knitting, creating, and loving life in the Midwest
If you’ve spent any time on the blogosphere, you’ve surely come across Lisa Leonard and her fabulous designs.
If you follow her on Facebook as I do, you’ve seen pictures of her lovely family and all their adventures, and guess what? They are going to have their own reality show! Wanna check out the trailer?
Lisa’s sweet spirit comes across her posts, and I for one can’t wait to see the new show!
This past weekend, my husband made an awesome sign for Halloween.
Although, considering how crazy we tend to get around the holidays, I might be keeping that sign up for a while 😀
The backing is an old puzzle tray we had, pieces had gone missing long ago but the tray itself was perfect for this project. Steve added plain thumbtacks, then cut out the letters from foam – yes, by hand, I keep entering those Silhouette giveaways but haven’t won one yet – and then glued them to the frame. The first coat of spray was a metallic copper, then he did a wash with black paint so the pigment would settle into the crevices, and finally he added some greenish paint for a rusted, patina look.
I think he did such a great job!!! He has a lot more planned for our front yard but we wanted to share this bit for now.
So creepy!!!
