pretty strange things down the road on my way home. 
Today's find was small but I knew it had some potential.

So every once in a while when I see something I want to copy on the internet, I try to locate the original source by doing a google image search. 
Today I saw this amazing black textured vase that didn't look that hard to create and I was right! 
All you need is an old vase, some paint, and a few felted pom poms!

Let's face it, at some point in your life you stop saving the good things for "some day".
If you are of a certain age like I am going to say, go for it. Use the good silverware, wear what you want, and don't hold onto things you aren't using! 
There, that is my message for today. Oh, and I am repurposing another vintage soda crate to make it something I'm going to use rather than something I am saving "just because". 
Who is with me on this?...

I found a cute set of round wooden boxes with lids at the thrift store recently. 
I stained the boxes and gave them knobs for handles but then realized I could do more. 
Using a fun tin ceiling tile from the dollar store and gave these cute little boxes an easy and amazing makeover!

Did you happen to see the stuffed hearts I printed out on my computer for Valentine's Day? 
Today I'm creating a wooden crate with a beautiful bee design using the same printer technique. 
Print any design you want and decorate almost anything!

I love the look of rusty tin ceiling tiles only they aren't very easy to find and can be quite costly if you do. 
Today I'm going to show you how to create the look of a rusty tin ceiling tile for a dollar. Well $1.25 to be exact! 
I'm going to make a rusty tin ceiling three leaf clover to decorate for St. Patrick's Day and I'll show you how!

Repurposing is my favorite thing to do. It is economical and helps in a small way to keep our planet clean. 
My new love is repurposing the signs I've made. They've gotten scratched and damaged, I have too many because of blogging, or I am just tired of looking at them. 
Today I'm repurposing an old black sign and it couldn't be cuter for Valentine's Day!

Today's project is an easy one and it only cost me $1.25 to make because the supplies once again, came from the Dollar Tree.
I'm experimenting with an air dry terra cotta clay I found at the dollar store and my project worked out just as I had hoped! You may even want to invite the kids on this one! 
I added a little texture and I had a bowl full of neutral love for Valentine's Day!
Check it out...

Here's a fun and easy project for Valentine's Day and you might have most of the supplies at home. 
Hang these cute wooden tassels on hooks, hang on a tiered tray, or maybe you even have a Valentine's Day tree!

Hearts are not just for Valentine's Day and if you make them from recycled fabric that you love, you're going to want to keep them out all year long! 
This easy tutorial uses recycled fabric tea towels to create beautiful double hanging stuffed hearts.

I have one more rust technique for you today, well it actually has been used before but this time it is going to be on recycled cardboard. 
We all have cardboard so I thought I'd give it a try on something easily obtained. 
This technique is easy and you probably have everything you need to make these at home right now!

Recently I ordered a package of small wooden hearts from Amazon and I've gotten so much use out of them! 
Today I'm creating a second mini wired heart garland only this time I'm making it rusty! You're going to love this easy rust technique along with a little spray painting hack. 
This garland looks great in the rusty look but even looks adorable in its natural wood color.
See what I mean...
