Here is a little ol' picture of one of my latest creations....my Love sign! I made it out of old barn wood that I got FREE from someone! Yes, FREE! Those are always the best! I saw a sign like this posted and had pinned it to my Pinterest account in my "to create" file a while back. The O is made into a heart with fabric flowers that I rolled. Now, I had never made fabric flowers before....I taught myself using the Internet from some very crafty people. Who would of thought making flowers from scraps of material?? At first I thought that surely I had enough flowers, but when I started filling them in, I realized that it was going to take quite a few. To glue them, I used the hefty E6000 glue, or something of that nature. I thought the sign turned out great. I think it's my hubby's favorite too. We were going to keep it for our house when we finally get going on the remodel, but I decided to donate it to a benefit auction for Saturday. I can always make another. I am finding that I get so much done for benefit auctions that I haven't really had time to make anything to sell or keep! That's ok though because it definitely gives me time to perfect my art! And I think that you should always give back to help others in need!

I love it Shannon! And what a wonderful way to contribute to so many good causes. I will have to look into how to make those fabric flowers, they look so neat!
