Looks like a simple project doesn't it? Not so much.
Well it actually was a simple project, I must have walked under an ladder or crossed paths with a black cat cuz it took me multiple tries to get this right. And we won't even talk about the other project I really messed up........ And yes I do get the irony of the above wall hanging sentiment........
First started with a vinyl stencil cut on my silhouette that I totally put on the wood crooked. Didn't figure that out til after I stenciled all the words. So repainted cream over the entire thing and decided to give myself a day to figure out how to do it better. Today I redid the silhouette file and tried to cut new vinyl and it would not cut for the life of me. Not the first cut or the 6th, 7th or 8th cut. That's a lot of vinyl to waste. Put in a call to the hot line, Got some good advice.....none of it worked. So I cut out cardstock stencils instead (silhouette would cut paper, just not the vinyl......go figure), It was much messier to do it this way since the paper isn't adhesive like the vinyl but it worked! After I finished the Today sign I did a little Farmhouse one.
We are slowly redecorating our bedroom to match the master bath we remodeled last year. New paint and some new items (like the bird cage light) brighten up the room. We have new carpet on order too. A few other rooms are getting facelifts so we are really staying busy around here. Stay tuned for more updates.
