A few weeks ago, I moved from upstate New York to Colorado. Of course, with any move to a new state comes a new place to live, and inevitably, new things to buy to fit that new space.
At the moment, I'm living at my friend's house. It's temporary, until I get a few things squared away, but even so, I still want to feel at home now. Last night, I challenged myself to create something that would help me to feel grounded. After wandering around Michael's for a bit, I decided that I was going to make an apron! Well, I would buy the apron and use iron-ons to add some personality to the plain white cloth...lol!
Here are the materials all laid out:
Here is the finished product:
And here is me, happy with the time well spent being creative!
Home is where the HEART is. Part of creating a home includes choosing the material objects that surround you. I prefer items that have been made with passion, spirit, and genuine care.
That is why I was thrilled when BlogFrog (love them!) offered me the opportunity to tell you about the new Home Made Simple Marketplace on Facebook, a place where we can shop for handcrafted items and fabulous finds, sell our own handmade items, and get ideas for new creative projects.
The marketplace is a new initiative by Home Made Simple, a brand that believe it’s the personal touch that matters most. Everything they do is designed to empower and inspire you to make your home even better, and most importantly, a place you love to be.
Now that is something I can get on board with. And now you can get on board too because I get to give one of you a very cool book. Read on to learn how to join the conversation and win.
