fun, easy window treatment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is made
with two different fabrics so you can change the look of a room in flash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Instructions to attach a lining to protect the shade from the sun is also included. </span></span></span></div>

change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shade is attached to tension
rods adjusted to the inside width of your window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply move the rods closer or further apart
to change the look of the shade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
mounting is not permanent and will not damage the wood on the window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is made for an inside mount window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What this means is the shade will be inserted
in the inside of the window casing. In this example, I have used cotton quilt fabric by designer <a href="http://www.joeldewberry.com/" target="_blank">Joel Dewberry.</a> This fabric is from his Modern Meadow collection in the Pond Pallete.</span></span></div>

I will not lie. I started it a year ago and just finished. However, it really doesn't take that long to make one. A weekend will do! If you take a look at my shops, you will know why it took me so long to make this for my family. I stuffed the pillow, but left it open just to test to see if I need to add more fill. This is a great floor pillow for the kids or adults. I love to put it on my couch and sink right into it. You will fall asleep in no time!<br />
<br />
I followed this <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/07/jelly-roll-floor-pillows.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> and used scraps of fabrics I had left over from my many projects. I hope this will inspire you to make one of your own. YOU CAN DO IT! <br />

<br />
This was one project I didn't want to take on. I have so many cabinets and these cabinets are 22 years old. The original cabinets were oak. I attempted to stain them a few years ago with sanding and a black stain. That didn't work so after having my family complain about the look of the black cabinets, I discovered <a href="http://www.rustoleum.com/project-catalog/kitchen/cabinet-transformations-submitted-by-gs/" target="_blank">RustOleum Cabinet Transformations.</a> I purchased the kit at my local Home Depot at a cost of $84. I had 40 black cabinet doors and draws to refinish. The kit calls for finishing the front and back of the doors. I did not do this. The kit contains 2 quarts of the top coat which was tinted to the linen color. <br />
<br />
After first lightly sanding my doors (the instructions indicate that you do not have to do this, but they were black), then applying the de-glosser, I applied 3 coats of the top coat. After allowing that to dry, I applied the glaze. I will admit I did make one mistake. When I did my test for the glaze on one of the door fronts, I did not stir the can of glaze. This resulted in a light brown color glaze. When I watched the you-tube video on tips and techniques, I realized I didn't stir the glaze. So I went back and did so, this resulted in a blackish grey look to the glaze, which I did not like with the linen in my kitchen. This may be perfectly fine for other kitchens or the look you want. Make sure you test the glaze technique on the back side of one of your doors before applying to the outside of your project.<br />
<br />
After allowing for the glaze to dry, I applied the top sealer coat, which was the easiest part. This doesn't show any imperfections at all. <br />
<br />
In Summary, this is a great project if you want to give your kitchen a fresh new look. There are many colors to choose from. The project is a long process and one that you really want to take your time doing. If you have to do this in a garage, the weather must be warm. This shouldn't be done in cold weather areas. Basically, each step was done as a day-long process. It took me about 3 weekends with my family helping to complete. To avoid mistakes and rushing, it is best to take your time. As you feel overwhelmed about the number of steps to do, take it one day at a time. You will love the end result. Here is the you-tube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duvE_NqdV4" target="_blank">Cabinet Restoration.</a><br />
<br />
I also covered by dishwasher with a stainless steel roll application I found on Amazon for $20. The results was excellent! See the final picture.<br />

<br />
How will you be successful with any business you own and operate.. you always have to stay ahead of the curve. Just because you do one thing and it is successful, doesn't mean that is always going to be a successful venture. You always have to be on top of what is trending, what is happening with the economy and try to figure out what you can do to be a success in business and you will be most importantly HAPPY doing it.<br />
<br />
If you are not getting sales in your shop, take a close look at your shop. Is it because of your listings, photographs or tags or is it because the things you are selling are just not what your target market is interested in buying. <br />
<br />
Most importantly, you must have be happy with what you are doing. If you have something in your shop that you are making and selling 100's of, are you really happy make that one item over and over. I wouldn't be...<br />
<br />
You don't have to have 100 + listings either. If you make a good-quality product and have 10 of them, then they will sell! <br />
<br />
Most importantly you must love it and it must be your passion!AggieRayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397560665683899629noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902112954277872816.post-9800441364663898452013-09-01T10:48:00.001-07:002013-09-01T10:48:35.932-07:00Upcycle! Keep it and Renew it!Just finished working on this slipcover for a friend of mine. I added an additional design element to the bottom that I had not done before. It is simply a Boxing Band 8" high x width of the piece around the bottom sides and back. It is a great way to pull the slip cover together in the end when things are not so perfect above. Covers up all the imperfections. Let me know if you have any questions. Now to start with the Wing Chair.. pictures to follow!<br />

So BeautifulI cannot get enough of this beautiful ribbon. My mind is spinning with all the possibilities to use this ribbon. I <span style="background-color: yellow;">designed </span>this latest handbag using the Alchemy Ribbon by Renaissance Ribbons. <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/ribbon.php" target="_blank">Amy Butler</a> is not the only designer to have new ribbons out, check out the beautiful designs by <a href="http://www.annamariahorner.com/productribbon.html" target="_blank">Anna Maria Horner</a> and <a href="http://www.kaffefassett.com/Home.html" target="_blank">Kaffe Fassett</a>!<br />
<br />
I will be releasing this sewing pattern within the next couple of weeks. Probably in two different sizes. This bag is a beautiful bag that I don't want to give up. I am planning on keeping this one!<br />
<br />
The fabric used for this bag was Alchemy Fabric called <span itemprop="name">Queen Ann's Butterflies in Topaz by <a href="http://www.fabricplace.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Amy Butler</a> together with Belle Blue Corriander by <a href="http://www.fabricplace.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Amy Butler!</a></span><br />

Simply plant in full sun and watch them take off. There are two types of peonies found in the home landscape, <i>Paeonia</i> spp. hybrids (garden peony) and <i>Paeonia suffruticosa </i>(tree peony). <br />
<br />
The best time to plant them are in the early fall, with transplanting and dividing the bulbs done during that time also. Young bulbs take a few years to become a full bush. Don't be disappointed the first few years after planting your bulbs, it will take a few years for them to become large bushes. After they have developed, you can split the bulbs in the fall and plant in new locations. The more splitting, the more blooms. I bought these bulbs at Walmart 2 years ago for less than $5.00. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful plants. If they don't come up in one location, transplant them in fall to a new sunny location. They do require full sun to partial sun. After a few years, if you notice low blooms, divide and transplant your plants to a new location. Make sure you support your Peonies prior to blooming. <br />
<br />
They are a heavy flower and if you have a lot of rain in the spring, you will find them resting on the ground. I tied tulle around the stems prior to the blooming. String may cut into the stem. <br />
<br />
Deadhead the blooms after they begin to fade. Cut the foliage to the ground in the fall to avoid winter damage.<br />

I was excited to be contacted by the Art Director at <a href="http://www.blendfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Blend Fabrics llc</a> stating that she loved my Aggie Wristlet Clutch Pattern which can be found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AggieRay?section_id=6161902" target="_blank">here</a> and pillow collections <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AggieRay?section_id=5917869" target="_blank">here</a>. She indicated that <a href="http://www.annagriffin.com/" target="_blank">Anna Griffin</a> was attending the Spring 2013 Quilt Market show and needed items to put in her booth.<br />
<br />
Of course, I said yes and was anticipating the arrival of this beautiful fabric <a href="http://blendfabrics.com/gallery/sardinia">Sardinia</a>. The package arrived with a beautiful array of fabrics. I love working with beautiful fabrics which aspire you to create new beautiful pieces.<br />

One more week my son is getting married. I have been working on various projects with my future daughter-in-law, to help save money for the wedding. One of them is this beautiful cake stand. I cannot wait to see the actual cake on top of it! This was a great easy project, but it did take some time trying to find materials to work with to build the stand, nothing I couldn't find at my local Home Depot store and Michael's Craft Store! More pictures from the wedding to follow!<br />

Most of the State of Rhode Island is without power. The snow is a serious problem with getting the electricity restored. The snow has to be cleared, trees cut and then the electric crews can get to the source. It was a very peaceful walk this morning. I was able to let the dogs run free because no vehicles are allowed on the roads right now. Here are the pictures.<br />

<br />
Yes this pattern is available in my shop <a href="http://www.aggieray.etsy.com/" target="_blank">www.AggieRay.etsy.com.</a> This pattern comes in three sizes and this is the middle size. I fell in love with Joel Dewberry's new Notting Hill line. This is made with Joel Dewberry's Notting Hill Kaleidoscope Tangerine shown here: <a href="http://www.joeldewberry.com/pages/notting-hill-tangerine-quilting-fashion-weight" target="_blank">http://www.joeldewberry.com/pages/notting-hill-tangerine-quilting-fashion-weight</a>. I have had request to make these clutches for wedding parties. They are a great size and with the endless fabrics available, you can have this as a wedding party gift or design them to match your wedding party dresses!<br />

There is nothing more special than a puppy. I have two Goldens now and they have completely changed our lives, for the better. When you come home, they are the first to greet you at the door with all their love and energy and they are soooooooooooo happy to see you. Here are few pictures of my beautiful boys.<br />

Who doesn't love coming home to the wonderful smell of a home cooked meal. I love using the crockpot and I have been on a search to try new recipes beyond the chicken and beef I usually plop in and add vegetables. I came across this recipe on Pinterest <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/262334747016420895/" target="_blank">http://pinterest.com/pin/262334747016420895/</a> and decided to give it a try. I adapted some of the ingredients and had to adapt the lasagna noodles to fit my crockpot. We don't all have these oblong ones. I simply broke the noodles in half or in quarters and layered them to fit the pot. I also purchased a small Portobello mushroom package and used half of that simply make small sliced pieces. The entire prep took about 15 minutes.<br />

Here is a link to the original recipe. <a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/crockpot_lasagna.html" target="_blank">http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/crockpot_lasagna.html</a> I changed the recipe a bit, making it a little easier. I bought frozen spinach and zucchini. I partially cooked it in the microwave and drained the excess water. I had on hand minced garlic in a jar. I also could not find whole wheat lasagna noodles and replaced those with the original lasagna noodles.<br />
<br />
The total cost of all the ingredients was $23, including a loaf of Italian Bread. I am sure this would feed at least 5 people and will make a great left over.<br />
