Spring Blooms - Table Runner

I saw this cute table runner in one of my favorite magazines Canadian Living!  I tore the page out and it has been in my craft room for quite some time.  I am just glad that I still had it (I've been tossing lots of loose paper and such).  If you want to make one yourself....click HERE

SPRING is HERE!

The weather has change and the snow is finally melting! 

 Did I say...Spring is here!

So it is time to clean and freshen up everything around the house.

Time to bring out the flowers and watering cans.

So I am looking forward to having a healthy Easter brunch with my new Spring Blooms table runner.

I had fun making this, it took me about 3 hours in total.  Once I started I didn't stop until it was complete!  If you would like to know how I did this in a little more detail click here!

I think I'll try this on some pillows next!

I am linking my cute Easter project with these cool sites!

Take a Thrift store find and add a little paint and Voila!! It looks new and fresh again!

I placed this wall hanging in my craft room!  It looks great on the yellow wall:)

So I found this dark green and brown wall hanger (flower holder?) at The Salvation Army for $1.50

I knew that a coat of paint would help it out!

The original has the brown coming through the green. 

I love this aqua blue color and wanted the same effect with the white!

So I just quickly put a coat of blue, not being too particular.

Once dry, I sprayed a coat of white.  I used this KILZ primer because its what I had on hand and I like the flat finish that it has.  I then took a sanding sponge and gave the raised flowers a roughing up showing the beautiful blue!  Simple but that is what I love about it!  Any ideas on what else to put in there?  I thought I could store some scrapbooking supplies/tools but it is too deep...and a pair of scissors would get lost!
