Be The Good...

Over the weekend I had a conversation with my girl, Kelly. She shed some light on how I've been living just getting ready to move again. How true, I thought. Nothing went up on the walls in Maryland and Virginia. When I told her that I wasn't going to do anything to our new house because we were going to be moving to GERMANY next August, she gave me the face. You know the one.... the disappointed friend look; sad eyes and furrowed brow.

And before I fell asleep, I prayed for strength and wisdom. And you know what?? She was right! I have been living out of boxes with bare walls for the last four years. And you know what else? I hung something up. And it happens to be something that I made today... on my unexpected day off.

I have seen the pin on Pinterest over the last couple years, and have wanted to make it. I picked up some canvases over the weekend when I was with Kelly. I painted it the same satin Mystic from Valspar, that I used for this project a couple weeks ago. Next I used the Cricut to cut out the letters in the different fonts. Then I sprayed some adhesive on the back of the letters and stuck it to the wall using Command Velcro hanging strips. (Those are the coolest things ever!)

What do you think?

I will be working on my photo wall around the art piece as the months go on. I just wanted to show you that our house's walls are no longer bare.

Thanks, Kel, for giving me that push. I really needed it. Love ya!

We are supposed to get some snow here tonight. Pray for those drivers that never drive in it to have the wisdom to stay home.

Stay warm, and much love!

Welcome 2013!

Welcome to Pigtails & Sassyfras!

It's a brand new year, and a fresh start in blogging. It's my intention to cover various things from DIY projects to personal growth with you all. I am a Pinterest fan, and just recently found Craftgawker. AH-MAY-ZING! Love all of the creativity!

I've blogged on another space, and you can check that out right here.

So first things first.... What do you think about my title?

The idea came from reminscing about my grandpa last night and the things he would say. Boy, do I miss him. He sure didn't put up with much sassyfras from us kids. Some stories will surely be told about that.

Here's what I've been working on lately. It's vinyl lettering cut out by my Cricut. Having the cricut makes me want to vinyl the whole house! (Don't worry, J... I won't. ) I originally posted this here. Of course, I got the idea from a pin from pinterest. I don't have a silhoute or whatever the other machine is that they were using, so it took me a bit to create the various fonts and size cutouts.



But there she is... waiting for the next go round. I gotta get crackin on my sister's now.

Thanks again for stopping by.

May your year be truly blessed!
