Sunday Funnies. A reminder that it's a new year, new challenges, new projects, and hopefully fewer failures and more successes! I have not been as attentive to this blog as I have been in the past, and I plan to re-evaluate whether or not I will continue with it. My early tutorials remain very popular, and that's why I hesitate. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: TIPS AND TUTORIALS I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: NEW (OLD) TINS Daher Vintage 60s Decorative Tin, Made in England. This tin is an Easter-themed tin. It's covered all over with a design consisting of vines, florals, and colored Easter eggs. The best part is that it includes a music box that plays the classic song "Easter Parade." Very

cute!

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: WREATHS, WREATHS, AND MORE WREATHS Here's a few new wreaths just born in the last month. These two are now listed in my Etsy shop: Sage Green Pinecone Wreath. Robin's Egg Blue Pinecone Wreath. I created this Fall wreath for my sister's apartment door at her assisted living facility. It's a ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: THE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY EASIEST Step 1: Scrunch. Step 2: Tie. Step 3: Fluff. See? Easy-peasy!! I used about a 15" long piece of ribbon and tied it with wire. Then it was just a question of pulling and shaping the wire to form the flower. I got a little carried away, trying it out with some of the other ribbons. This red rose is from a wired Satin Polyester ribbon. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: PINE CONE WREATHS After you've reviewed this tutorial, you might want to see some of my new 2015 wreaths here. I have been making pine cone wreaths for a

whole lot of years.

I now have anotherbrightidea AND. morebrightideas . I suppose they're not such brilliant names, but I wanted the two shops to have some relationship with each other so hopefully it helps people to remember them.

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: RUSTIC FALL BANNER TUTORIAL I started with scraps of fall fabrics and layered two colors back to back, top stitched them on all sides, and trimmed with pinking shears so they'll fray naturally. I then turned down the top to create a pocket for the twine hanger strip. Some of the silk leaves were a little too bright and a little too "fake" so I toned them down a

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: FLOATING "BOOK" SHELF TUTORIAL Take two large L-brackets and, using a very strong glue (not positive but I think I used wood glue), glue one side of the brackets to the inside back cover of the book. Clamp and let dry thoroughly. Screw the other side of the bracket into the wall. Paint the part of the bracket that is visible the same color as the wall. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: NEW AUTUMN LISTINGS This is a simple, beautiful burlap wrapped wreath. Silk flowers in subtle autumn colors sits in the center, and off to the side are two large clusters of feathers.

For the first coat, shown here, I mixed 1 part latex paint, 1 part textile medium and then one-half part water, creating a very watered down mixture. Then, spritzing water first, I

"I'm going to do something with that some day." Which is why I still had some spindles from book shelves I used 25 years a long time ago.

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: FASHION, PHOTOGRAPHY AND JEANIE AND ME Last night I attended a fashion show. Those of you who know me might find that surprising because I am so NOT a fashion person, except for religiously watching Project Runway.But I had good reasons for

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: A CHRISTMAS TRADITION The 2010 calendar is a special one. During the years 1935 and 1936 my Mom and Dad met, fell in love, and married. My Dad was in the Army in New York at the time, so they wrote increasingly romantic letters to

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: ADDRESS BLOCK MOSAIC TUTORIAL During the summer I did some cleaning up and rearranging in my patio garden and ended up with some extra bricks and these cement blocks.

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: OMBRE LAMP TUTORIAL I sprayed the second color (Artichoke) starting at the top of the largest part of the lamps and down to the bottom.

Sunday Funnies. A reminder that it's a new year, new challenges, new projects, and hopefully fewer failures and more successes! I have not been as attentive to this blog as I have been in the past, and I plan to re-evaluate whether or not I will continue with it. My early tutorials remain very popular, and that's why I hesitate. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: TIPS AND TUTORIALS I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: NEW (OLD) TINS Daher Vintage 60s Decorative Tin, Made in England. This tin is an Easter-themed tin. It's covered all over with a design consisting of vines, florals, and colored Easter eggs. The best part is that it includes a music box that plays the classic song "Easter Parade." Very

cute!

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: AHHHH RELAX I am sitting and relaxing for the first time in weeks. It has been a pressure cooker of one kind or another for the past month and a half,

and the condo

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: PINE CONE WREATHS After you've reviewed this tutorial, you might want to see some of my new 2015 wreaths here. I have been making pine cone wreaths for a

whole lot of years.

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: ADDRESS BLOCK MOSAIC TUTORIAL During the summer I did some cleaning up and rearranging in my patio garden and ended up with some extra bricks and these cement blocks. I didn't want to get rid of them and so had my usual "I can do something with this" thoughts. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: PAINTING UPHOLSTERED CHAIRS Water. 1 Spray bottle for water. 1 paint brush. The paint color is a soft, light sage. For the first coat, shown here, I mixed 1 part latex paint, 1 part textile medium and then one-half part water, creating a very watered down mixture. Then, spritzing water first, I ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: RUSTIC FALL BANNER TUTORIAL I started with scraps of fall fabrics and layered two colors back to back, top stitched them on all sides, and trimmed with pinking shears so they'll fray naturally. I then turned down the top to create a pocket for the twine hanger strip. Some of the silk leaves were a little too bright and a little too "fake" so I toned them down a

little

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: NEW HOLIDAY WREATHS 22" Gold with Purple and Magenta. Here's a sweet little grapevine wreath. 6" Two Cherubs. And here's another grapevine wreath. I'm particularly proud of this; I made the wreath form with bittersweet vines on my patio! 24" White Grapevine with Red Trim. This somewhat more traditional wreath has already been sold to a friend of mine. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: THE BENEFICIARY BOOK So back in 2007-08 I purchased a product called The Beneficiary Book. What a brilliant idea! The PDF file is the most complete document you could have that gathers in one place everything that you and your heirs would need. It’s divided by sections with pages to type into or print and fill in by hand for you and every member of your family ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: FRIENDS WITH PINECONE CRAFTS It wasn't until I zoomed in on the photo that I realized those are pine cones! Kathy explained that the pine cones are about 9-10 inches tall. She painted them green, added rice lights, garland, and beads. For the "gifts" in front Kathy covered small blocks ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: FALL RUSTIC BANNER TUTORIAL Scrapbooking paper in shades of tan, brown, rust, cut into pennant triangles. Quilt fabric in fall colors, left over from a lap quilt my niece created for me. A long fabric strip originally trimmed from the quilt edge. Glue gun, drill, eye screws,Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution. I started by punching two holes at the top of each triangle. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: PRIVACY WALL/STORAGE BENCH TUTORIAL Then two ideas came together to get my wheels churning for a solution. First, the bench I acquired when my sister downsized, and my intention to take every possible opportunity to use up supplies and materials I have on hand before I buy anything new. ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: 2014 Over the past few years my older sister and I had been pulling together any and all information we had from our parents and aunts and uncles. We had photos, documents, certificates - all kinds of memorabilia - that needed to be pulled together and put into some

coherent order.

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA: TIP: TWO UNIQUE CONTAINERS FOR I'm betting this would work with a lot of different containers like tea tins, etc. Almost any round container is a candidate. Just measure the diameter and match it skip to main | skip to sidebar
