Bow Tie

There is just something about a bow tie that I love.  So whipped some up!  Pretty much followed the pattern I found here.  I also bought some bow tie kits to make some of them adjustable.  There are so many great fabrics out there... now I just need someone to give them to!

Cheers!

Brush Embroidery Cookies

Tried my hand again doing the brush embroidery technique.  Next time I will thin my royal icing a bit, so I might be able to see more of the brush strokes.  Was a touch too dry I believe.

 

 

 

 

So many beautiful examples out there, I will just keep at it!

DeckOver Paint

Just applied the new DeckOver sold by Home Depot.

Here is a before shot.

 

The deck pressure washed.

 

 

After one coat of DeckOver.

This product requires 2 coats.  I have to go back for 2 more cans, but it already looks and feels so much better!  

You can choose from 54 colors with this product so it will match about anything!  I picked Pyramid color.

Will update again after the 2nd coat.

UPDATED:  2 coats.
