Using Up Canvas

Do you ever walk past the same scene day after day and suddenly realize that it needs to be updated?

This little girl is keeping us at home more since the vet told us no beach and no contact with other dogs for another 8 weeks.

After her outing to the vet, Lulu was tuckered out so she slept in the garage with me while I created something to replace the American flag wreath on the door.

I dug out some heavy canvas from my stash of Steve's scraps and sewed up a little bag.

My original plan was to do a reverse stencil with the words, but I couldn't find any alphabet stickers the right size.

I traced around metal letters with pencil and decided that for this little project, a Sharpie would work just fine.

Some thin lines were added for detail and then my bag was complete.

I broke my August rule of using what I have by purchasing the dried yellow flowers at Michael's.

Ribbon ties the bouquet together and the bee clothespin keeps the bag from falling open.

A quick little project adds some yellow to the front door.

Do you think when people drive down our lane they can tell that we like primary colors?
