Monogram Madness- Part 3
Ok, just so you know and as promised, the madness is REALLY stopping here! I have not changed my mind and decided to add a Part 4, even though I am admittedly tempted.

Yes, my creative friends, the madness continues… I am completely out of control to say the least. As you can see in the above picture, I have monogrammed almost everything possible (placemats, pillows, napkins, dishtowels, etc…) and I just can’t stop.

Blinged Out Candles…
Moving right along… For our next idea and inspiration I offer up to you– blinged out candles, like the ones I made in all the pictures above. I love candles. A lot. They’re just one of those little luxuries (aside from beer) that can instantly bring me calmness. During my visit to New York City last spring, I had the…

Grain and Feed Sack Upholstery……
Let’s just jump right in…… Over the last year or so, I have been obsessed with screen print/ stamping/ embellishing on fabric like pillows, chairs, the wall, the dogs, anything….you get it…. The madness started last year when I saw the most fabulous distressed gold stamped monogrammed pillows in the Neiman’s catalog that STARTED at almost $500.00. They were not…
