Diy Sheet Music Garland




 Diy Sheet Music Garland 

I wanted to show you how I made this simple garland to drape over the piano


Materials 

nylon string or twine
copies of sheet music 
fabric
wooden dowel
rubber band








Basically I started out by finding sheet music images on the internet. Then I printed out 3 copies. I folded each in half and cut with scissors. I took a left over wooden dowel or even a pencil would work and rolled the sheet all the way up and secured with a rubber band.
Next, I took an old curtain and cut strips of fabric. You can use anything that you have around the house. Tea towels work great! 
Now, take your twine and measure out how much you need to hang across where you are placing it.
I literally used masking tape and taped it down on my runner on top of the piano. I took the one end of twine and slid it through the rubber band of the rolled sheet music and evenly spaced out.
In the empty space add the strips of fabric. You could tie it on the twine or if you know how to, make a rag garland knot.
For a finished look, I cut small strips of fabric or you could even use ribbon on hand to cover the rubber band.
That’s it!

Mother’s Day Tiered Tray

A new idea for your tiered tray styling.  For me it takes a lot of work to figure out how to style these trays. I think the best way is to have a theme and then rummage through the house like a maniac! (just kidding) Try finding unique items like this Willow Tree figure. Old vintage tea cups and saucers bring in some pink with the addition of books that happen to say Mom in the title.(thanks Joyce Meyers) Try and use repetition of colors for a more cohesive look. I always add some greenery and flowers too.  Now get going!....

Styling Tiered Trays

    Styling a tiered tray can be a daunting task. How do you even  start? I am going to show you how to make it happen.  First: Theme pick your holiday, season or subject Second: Gather shop your home, go to the Target dollar spot, thrift shops etc. Third: Repetition  I like to buy in three’s and two’s  keeping the same piece on each level brings continuity  Fourth: Scale Larger items at the bottom, smaller at the top This is pleasing to the eyes! Fifth: Be Creative  There are no limits to what you can achieve! Use your imagination and it will naturally flow! I hope this helps you have fun decorating your trays!

Finding Strength In The Darkness

 I found out my youngest son Nick had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age 6. When you hear news like this it is earth shattering! The prognosis is bleak. No cure, wheelchair bound by 12 and life expectancy 21. The disease so far has been a true test to all of us.   Fast forward to present day. Nick is 21. He is in a wheelchair and still no cure. On January 2 of this year 2020, he had elective surgery on his colon. Surgery went well and we went home after a 5 day stay in the hospital. The second day home, Nick was in excruciating pain. We immediately head back to the hospital. Did I mention that it is about a two hour drive!  Arrive at the hospital which consisted of 2 emergency surgeries where we almost lost him. 8 surgeries later and an ilestomy bag that helped save his life.  It was just about 2 months staying in the hospital. We had to leave our 2 adult children without their mom, dad and brother. My husband had to go on a family leave with no pay from his job so we could be with our
