I would love to have a renovation update for you, but I don't. Not because things aren't getting done, because they are, but slowly. The weather is not my friend. It's beyond frustrating. Suzan at Simply Vintageous...by Suzan was giving me a little grief about not making a ton of Valentine crafts like I usually do, so I decided to make something yesterday instead of being all frustrated. Suzan loves hearts, so ....
A couple of years ago I found some ugly wooden hearts. Somewhere in my computer there is a picture of them, but I'm too lazy to search for it. I primed them with white spray primer and then they sat around for a year. I outlined the heart with black marker.
Some black and white washi tape was the perfect width for covering the edges.
Since I don't have a silhouette and because I wanted to finish this craft in like 20 minutes, I opted for some "rub on" words. Too easy.
"Thick and Thin"....yep, that pretty much describes our 20 plus years of marriage for sure.
I found a cute little stick on dot just to give it some 3-D-ness. Gave about 30 seconds thought to adding some more bling and voted no.
I stuck it up on a little shelf in my black and white bedroom. Which reminds me...I never posted more about my black and white bedroom. Oh well. Now it has a black and white heart that reminds me that Valentines Day is really all about loving someone through thick and thin.

Now that is cute!! I love those rub on words and that you had the perfect washi tape for your project. I know Suzan will love this project!
ReplyDeleteOh Danni it's beautiful, look at you getting all crafty again.
ReplyDeleteYou always make the best crafts, Danni! Creative, quick and simple! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is fabulous - I love the Thick and Thin - you did good Danni - very very good - and I won't bug you now for another week or so, promise lmho - pinning it now!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Oh Danni. This is wonderful. I love the thick and thin reference. So unexpected but so perfectly phrased.
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute. You know I love the black and white. And the thought...well thank goodness for thick AND thin.
ReplyDeleteAre you going with a black & white bedroom in the new place also?
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! And you are so funny! I still find washi tape to be quite elusive. Is that what it's actually called or is there some other name for it? I swear I've never seen it. I've seen some fun duct tapes, but that it. I've also never seen rub-on words. Sometimes I wonder if I live on a different planet than everyone else.

Thick & Thin - now that's a good one ! Awesome to see a craft from you as I always love them and somehow get some inspiration from you ;-) {especially recycled lunch containers!!}
ReplyDeleteNice job! I love this!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Danni! xox
Hi Danni! This is so cute and I just love anything black and white! Hope all is going well, my friend and miss seeing you! xo
ReplyDeleteYup....for better or worse and thick and thin. That. Means the shape of my legs right?
ReplyDeleteYou said it Danni!! Especially with reno's...thick and thin. Great project and way to find the time for a little romance while in the midst of all that dust!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and simple! I love it!!~~Angela
ReplyDeleteI love your heart :-) What a cute project Danni. Maybe you'll have big news with the reno soon. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, when I first saw this I was thinking if I was in a relationship I'd be the thick one (a reference to my ever expanding waistline) , but then I realised you meant 'through thick and thin' and I think it's a beautifully subtle reference to Valentines, and how clever are you to just whip up another crafty delight !
ReplyDeleteSweet ❤ The washi tape looks wonderful on your heart.
ReplyDeleteI have a black and white bedroom too! http://alapinlife.blogspot.com/2011/02/master-bedroom.html
I like
ReplyDeleteHow true are those words!!! You do it every time, make it look easy as pie. I would love to see your black and white bedroom, the vignette alone is very chic, maybe we'll get the reveal in your new place??
ReplyDeleteYour heart is so cute! I love the black & white, a nice change from red.

Adorable Dani! And I have to agree with Andi...why in the world don't craft stores carry Washi?! I've only seen it once at Michaels, otherwise it has to be ordered on line. I asked for it at Joanne's and they looked at me like I was crazy. Geez....
ReplyDeleteOh, Danni, you are so smart! This looks so cute, and quick and easy, too. Great job. Plus, I love me some rub on letters, too easy!
