New Vignette on table

Was digging in the basement and decided to spruce up the kitchen table a lil, I found the big round turn about at the goodwill for $2 gave it a quick sanding and sprayed it white sanded again and used some dark stain, then took all my scrapping scissors out of the lil basket I had and sprayed it black.    Diggin thru some more I come across  the salt and pepper shakers that were grandmas and the grater added a candle and viola.  Now to keep the table clean instead of crafting!!!!!
Hope you all have a wonderful week here in Ohio rain and cold, was lovin last week warm and sunny been painting treasures from thrifting hope to get a few pics uploaded!!!

Goodwill find...

Wow did I ever score today at the goodwill I bought her for $4 bucks, brought her home gave her a quick spray of paint because it didn't have any paint or sealer, so then mixed up some raw umber paint and a little water gave her a quick coat let her sit for a few minutes then wiped her off!!
Oh I just love her want to decorate her up with some of my grandmas old jewelry and enjoy her sitting on my dresser.
HUGS....



Rose pins...

Okay I finally figured out how to add a picture there are so many tutorials out there on the flowers so I am just adding some pics of what I did for the Red Hat Ladies 13yrs of gatherings.  Made 70 of them for less then $10.00
What you will need is napkins of any color, glitter glue, hot glue gun, leaf punch and circle punch and pin backs.
All I did was cut the napkins in half then in half again so I ended up getting 4 roses out of 1 napkin, I then took 2 pieces and glued them together to make one long piece.
Start rolling I glued the center then started twisting rolling and pinching and gluing every inch or so.  Was pretty simple and made a great little gift for each of the ladies.
You can use crepe paper, ribbon, material scraps just about anything you have really!
Now I know I have to get better on my pics but until I figure out everything  hope you can not laugh too much!!! LOL
