Meet Stephanie of OldSoulStyle ~

I am Stephanie and I make a variety of paper creations and jewelry. I started making and creating at a very young age because as a child I refused to just sit around and play with toys. I asked for craft kits for every special occasion. At age thirteen, I received a scrapbook kit and fell in love! I have been making paper crafts ever since and I really enjoy making cards and tags.

I started making jewelry with my Mom a couple of years ago
and that became a component of my shop.

Inspired by so many things and my inspirations
are constantly changing.

I love anything that is or appears to be vintage or old.

I also am drawn to birds, flowers, and unique patterns.

Most recently, I began making miniature envelopes as a way to recycle my scrap paper and they became a surprise success in my shop. As a result, I am now selling sets of envelopes in various themes and colors.

Meet Michelle and her shop MORE THAN COLORS.

"I am a stained glass artist and I just love working and creating with glass! I was trained about 12 years ago, taught this art in the French Alps and now have an online store on Etsy. I do both the traditional lead technique and the Tiffany method. I often add silver-plated embellishments and Swarovski crystals to enhance their beauty! Tree Toppers, Snowflakes and Business Card Holders have been my biggest sellers this Christmas Season!"

Hymn Heart Box

Let's take some home decor high gloss paint and transform these lovely textured heart boxes into magnificent beauty! Top glossed over with 1918 Hymn music sheet. Words of blessing from the "Lord, I Hear Showers Of Blessing" by Elizabeth Codner. If only it were a music box, the tune would be so lovely and full of blessings for those who open the heart box.

Inside the box is lined with red felt and many little small keepsakes can be stored safely away.

Item can be found at TheMillersHouse on Etsy.

Ornaments at BethsCottage

I love Christmas and really enjoy the crafts that I find this time of year. Today we are featuring ornaments and handcrafted Christmas decorations by Angie at BethsCottage on Etsy.

What started out as a hobby turned into small business on Etsy. Angie loves to paint and will do so on any kind of surface. Right now she is into Christmas ornaments. BethsCottage has several different kinds from glass balls to ceramic pieces. Angie has painted on canvas, wood, fabric and metal and have created some wonderful cutout gourds. She really is up for trying anything new! :) Her latest wonderful creation is a candle wreath centerpiece perfect for any dining room table.

Stop by and let BethsCottage know that you found her through TheMillersHouse blogspot!

Retro-Spective

Hello Boldness!

Here is an experiment turned amazing! I had long considered working on my own style of apron design and worked on something that I could transform a lovely vintage tablecloth with square lined corners into an apron for homesteading.

Keeping the corner of the apron by aligning the squared lines was a bit tricky, but once you have your tablecloth ironed out, it is much easier to lay down your pattern for a symmetrical look. I added a few extra large stretch corduroy yoyos to give the effect of large front buttons.

Here is the result!

This beauty can be found on Etsy.

Tidy Up The Kitchen

I recently decided to work on a project that is just too practical. Let's tidy up unseemly shopping bags into these disposable bag dispensers. Real quick and easy on sewing some dishcloths to match your kitchen motif.

Both of these can be found in my Etsy shop.

Pleasure Pillows

Do your cats have a special place for all their toys? We keep our toys in a small clothes basket ... mind you, it's not full of toys. But every night, they knock over their basket and spread toys all over the house. I only wish I could train them to pick up their toys! ;)

Well, after inspecting the sad state of some of the catnip critters ... some have lost eyes and tails and ... what was that thing? Some are barely recognizable! LOL I have decided to give them a few simple pleasures. Nothing fancy, but full of fun. This year, we are to simplify.


Oh yes! Cats go batty over these little pyramids filled with catnip ... Puur-eeoow! Can you just see your cat doing the bunny kick on this?
