Shabby chic altered canvas
Well last night i started my very first chabby chic altered canvas. I have done an altered canvas once before but nothing like this! I am loving this! I am still not finished i am needing some flowers and other things to finish it, but i still have a month to finish it. this is what i got so far...
Isn't it pretty! I so wish i could just keep it! but i have to be fair to my partner. :( Whomever she is. What new crafty adventurs have you had? Anything worth sharing? It might give me something new to try.

easy handmade butterflies
Here is my simple no fail tutorial on how to make your own butterflies... are you ready? ok here we go...
First get you some 5 petal flowers, these can be made with paper or material such as silk. it will all work out the same.
use your scissors to cut out one petal by cutting on either side of that petal to the center of the flower.
add some small beads or a mini clothespin to the center and there ya go! your own handmade butterfly!
Tussies, tussies, and more tussies
I know i have become quite addicted to these little treasures! I hope you have too. So today i started a few new tussies. I forgot to take pics of the tp roll before i covered it, so here are the pics from after i covered them with my images...
There are many different methods to adhere your images. I chose to use hot glue to seat the ends down. you could use mod podge, pva, tape runner, atg gun, score tape, any of these will do just fine. Next i just played around with my decorations and embellishments until i liked the way they looked...
Now you glue down your pretties and you will have a beautiful tussie to fill to the brim with goodies for whomever your recipient is...
stay tuned for the easy tutorial on my handmade butterflies! by the way my camera has the date messed up. lol
