Good Moms...

For Christmas this past year, a dear friend got me this ornament. She wanted to remind me that there things more important then a clean house. I have a bad habit of obsessing over a clean house and apologizing to company if one thing is out of place. I saw the ornament in my kitchen, hanging from my cabinet and became inspired! 


I didn't feel like running to Hobby Lobby, so I checked my craft drawers for supplies.


I found 3 small pieces of wood and burlap... I am obsessed with burlap, right now. 


 I started with painting my wood tan and grey. 


And while the wood dried, I played with my Silhouette program, typing up the quote to put on the wood.  


I printed the quote on my Silhouette machine with red vinyl. 


Using contact paper, I transferred the vinyl letters to my painted wood. 


I cut a long strip of the burlap ribbon and using my glue gun I glued the back of the wood to the ribbon.


I tied a bow and then added a piece of twine to create a loop, so I could hang it. 


And there it is! 


Right now I have it hung on my pantry cabinet, but I plan on hanging it on a wall.
