My dad made this marker truck for Shelby for her birthday. She loves it! She “vrooms” it around and then colors and then pushes the truck then colors some more.
I can’t tell you how to make this because it’s beyond my talents, but I wanted to share it with you all because it is so [...]

First of all, what the heck happened to November? I had all these Thanksgiving ideas to share! I guess you’ll just have to print this out for next year. Although, there’s still time to make this little card to attach to your hostess gifts.
This is so much easier than it looks! I just glued ribbon [...]

I know, I know, I know. It’s way too early for Christmas. But those of us who make gifts usually need to start a little earlier than December 20. Or at least I try to.
I present to you a “Purse Set”.
On the far left is an altered miniature composition book embellished with a brad and [...]
Altered Canvas – Glitter Turkey.

My name is Mary and I have an addiction to glitter. I glitter everything. Gourds. Pictures of strangers. Mason jars. Deer statues. My pants. Although to be fair, the glittery pants are more a result of spillage than intentional bedazzling.
So why not make a glittered turkey? Isn’t he cute?
I free-handed all the paper piecing. And [...]

Remember my picture of the little girl in the checkered dress? (http://marybt.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/edna-is-not-observant/) It was suggested that I keep her around for all the various holidays. She needs a name.
Here she is all ready for Thanksgiving!
I couldn’t figure out how to make a pilgrim hat, so I made her an Indian. They were at the first [...]

For this, I Mod Podged orange tissue paper to a quart Ball Mason Jar. Then I cut the mouth and eyes out of black cardstock and mounted the face on [...]

Martha Stewart has a project on her site wherein she printed out a picture and did like a paint-by-number with glitter kind of thing. I would love to provide you the link, but I can’t find it. The project was on the front page of MarthaStewart.com for days, so I’m sure it’s there somewhere, but [...]
Edna Is Not Observant.

I really like looking at old pictures. I don’t particularly care to own old pictures except those of my family, but I do like looking at them. (Who wants a bunch of pictures of strangers hanging around?) However, I could not resist buying this one at an estate sale this summer. The little girl is [...]
Glitter Pumpkins.

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you will know that I love glitter. On everything. Except the back pocket of adult jeans; that’s just ridiculous. So I was almost elated to find this awesome new (?) product at Hobby Lobby on Saturday.
It’s glue … with glitter … and sequins!
Well, [...]
