New Webster's Pages papers are finally in! They are a month late and I have been anxiously awaiting them because I keep thinking of projects I want to use them for---so happy they are here! Now to get started...I'm sure I will post photos soon of some of things I've made with them!

New Items: March 2013

We have a few new pieces done that we've been working long and hard on. Of course everything is always much more difficult than you expect it to be, but maybe that makes it more rewarding to finish? :) Mom has been doing some awesome pieces with antique door knobs and repurposed furniture pieces that I just love. I've been working on a monstrosity of a dresser, the mirror is so large I think it would make any room look twice as big as it really is! But I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I love the nightstand that goes with it.

Our DIY this month is a cute shamrock wreath inspired by this one by Brittany Watson Jepsen. I just gathered together different green print and plain green cardstock papers, cut out shamrocks in various shapes and sizes, folded the leaves in half a little to make them more 3D, and glued them onto an embroidery hoop with PVA glue. For a pattern, just click on the link to the shamrock shapes I drew: shamrock pattern
We hope you have a wonderful rest of the month! In honor of St. Pat's Day and spring, mention our newsletter and receive 10% off anything green in the store for the rest of March!
