Sherbet Pips Baby Quilt

Yes, I am just as much in love with this fabric as everyone else! Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey. I love the darling puppies and the children on swing sets and scooters. Adorable.





I mixed in some other fabrics for the border and the binding. There are not a lot of fabric stores in beautiful Tucson, but luckily I was able to stock up on some items at Scrapbooks, Etc. in Mesa. They have some adorable Moda fabrics.



Happy sewing!

How To Remove Paint From Hardware

Image
Materials: Citristrip Stripping Gel  Wash Cloth  Zipper plastic food storage bag  Paper towel  Steel wool scrubbing pad  Washcloth  Small plastic bucket  Plastic gloves  Tools:  Drill or screwdriver  Is your fixer upper full of lazily-painted cabinets, where no one bothered to protect the hinges from paint? Is it just me, or does it drive you crazy too? Here's an easy and non-smelly way to remove paint from your cabinet hardware. Step 1:  Remove hardware from your cabinets  Remove hinges, etc. from your cabinets using a drill or screwdriver  Seriously?  Step 2:  Put your hardware in a plastic food storage bag, then pour in some Citristrip.  You don't really need a ton of gel.

Materials: 1/4" thick, 4x8 sheet of plywood, cut into 3 1/2" strips the long way (I used  this  from Lowes)  Liquid Nails Caulk w/Caulk Gun  Sanding Sponge  Wood Filler  6" foam roller  2" Angled Paint Brush  1/2" Angled Paint Brush  Primer  Paint  Plastic Drop Cloth  Painter's Tape  New Hardware (knob or pull)  Tools:  Miter Saw Brad Nailer with 1" finishing nails Pencil  Level  Tape Measure  Drill  A Second Pair of Hands (I used my trusty husband)  Step 1:  Cut your plywood into 3 1/2" strips the long way  A very nice employee at Lowe's did this for me. Were they cut perfectly? No. But after caulk, and paint, you really couldn't see the imperfections.  You will need about 8 strips or less.  Note: There are two sizes to the plywood: One is more smooth, the other has knots. I used the smooth side because I didn't want the knots to show....

How To Paint Laminate Countertops To Look Like Stone

Image
Materials: Sanding Sponge  Rag Paper towels  Painters tape  Drop cloth  Primer  Craft paint (I used black, metallic white, metallic gold, and maroon)  2 small paint foam roller Small paint synthetic roller   Paint tray  Gloves  Paper plates  3-4 artist sponges  Finishing sponge  Angled paint brush  Foam paint brush  Minwax Polycrylic   Tools:  Artistic ability, I guess.  I really wanted to paint this orange countertop a different color, but I didn't want to pay $70-$100 for one of the kits on the market. So I recreated the look with primer, craft paint, and sponges. It was pretty painless. The end result isn't perfect, but I like it. I had a lot of the materials already on hand. After I bought craft paint, sponges, and polycrylic, this project ended up costing about $30. Step 1:  Sand laminate surface gently with sanding sponge.   Man hands, am I right...
