Shabby chic Witches hat

I altered this witches hat to where to the Bethel show on Oct. 3rd. I will be going as a shabby chic whitch. I covered it in muslin first.

Then I covered it in this beautiful lace. Then started to embellish it.

This is the front of the hat. I got this very pretty lace and pearls off of a top.

This is on the one side of the hat. Lace flowers, clock, pearls, feathers and a brooch.

On the other side, a rhinestone pin, flower and some buttons.

A grouping of a flower and some buttons.

A picture of the finished hat. The trim I got at hobby lobby, it is very pretty.

This is a better picture of the trim, and it has pearls also on it. So that is my shabby chic hat. My outfit will be this color with lots of lace trim. I will be posting pictures of the whole outfit and show after the 3rd of Oct. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Altered projects

I have been busy making things for the "Witches of Bethel" Antique & Artisan Sale, Oct. 3rd. It is a great show. These are two of my waterless snow globes.

A Halloween cloche I made.

A altered box I did. I painted the box black, and decorated the top with a skeleton head and a top hat, a hand, and a rat and some other embellishments.

The inside top of the lid.

And this is on the bottom of the inside. Very spooky.

Altered things I made

This is a clip board I altered. I am getting ready for the Witches of  Bethel  Antique & Artisan Sale, Oct. 3rd. in Bethel, Pa. It is a great show.

I also did two boxes with seashells on the top. This is the first one I did.

And this is the second one I did.

I had this old book and did a old shoe, a bear, a tree and some other embellishments on it.

I made these snowmen and snow women. After I decorated them I covered them in mica.

This is a close up of the one pair.

This is a Halloween cloche I did. I think it turned out well.

This book is like the Christmas book, but it is a Halloween spooky book

More garden pictures of 2015

I got this chair from the trash. It was ugly brown. I painted it white and distressed it. It is ni my flower garden, with flowers on the seat and a birdhouse. In front of it is one of my watering cans.

This is a vignette beside my shed.

Here are the baby robins. Three hatched Memorial Day and one hatched  the next day.

This is the second one to leave and it sit in the garden for a little.

My gardens of 2015

Things I have been making

This is a bracelet I did.

I always wanted to make a shadow box like this. I added scrapbook paper to the back and printed a picture from the computer and added. I also stained the box, walnut. Added that beautiful lace and the antique doll that I got at an auction. The baby shoe filled with a tiny teddy bear and a lace doily, pearls and a clock face. 

This is the top of the box.

This is a spool I did, I added feathers to the hat and embellished it with lace and flowers.

This is a close up of the bottom.

I had these boxes that someone gave me, they were very country. So I papered them with wallpaper I had left over from my bedroom. Added lace and lace doily's and buttons and a flower.

This is more of the boxes. I had six of them.

And some more. They are very victorian.

Altered things I made

These are the latest baby shoes I altered. I added lace and pearls and a picture in each one that I printed  off the computer. My boss at work, got me these shoes at a thrift store. They aren't what I wanted, but I did them.

 

I bought this handbag at a thrift shop. It was all white, and I started adding doily's to it, and also different kind of laces, pearls and rhinestones and some white roses. This is the one side of it. The next picture is of the other side.
