Make It // Wood Mushrooms

This is my first Make It of 2012! I'm going to show you how to make 

cute little wood mushrooms! They are easy to make and look adorable on bookshelves.

We like to call them bookshelf enhancers. 

Let's get started!

You will need:

wood candle cup (available in craft stores)

wood split ball (available in craft stores)

Glue

White paint marker

paint brush

acrylic paint

1. First we are going to glue the split ball to the candle cup. 

Let it dry for a few minutes. 

2. Get your acrylic paint and start painting the top of your mushroom.

Let it dry and add a second coat. 

3. After the paint is dry it's time to add dots to the mushroom top

with your paint marker.

That's it! We're done! So simple and speedy to make. 

These little guys are ready to look cute on your shelves! 

Happy Making!

The new home

We are COMPLETELY done with moving! Riley and I were hard at work all day yesterday and today's result: no boxes to trip over!! YAY!!!
It feels great to finally be comfy in the new house. We still have some things we want to make and hang up but that'll come soon.
Let's take a little tour around our little cozy home, shall we?

I had to get rid of a lot of books since the bookshelf is smaller than I'd like.

My toys!

The Kitchen:

Our new awesome dish towel from Utilitarianfranchise.etsy.com

My craft room:
(sorry the picture is so dark!)

I'm waiting for the prints I ordered on etsy to arrive, so for now, my wall looks awkward.

The adorable wooden mushrooms were a christmas gift from Riley. He found them at craftsty.etsy.com
And these little crochet cactuses from catzillacrafts.etsy.com have traveled with me through 2 moves! I don't think I can have a house without them!

My sewing corner!

The Bedroom:

My accessories corner.


We also have a laundry room but I'm sure you don't care to see that.
And that's our home so far!
