Something to Crow about part 2

I have glass jars EVERYWHERE and I mean EVERYWHERE have been hoarding them for awhile now much to my Husbands dismay.  

I did make a deal with him when we are done with the kitchen the ones I don't use will be going to 

Y's Buys.  He was happy with that!

Here is another display we created. 

 The Hobnialish candle holders were found by Jan (My Second Mama).  

They are actually plastic not milk glass hobnail, however this wall is directly across from my milk glass and they look awesome!!!!

The Rooster Tin was purchased at Home World Market

Red Knobs at Hobby Lobby along with the ceramic rooster and red candles.

The Crowing Rooster was cut on the Cricut at 4"

Side view of this display.  The little Red Rooster hook was purchased at Home World Market it is holding my Grandmother's vintage aprons.  LOVE!

This pantry cupboard is re purposed as additional pantry space, we have had it forever (Purchased at Shopko, I think).

Gingham Check Tut

I needed a basic Gingham check pattern for our kitchen and I would need access to large quantities.  So...I made my own.  Here are some simple directions so you can do the same.

1. Open a new file in PS 200 by 200 pixels
2. Pick your color combination 
3. Draw a diagonal gradient line from upper left to lower right
4. Click on filter+Distort+Wave this will give you your basic Gingham pattern
5. Rename your  pattern Edit+Define Pattern+type in your description (this will save the file in your pattern folder.
6. Open a new document 12" by 12" if you don't have a wide format printer go 8 1/2" by 11"
7. Click on your paint bucket
8. Pick up the pattern you created and drop it in your open blank page
9. Save your digital paper file
10. Print and you are ready to create

Don't have PS here are some free download gingham papers for you...

Really easy and fun;)

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless!

Up-Cycle Happiness

After about 9 years I do believe our kitchen is just about finished.  Yes!

Been working on the pantry and our open cupboard.  DH insists on clogging this space up with mayhem and madness.  I could not take it any longer and this is what I came up with.  All the glass I have been saving has now been reclaimed for pantry jars.  These jars now call the open cupboard home.  

Uniform, colorful, interesting = happiness;)

All the jars are of varying sizes by spraying the lids red and wrapping DP around them they became unified.  I first wanted the labels on the front however, I ended up liking the tops labeled.

I think they look awesome and we are all very happy now with the open cupboard.

I will get complete pics up for you in the next few days.

Happy Stamp Day!  God Bless!
