wood flooring

I found out our rent house has wood flooring underneath the carpet!  I was so excited I took the carpet up this weekend to see what it looked like.  Ok a little overwhelming but I was excited to see all the wood was there!  Yes that's paint...and lots of it!  I ended up using TSP to get the paint off and did some sanding...good to go!  I started with a Minwax walnut stain but it was too light to cover up all the imperfections of the wood so I darkened it with Minwax Bombay mahogany.  It's turning out nice!  I will take a picture when it's all done!


The really light area is wood putty I put on a section that had dry wall paste on it.  The putty soaked in the stain really well!

fall decor

Here are a couple pics of the fall decor I put out in the front.  The wreath was just wrapped with brown material and then I glued felt flowers.  Bought a cute table for $10 at a garage sale too!  Happy fall ya'll!!

Wheat Pillow

I saw a blog where they spray painted a pillow cover  V and Co. so I decided to try it.  Now I'm addicted to freezer paper!  Yikes!  It came out really well and so I'm going to try to do some different lamp shades.  Happy Fall (in a month)!!!

Chevron Pillow and Fall Decor

So I had some time today in between studying for my first 2 exams and thought I would do some craftiness for fall.  It was 70 degrees this morning!!!  It felt like heaven!  Hopefully it will last for a while!


NO sew pillow cover.  Just used Heat n Bond and a ridiculous jersey shirt my hubby had for the chevron pattern


Not good lighting but you get the idea

Frame from thrift store that I painted green and pumpkins are from the Dollar Tree.

I painted an old frame and put dried corn, lentils and split peas in the glass bowls.

Lederhosen, Key Chain and Dog Collar

It's almost been a month since my last blog.  I have been making some things, just not taking any pictures! 
I have a really good friend that is moving to Germany so I wanted to make something for her little boy.  I found a picture of a Lederhosen onesie online and I had to make one!!!
My friend loses her keys a lot in her huge luggage bag purse and so I thought I would make a fabric key chain so it's easier to find them.  Then I made a cute little dog collar for her cute doggie!
Email me at debsuescreations@gmail.com if you are interested in any of these.  God bless!!!
