We've sold the first 2 sets we've made so we're slowly making more. Here's the next one we made. I have to admit, I love these and I was sad to see them go.

Burlap Roses and Vintage Mason Jars
My mom and I threw together some, in my opinion, adorable centerpieces. All it is is vintage teal mason jar, wrapped in twine, burlap flowers, some ribbon, and a chalkboard heart tag. We have 2 listed on our shop.
I'm thinking of making a bunch for my wedding. Although instead of a vintage blue jar I may just buy a bunch of clear and color them to look like sea glass with food coloring and glue. We'll see. If the sea glass thing works out I'm thinking of making sets to sell for people to buy for their wedding tables. Sometimes these blue jars a hard to come by.
Aaahh!! Plush Monsters
I'm so in love with these little plush monsters I've been making. I've taken a little break from making them because I didn't want my house to become filled with them.
I gave one to my 5 year old nephew for Christmas and my brother loved it so much he wanted one too. I'm thinking of making a few and putting the on the Etsy shop to see how the do?
My personal favorite is the red guy. The green one went to my nephew for Christmas, so he wasn't able to hang on the rocking chair for the group photos. Oh, and I feel compelled to mention that the green guy looks a little odd in the picture because he wasn't completely sewn up when I took that picture but that was the only one I had of him.

Amber and Wood Candle Holder Redo and More Antlers
In a previous post, I showed a before picture of some short wood and amber glass candle holders. Well they have been painted and scuffed and here are they are finished! We also found a tall pair that have been refinished as well.
There are the before and after photos. The short ones were done in blue and the tall ones were painted a dark orange. I think they turned out pretty cute.
We also did another set of antlers. I LOVE this pair. It's mounted on a dark walnut stained plaque and covered with a pink geometric fabric and some white rope.

Bunting!
I have a love hate relationship with sewing. I love to make things, but I'm very impatient. So when I decided to sew something I usually pick things that take about an hour to make.
Bunting is a really easy project and they're quick and super cute. I also love that you don't need to rely on a pattern.
I just cut a triangle out of card stock and get to it! I cut 2 pieces of fabric per pennant. From there, I sew up the triangles (right sides facing) and then clip the excess fabric from the bottom so when I turn them inside out, the point turns neatly.
Then all you have to do is press each pennant, place and pin on your bias tape and sew 'er up. Make them in plain fabric or add your own embellishments to the front! If you add things to the front, just make sure you put it on the front triangle before you sew the two pieces together.
If sewings not your thing, there are other ways to make cute bunting. I've also made bunting out of crocheted hearts and triangular granny squares!

Upcoming Projects
My mom and I have been on the hunt for some things to redo. Here's some things we've found so far - I figured I'd post some of the before photos.
Found these HUGE antlers on the cheap. We're thinking about mounting them on this tree slice.
I'm so excited to get started on these projects! Hopefully we get them done quickly so I can get the after photos on.

Vintage Deer Antler Makeover
It all started 2 years ago when I picked up a set of deer antlers while out hunting. My mom and I thought at that time it would be so cute to mount them on cool plaques and cover them with fabric.
I think they're adorable. We have some sets on our etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmmaBeansandMore
We've gotten a little obsessed with them over the years. I love seeing how they turn out <3
