Vintage favorites of the day!

 This quilt is one of my favorites passed down to me.

 My great aunt made it when she was 16yrs old.

                                  A dress and christening gown that I wore when I was a baby.

This is the piano that I played growing up

        it came from my great grandfather who was a concert pianist.

Have a great day my friends!

                                                       The day finally came!
We had talked about making a demo but there was a list of things that had to fall into place before this could happen.

                                                   Have a great week from all of us "Imagine"

Marbled pumpkins

Good Morning!

Since we are well into fall and close to Halloween

 I have a craft idea for you. 

Beautiful marbled pumpkins!

 

 

 Pumpkin Marbling Supplies

• Mini pumpkins – Look for pumpkins that have a stem, it makes it easier to dip them. I found mine at Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find white, just spray paint some orange ones. I like this white flat spray primer.
• Nail polish – I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Nail Polish. Not all nail polish brands will work. The Sally Hansen brand is known to be one of the best brands when it comes to nail marbling which uses a very similar technique.
• Water Container – Make sure it’s deep enough to fully submerge a mini pumpkin.
• Room Temperature Water
• Toothpicks
• Q-Tips
• Gloves (optional) – these are good to use if you can’t find pumpkins with long stems).

 Ok now you're ready, here are the Directions!

1. Fill a container with room temperature water. It’s important the water is room temperature so the polish can spread easily.
2. Open the polishes that you’ll be using. You need to work fast. I used 3-4 colors on each pumpkin.
3. Make sure the room you’re working in is well ventilated!!
4. With the nail polish brush close to the water, shake the brush and let the polish fall into the water. Be sure the brush is close to the water otherwise the polish will sink to the bottom.
5. Add additional colors and work quickly before the polish can dry.
6. Holding the pumpkin by the stem, submerge the pumpkin into the water. It’s best to dunk the pumpkin sideways if you can otherwise most of the polish will end up on the bottom of the pumpkin.
7. Once the pumpkin is covered, remove it from the water. You can wipe away any excess polish that is hanging off the pumpkin with a Q-Tip.
8. I dried my pumpkins on a piece of foam board I had but you could use wax paper with cardboard underneath. It took about an hour for them to fully dry. The bottom of the pumpkin took the longest.
9. To clean the water before you marble the next pumpkin, simply take a Q-Tip and move it around the surface of the water to collect any leftover polish.

Happy Fall Crafting!
