August Subway Art Table Runner

Good Monday Morning ! Today is the first day of school for my youngest .. He is a sophomore this year , and I can't believe I forgot to take that first day of school photo ! I will have to take one tomorrow ..
I finally got around to making a summer themed ( just for August ) subway art table runner. I used a few colors of yellow, grey, black and white paints..
Wish I would have had some sunflowers for the mason jar, but mine in the garden are all finished ..so I used black eyed susans, and yellow zinnias..


I use my big foam stamps that I bought for scrapbooking a few years ago, for most of the words and then I freehand paint and use fabric paint for the rest. I also sprinkled some glitter in places on the wet paint.


For the ruffle I used black and white check, and then the yellow used to be my kitchen window treatments. I knew there would be a good use for that fabric someday :) It is hard to get a good photo of the ruffle since we have a round table.. Makes it look uneven .




 


I also put my black white check and burlap decomesh wreath back up .. I think I will add some sunflowers with the daisies in the wreath to make it more end of summerish..
Pretty soon it will be time to decorate for Fall .. ( can't wait !)

Hope you have a great day ! I will be back tomorrow or Wednesday with my crochet update.. I finished the granny ripple and started another big flower blanket !

Daisy porch pillow

 Good morning , and thanks for stopping by ! Last week I decided to make a pillow to go with the Burlap Daisy Wreath on our front door.  This was all a use what I had ( do it the cheapest way ! LOL !)
 I had an old pillow from a chair we got rid of so I made a cover for it in muslin sewing 3 sides , then folding the last side up and HOT GLUED it  :) Since this is on the front porch and will most likely get thrown away after a year or two I didn't want to spend too much time on it.
 I had this black polka dot fabric so I just cut it in strips and hot glued them down. First one direction then the other.

 I then took strips of this gingham black/ white and hot glued ruffles around the pillow.
 I added the 3 daisies that I pulled off a big bunch of them and glued those on top.
 I think it looks perfect and was basically free using what scraps I had around here !


Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving your nice comments! Have a great week !
