Independence Day is just around the corner, so I’ve made a centerpiece that I’d like to share with you.
It’s easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:

diy Hat Pins-tutorial
In the previous post, Diy Pin Cushion-tutorial, I used Hat Pins to adorn them.
Decorative hat pins are very easy to make.
Diy Pin Cushions – tutorial
Pin cushions are a must in any sewing room. They can be very expensive if bought in a conventional store. But they’re very easy to make yourself. And when you make your own, you can customize them to the way you like them. They can be as fancy or streamlined as you choose. Shabby Chic, floral, animal prints, plain, it’s up to you! That’s the beauty of making your own.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
Sewing Room Upper Cabinet Re-Do
The sewing room is coming along. There’s a new addition to the room that gives me even more storage. (which in a 6′ x 7′ room, you need storage)
We got this upper cabinet from my mother-in-law. (Her neighbor had given it to her when the redid their kitchen) It was in good shape. Although it only had one door, but that is fine. It just needed a little ‘Creatively Sams’ added to it.
Here it is, before & after:
Lighthouse Napkin Holders
I found these little lighthouses at the Dollar Tree.
They are adorable, but they don’t exactly match my plates.
And you know my motto by now. If it isn’t exactly what you want, change it to make it yours! Continue reading

Since I have so many shells that I was collecting for my Playing in the Sand post, I thought I’d use them for yet another project. This time I decided to try a Sea Shell Wreath shape for my centerpiece. I like the way it turned out.

Shabby Chic Ornament Frames
I wanted to make a special gift for a friend’s grand-daughter’s first birthday. And since I always have Christmas on my mind, I thought that a Christmas ornament that was personalized would be a nice gift. I wanted it to be a ‘girly-girl’ gift, so I went with Shabby Chic. And while I was at it, I may as well make more than one. It’s always nice to have extra gifts on hand. Well, this is what I made:
And this is how I made them:
Wooden Desk Organizer
I found this little wooden desk organizer at the local thrift shop about 6 months ago. I put it on our bookcase, on our desk, in the craft room, & back on the bookcase. It just didn’t fit our decor. But what to do with it? I liked it, but brown wood just doesn’t fit in our home. It was sitting on my desk, and I was just staring at it. I knew it would come to me, eventually. Then it hit me. It needed painted…. and mirrors. This is the before & the after.
And this is how I did it:
Scatter Candle – tutorial
I recently went to the Dollar Tree to get a replacement for a candle holder goblet that had been broken. When I was looking around, I’d noticed that they had just gotten in an entirely new line of glass candle holders. When I saw these square candle holders with straight sides, I just had to have them. I’d seen something similar years ago, and I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it ever since. And now that my flat backed glass table scatter collection has grown, (there are so many beautiful colors now) I was ready!
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own: Continue reading

As promised, here’s the tutorial for the Pearl Napkin Rings that were used in the Yellow Tablescape. They’re easy to make, use very little supplies, and can be customized to match the color theme of your tablescape.
