Simple and quick nightstand cover/rug . . .

My daughter has some left over fabric from little projects she has done recently. This is one of her favorite pieces of fabric she owns. She cut a piece to place on her nightstand as a little rug or table covering. It looked super cute, but she didn't like that it would slide around.  I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure things continuously sliding and falling would annoy me too! We made a trip to Daiso and found this non slip grip sheets. I cut a piece the size of the fabric piece she had cut and stitched it on to the back. So simple and fast.  Once I stitched the non slip grip sheet on, I used my fingers to fluff it up to hide the stitch line; or you could leave it if you like. I didn't take a photo of it once it was fluffed but it's okay. You get the idea. 😊 According to my daughter, it works great. Nothing is slipping or sliding around . . . YAY! I have lots of extra fabric sitting around my studio, so I think I am going to look for some holiday themed pieces and

Laser made: Mother's Day Gift & Father's Day Gift

Hey Guys,  I hope everyone had a fun and safe July 4th.  Below are some items that I have made on my Glowforge for my Mother's Day and for Father's Day.  This sign was done on white board and the words were stained using Varathane in Weathered Gray. I also used whiteboard for this sign, but instead of stain, I used regular black acrylic paint. A photographer, I am not!  I am aware that my photography skills suck. 😂.   The flowers were made from satin fabric and embellished with some crystals. Super cute, super easy.   This next sign I made for my husband.  I used Baltic Birch wood stained with Varathane in Weathered Gray. I used regular blue acrylic paint for the inner circle and I used white board for the white lettering.  He truly is built dad tough.  The kids and I are lucky to have him in our lives. That's all I have for today, but I will be trying my hardest to have at least one post a week. Even if it's just a simple share of what I've crafted :) Stay Crafty,
