Coffee sleeves get a fun make-over.

For the past couple of months, I have been collecting coffee sleeves that come with my Starbucks drink. I have accumulated a few and can tell you that I drink way too much coffee. I am not proud of myself, but I also don't get my hair or nails done. I guess one could say this is my splurge. On the other hand, others might say that I need to go ahead and splurge on getting my hair done. 😂😂 Regardless, it's all good.

I decided to do a little horror series, but so far I only have these two. Can I even call this a series with just two? lol I will add to this, but I will have to think about what I would like to make. Chucky maybe?

The top one is inspired by Pennywise.

Could it possibly be Pennywise's long lost sibling? I mean maybe. It could be. 😆

The bottom one is inspired by Silence of the Lambs.

Could this be Clarice if her and Hannibal Lecters roles were reversed?

I hope you enjoyed and let me know if you'd like me to add on to this series.

Stay safe and stay creative. Until next time. -Maddie

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings. I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that. Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did. Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser. Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie

Can I laser on glass?

Conversation with myself: Can I laser on glass? Well, I don't know, I haven't tried. 😂 It was my first attempt at lasering on glass. Next time I think I will make some minor setting adjustments. Depending on the design, I may want the image to be a bit clearer/sharper. But, since this design is a bit cute, spooky and going to be used as Halloween decor in our home, it works. The black roses were made using my laser, wood with acrylic paint. I know this is short but I hope it was sweet. I'm not sure where October went, but I wish you and yours a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you for stopping by and, Until next time, Maddie

Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought. Some Supplies used: Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like. I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them. I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves. It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon. This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do. Thanks for popping in, Maddie
