DI Goodies

This is all the good stuff I got at DI the first trip I went.  I've gone two more times and found more fabulous things!!!!  In this picture there are many things that I took and painted and used as candle stands.  Some of those are shown in the next picture.

I love the way those turned out!

The next two pictures show the FABULOUS door I bought.  It is not done yet,  I still need to paint it.  I am going to paint it Itilian Green.  When I was paying for it I had a couple of people ask me what I was going to do with the door.  This is just the begining for it.  I plan on finding a cute chair that I can put a modern print on the seat and some throw pillows on the chair to complete the corner.  The door was $10.

I didn't find the cute head wraps at DI, I made them.  This was my first attempt.  I made up the pattern.  Since then I've made three more and I think I have a better pattern.  I love them!!!  They are super cute and my girls' love them too!!!  What's even better, I learned how to crochet the flowers on them and we can mix and match colors.  I used to love to crochet.  I learned how to crochet when I worked at Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort on the East Rim of Zion National Park.  I've only made blankets before.  I haven't picked up the hook or yarn for a good 4 years.  I've had so much fun getting them out again.  It helps that I've found something cute to make that won't take me a year to complete!!!!  These don't even take an hour.
