I enjoyed creating the Milk & Cream Co. sign so much, I thought I’d create another dairy sign. I decided to look for another design to put on it. I searched the internet for inspiration and came across this antique business card. I love the various font styles on it. {source} Once again, I removed the background and removed some of the wording, to come up with this image. This design proved to be very tricky for the Silhouette {Read More}
Milk and Cream Co. Sign
February 18, 2013 by 30 Comments
I’m usually pretty happy if a project turns out close to what I’ve envisioned in my mind, but every once in awhile, a project turns out even better than I’d hoped. This is one of those rare projects. I was inspired by a Milk and Cream Co. image that I found on Pinterest. I never could find determine who the original source of the image was, but I love the font and simple wording, and based on the concept, I made this {Read More}
My First Silhouette Project

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m feeling like one today. I made this…yes, I did! Now, this might not sound like a huge deal, but I’m going to tell you why it’s such a huge deal to me. Bear with me, because this gets a little long-winded – but for once, I actually remembered to photo-document the process, step by step. You see, it all started last summer, when I went to visit my {Read More}

I am SOOO not a morning person. Don’t get me wrong, I love mornings. I love the fresh air, the dew on the grass, and early morning sun is so gorgeous. The only thing I don’t like about morning, is how early it comes. I’m at my most productive self in the middle of the night. Every good idea I’ve ever had came in the middle of the night. That becomes a problem when you need to get up early {Read More}
Milk & Cream Sign with CeCe Caldwell Paint

Last month when I celebrated my one year blog anniversary, I hosted a giveaway for my blogger friend, Shelly @ Shizzle Design, who is a retailer for CeCe Caldwell paint. Everybody and their mother wanted to try that paint and entered the giveaway. The problem with hosting giveaways, is you can’t enter yourself, so I was a little envious of the winner. Shelly must have been reading my thoughts because she recently asked me if I’d like to try some to {Read More}
Dairy Sign Shelf – Milkin’ It for All it’s Worth
July 7, 2012 by 24 Comments
Last year I created this sign our of wood salvaged from a broken dresser. The dresser cost me a whoppin’ $5 and I sold all the drawers that were in it, but I was left with the pretty piece of wood from the bottom of the dresser, which was perfect for creating a sign. It’s been sitting in a corner, unhung, ever since we moved into our new house last fall, because I didn’t want to hang any kitchen decor {Read More}
A Dairy Sign
September 5, 2011 by 22 Comments
I came across a dresser in a thrift store that was broken and had a $5 price tag. The drawers were lovely, with 8 great handles on them, so I was getting my money’s worth just in handles. This piece was at the bottom of the dresser. Really pretty scalloped shape. I painted it Delicate White. I knew I wanted to turn it into a sign,but I kid you not,I spent the next 2 hours trying to decide what to put on {Read More}
