Before I tell you who the winner is I want to introduce you to

Ioka Lane Boutique!

This is not just another Feature Friday.  Ioka Lane is my sister-in-law's boutique.

Please go check it out!

She is really the reason I started building custom crafts; which led to blogging.  I have always liked to make things.  One day I was talking about how awesome Kortnie is and all of the things she does.  My wonderful husband encouraged me, and told me I could make a succesful business too.

I look up to this girl so much, and someday I hope to be as awesome as she is!  It has been so fun to have someone to brainstorm ideas with, and someone who I can ask to be brutally honest about a project and she will be! 
I love this girl! Get to know her!

Kortnie is very talented at sewing!  Here are just a few of the cute things she has sewn.

She also makes these one of a kind Beadboard Frames!

She has also started refinishing furniture.  And of course, like everything else, she is GREAT at it!

This sunburst mirror was the item everyone was talking about at the boutique we just did together!  Isn't it GORGEOUS?!

She also just started a blog.  Her first post was all about how she made this cute little table!

Send some love Kortnie's way!

Round Up ~ Chevron

To be honest a year ago I HATED chevron.  But then I saw enough projects where chevron was used well and I slowly fell in love with it.

I have made a few Chevron projects lately.  Most recent are these "You Are My Sunshine" signs.
View my tutorial for this sign! 

I am giving away ones of these signs right now!  Go Enter!

This was my very first attempt at Chevron. I love the colors together.  But I have since figured out how to center the chevron pattern and make it look a lot better.
View my tutorial for this sign!

The next project I made I decided to use smaller tape.  I also got my chevron centered left to right but not top to bottom.

After all of that I have finally figured it out!  View my tutorial on How To Tape Off a Chevron Pattern.

But it was so worth it!  Don't you love this space!?
