This weekend I spent trying to finish up on some crafts for next weeks show.
I am trying to fill in some things to replace the frames that I am no longer making. The only bad thing is some of them may not find their way to the show!
Here is a little sneaky peaky..
I have had this little tin basket thingy for a long time and never knew what to do with it.
So I took a page from Miss Mustard Seed Creations and all her German Glass goodness
Miss Mustard Seed
and created some sparkly little magnet letters and tied some pieces of silver and gold ribbon to the basket handles.
Super easy and it really is fun glittering things!
Hey, guess what else I played around with........
chicken wire!!!!!!
I shaped the wire into a tree form and wrapped a pip berry garland around it
and topped it with a burlap bow!
Good thing is still have another 3 yards of chicken wire left!!
I had fun making these little burlap flowers and will show you what I did with them next time!
I am also addicted to making signs!!
Did you see my friend Tracy's, at Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures?
Isn't it great!!
She did an amazing job and she has become addicted as well!
There are so many great signs out there and can't wait to share some of mine!
Partying with the gals in my linky tab!!!
Check 'em out!

I love the tree with the burlap bow. Oh my goodness. I was looking at something similar yesterday to come up with some ideas. Thank you for the inspiration!
I've always wanted to make a burlap wreath with little bows like that! I may have to try it!
Your tree is really adorable and love that brush your teeth sign.

Hi Michelle, I love how your little noel basket thingy turned out...glitter is fun! I love signs too..and am in the process of making one...it's drying ; ) Stacey
Great ideas! I, too, love the little tree you made out of wire... looks great!
Michelle! You are so super talented girl! I especially love the newest chicken wire creation! I was thinking how you have a beautiful wintery color pallette going with those white feather trees you did and these silvery sparkly lovelies! I'm falling asleep every night dreaming about how I'm going to decorate this year! :-)

Oh I love your tin! I may have to steal this idea with all those buckets I have. The wire tree is really cute too. Hmmm, maybe I can combine the two. :)
You are so creative Michelle. Looks like giving up the "frames" part of the crafting is agreeing with you.

Seriously.....you are THE next Martha Stewart in my book, girl......
lol!

Love the chicken wire tree. I love using chicken wire for projects. I will have to try this one. Your burlap flowers are looking great. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Keep the good ideas coming!
Cute stuff Michelle! I would have to keep the glitter noel basket though...too cute! ~Deb~
I hope you were wearing gloves this time with that chicken wire - I've heard it's a bit scratchy.....
LOVE that wire/branch tree.
You are the Christmas Tree lady!
Love the sparkle you added to the tin Michelle! And what a neat sign your friend did..."brush your teeth" that is too cute!
One can never have enough signs! lol, my motto!!
Cute! Just got me excited about the holidays.
I forgot to say in my last comment that I used to have one of those metal planteer things....and I threw it away. I've been kicking myself repeatedly since I saw yours. Grrr.....
By the way, what date is your birthday?

I love your new Christmas inspirations! I am already thinking about it myself! I hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie

Chicken wire, metal baskets... isn't it sweet how country things & coastal things often go hand in hand? Lovely simplicity.
I LOVE your chicken wire trees so much!! They are perfect!! Rustic and a little bit sparkley!
Your chicken wire tree is amazing. I love the MMS "knockoff". Shh, I plan on doing that, too. Did you buy the glass glitter, or use something else.
What a gret idea to use chicken wire for a cute little tree!! Glad I found your wonderful blog!
Michelle, I ADORE your christmas projects. So, so cute!! Gets me in the mood for my favorite time of year!
Gorgeous and simple at the same time! Just lovely.
