In between decorating and cooking for Dad's party on Friday, I had enough energy and time to get a project done that I have had in the planning. See this wall is on the blah side, nothing to talk about, so I have been wanting to get a little fru -fru to add to it; so hence here is what I have done; 
Some tulle ( i think that is spelled right ) some rose petals add to the top and you have fru-fru. I would like to add some ivory silk ribbon and maybe a real pretty silk fabric in the dark merlot color.
The dark merlot color would match the curtain that I have next to the tub. I bought this curtain for the other bedroom; but it didn't work in there, I loved it so much and found a place for it in our bathroom. It does mix well with the magnolia's and the magnolia print has the same color of merlot in it.
It rained early in the day on the 3rd so, I had planned a picnic outside for the kids; my twins and my great nephew and great niece. I do get the strangest looks when I take all these kids out together. Some people ask, are all these kids yours; Plezze; do I look crazy. Obviously I do or they wouldn't ask
I don't throw away strawberry flats; they make great holders for everything. If you are transporting food and don't want it to slide, taking hot food or a quick picnic basket, and magazine holders.
Here are some of the crafts I didn't get posted earlier that the boys and I made. We had these scrap woods blocks; so we cut them off into 3 pieces, painted them red, white and blue, drilled holes in the wood for the flags and just poked them in. I think it is a great way to get your kids creativity going.
My sweetie had cut these stars out for me before, I just needed a way to stand them up. I bought dowels and drilled holes at the angle I wanted the stars to stand up at. Since, I am constantly moving them, I don't glue them in.
We re-painted this bench that my sweetie made for me. After we painted them I went back over the paint with stain and it turned the blue the prettiest blueish purple.

I like making things out of what you already have. I have tons of ideas; but like many of you that thing called precious time slips away from us all. Also, this endometriosis knocks out all my energy when I am on my feet all day. So, on the 4th I had to rest.
I have NO, zero, NOTTA, creativity about me at all!! The blocks are just too cool!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I really like the painted blocks and your bathroom really came together nice. I love the magnolia prints with the tulle. Again, nice work as usual.
