I bought the He is Risen cross at Marshall,s, I added the extra floras around the pit berry wreath. The cross is a reminder to me that Jesus died on the cross for sins.

It had the green leaf wreath already on there. I just jazzed it up a bit with extra flora's and a bird. Again I added the cross which is a Christmas ornament to represent again why we celebrate Easter. It is not all about rabbits and bunnies. But I do decorate with bunnies for spring. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0yWvL9bgLVPPFQmJOC3siALyoQjTENUFVJUwZWu9wPn8VcA52DINOEP96bXsQaJuwIHnb7uHe0ShNjrE0VbFfIHsuWYh44lj9-SMuHLhqbPgGYb4LKnd6EvXm4lPqgJuM4zZQFtnpE6DysYn1-KUQf08JKQWajSDlrJyw8nDp1z-_k1QG4IU0uHx/s935/Easter%20Decoration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="935" data-original-width="526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0yWvL9bgLVPPFQmJOC3siALyoQjTENUFVJUwZWu9wPn8VcA52DINOEP96bXsQaJuwIHnb7uHe0ShNjrE0VbFfIHsuWYh44lj9-SMuHLhqbPgGYb4LKnd6EvXm4lPqgJuM4zZQFtnpE6DysYn1-KUQf08JKQWajSDlrJyw8nDp1z-_k1QG4IU0uHx/s320/Easter%20Decoration.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Susan' Hearts and Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14581435116333224270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827504191021118813.post-25559141335032223422023-03-05T11:37:00.002-08:002023-03-05T11:37:42.240-08:00<p>I have not blogged for a while, actually for several years now. Life sure goes fast the older you get. I want to be more diligent with my blogging efforts. Share things that I create and even some of my daily life. I hope you enjoy the wreath I made for Easter.

I have been working on the front alcove of our house. I had a chicken wire trellis and added a galvanized metal container by using plastic ties. I put Styrofoam in the container and added floral. I attached a plaque I purchased at Hobby Lobby. Added some pip berries with lights.<br />
The two pillows on the chairs I purchased at Home Depot, as well as the plant. The star lights hanging on the chair I purchased at Ross.<br />
This will be the extent of my decorations for July 4th.<br />

I have severe anxiety. In order to keep it at a manageable level I alter things and make vignettes in my home. I don't claim to be an interior designer or artist. I just like to craft as part of my therapy. I wanted today to share some things I altered and how I styled them in a vignette.<br />

I have been crafting some again. I made a few bookmarks, a heart and Altered a wicker carriage. To make the bookmarks I use bits and pieces off my crafting desk..........just little snippets of lace and embellishments. I don't like to waste anything, I try to find a purpose for it.<br />

I thought I would share a project I completed today. I found this doll size wicker chase lounge in a antique/thrift store I go to occasionally. I decided I would try to alter it. This is my finished result.<br />
The fabric is from and old pillow case. I then just started layering the lace and the embellishments. The mauve satin fabric I made the pillow with is from a kit I bought on line........as well as some of the embellishments.<br />

I made this lantern swag, it may be too large for the Lantern, But I am going to leave it the way it is. The candle is one of those luminary candles. I forgot to turn it on before taking the photo. You will notice the table is missing it;s hardware. I plan to paint the table. If you have suggestions leave it in the comments. I found those little turquoise shoes at Goodwill, The Little cherub music I found at Humanity resale shop.

I made this wall hanging yesterday. It somehow has curved inward on me on the right side. I got really tired when I made this and should have stopped and finished it the next day.

Just a short little share of Spring Decor again today. I bought this wrought iron candle sconce at Ross. The candles are from the Dollar Tree. I look for the flowers in thrift stores. They generally come with a green wine holder or some kind of basket. If anyone knows where I can purchase these types of flowers , please let me know. They are not silk, or plastic, they are almost like crepe paper but not really paper. <br />

This is a photo of my dining room table decorations. I found a wrought iron candle stand at Goodwill. I brought it home and created this Spring/Easter arrangement. I used a combination of pink and purple candles I found at the Dollar Tree. The ribbons I used are purchased from AC Moore. The florals I found at a combination of stores and some I had on hand. I used flowers from AC Moore, Michael's and hobby lobby and dollar tree.<br />
I think I made a beautiful seasonal arrangement. The best thing is , the wrought iron base can be used seasonably or anytime I feel like a change.<br />

This wrought iron piece was also found at Goodwill. Again I added pink candles I found at Hobby Lobby. The flowers are again a combination of Tuesday Morning, Michael's , Dollar Tree and some I already had on hand. This piece is also interchangeable for the season or holidays.<br />

Long time no see! I had not been blogging for a long while now, but have decided to start again. I got so discouraged because people went to blogging they paid for the sites and advertising. My purpose when I started was just to share my projects with every one.<br />
So if no one looks at this.............I will do it for myself. So good to be back and doing things I love.Susan' Hearts and Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14581435116333224270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827504191021118813.post-31692091016713463292018-03-03T13:07:00.002-08:002018-03-03T13:07:51.275-08:00Dining Room Spring/Easter Decorations.<br />
<br />
This year I chose to use a lot of purple in my decorating for Spring/Easter. This is a color I do not normally choose. But the flora's I purchased to create my arrangement with, included lavender , pink and white. I also use left over flowers I had on hand from previous projects. <br />

To be able to display some of my random china pieces , I placed this book case next to my hutch. I love pretty china and stone ware. <br />
The Lamp sitting on a book covered with a doily came from Old Time Pottery years ago. The two little bunnies were found at a yard sale. The china pitcher ,cup and saucer, came from a yard sale as well. The little bunny next to the pitcher came from Goodwill. The Easter sign setting in the back ground was purchased this year at Big Lots.Susan' Hearts and Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14581435116333224270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827504191021118813.post-9700070678809526482015-08-28T23:31:00.002-07:002015-08-28T23:31:46.531-07:00Hello , my friends~<br />

I did not sleep last night, so I made this wreath. I finished it about 4:00 am. It has some touches of Easter with the glittered little eggs tucked in here and there.<br />

I changed out everything on this entry table. I had an ecru lace table runner on, but wanted to lighten it up with the white lace. I changed out a chocolate brown bowl for a crystal bowl. This is where we keep our keys and hubbies eppie pen. I made the little box and the white bird I have had for years. I have also had this lamp for years. It was a 5.00 Goodwill find.<br />

<br />
I made the table runner. I have a Dream Creator 5001 embroidery machine. I do not know whose design I used, if you recognize it as yours please let me know. I will give you complete credit for the design. The bunny is a Goodwill find, I made the egg basket froma peat pot and dollar tree eggs. The candle was in my stash. The candle holder was a yard sale find.<br />

I changed out some of the decorations on my mantle. I use to have the hydrangeas in the center of the mantle. I found the plate that is now there at Big Lots. I also found the candle container there as well. I thought both went well with the color of the hydrangeas. I just added some crystal to complete the look.</div>

I found this lamp at Good Will. It was a beat up gold color. I just took out my trusty black spray paint and gave it a make over. I added some bling around the glass table top. I used a shade I had on another lamp I had stored in my storage area.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Clearly this vignette needs some work. However , it will have to do for
now This on a window wall in my kitchen. I put box wood (fake) in
chicken wire basket on the little table. I love this shelf that I have
hanging but I do not know what to do with it. For now I put some blue
mason jar type thingies on the bottom shelf. and the smaller to shelf, I
put some burlap wrapped bottles. If anyone has any better ideas or any
ideas at all how to decorate this shelf, I am all Blogging Ears.Susan' Hearts and Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14581435116333224270noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827504191021118813.post-38449075879094090832015-01-28T17:07:00.000-08:002015-01-28T17:09:18.137-08:00K-Mart Haul and a Vignette<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went to K-Mart yesterday to purchase some brackets. I did not find the brackets I needed, but came across a awesome after Christmas Sale.<br />
I purchased all the stuff above for 25.00 and some change.<br />
My hubbie will make good of the sausage and cheese. I kept one of the little cutting boards and will give one to my daughter and son.<br />
The Christmas buckets I will take the contents out of them and make my own gift baskets next Christmas. I will use the hot cocoa and mints and cookies.<br />
There were two tea gift packs. One I took apart and will use the contents. The other I will give to my daughter.<br />
I will not wear the jewelry but will use it in my craft projects. Don't you love when you can find a really good bargain!<br />

I changed the top of my book case in the dining room. I added some pink elements. I do not use a lot of pink in my decorating, but decided to add some touches in the dining room.<br />
The large fan was purchased at Habitat for Humanity Resale Store. I added some embellishments and made a stand. I used it as a back drop for my vignette.<br />
The lamp is a Kirkland find a few years back. The candle came from Goodwill. I do not remember where I got the frosted fruit, but have had it for several years. The book was a Marshall's purchase. The table runner was a gift from my step daughter.<br />

I was really pleased to be able to take these roses home with me. It is meant for a Christmas decoration. I will save them for next year. They will fit right in with my winter wonderland theme. I love that they have glitter on the roses and a frosted look to the fruit and leaves.<br />

I found these for 99 cents. I thought they look like wintery blues. Also they have some silver pics in them , I will use them for crafting purposes.<br />

These flowers remind me of paper whites. They also have some silver pics in them. They were 99 cents as well.<br />

I love these three Christmas Angels. I will probably glue them to a canvas and display them in that matter. I will probably do something with the color. The gold just does not do it for me............However I could leave them gold because I did decorate with gold in my kitchen this year.<br />

I thought this little lace box was cute. I really do not like the orange flower , so I will change that out to a more neutral cream.<br />

I thought this little candle holder was cute. It was a 1.91. I will show you how I use it in a vignette.<br />

I love this lace table topper. Anytime I can find lace regardless if it is vintage or not. It comes home with me. If I do not use it for its intended purpose, I will utilize it to make something.<br />

If I could wear this I totally would. However I can not get one arm in the sleeve. It is a size small. I bought it to cut up and use the individual doily pieces in my crafting.<br />

would show you my creations. I made the rather large wall hanging, I
love the browns and cream colors I used. I have to make a new hanger,
the one I have on it does not work. It causes it to sag in the middle.<br />
The square thingie was a purchased piece, I just added the
embellishments. I made the Valentine Wall Hanging many years ago. Back
then I did not do much embellishing. So when I found it again, I fancied
it up a bit. Hope you enjoy!!<br />
