5 minutes of sanding, 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of spray enamel later…
DIYers, Did you know you can sand off loose rust with a sanding block? Who knew?
Bliss = an hour in the my “studio” with super glue, paint and my new paper cutter. Dreaming up ideas for respurposing discarded items is a lot of fun.
I had a dream last night that Leonardo DiCaprio was yelling at me for cluttering up the garage. So. Wierd. I guess, if just plain old anybody is going to yell at me, it might as well be Leo. I digress.
Okay, I said I’d include some before and after photos!
Here is a before photo of a paned window that was missing one piece of glass.
Here is a before of a ledged window piece of wall decor.
Here is the after.
Tonight’s project…
To paint it bright red or powder blue that is the question!!??
Love,
Jess
The Junk Market is only a few days away!
Tiered cake plates are ready to sell.
Wanna do it to?
Gather or purchase plates, vases and candle sticks.
Glue them together with E6000 industrial strength glue.
And there you go!
Add brownie bites and appetizers or seasonal home decor…like a bunch of red Christmas bulbs or Easter eggs.
Love,
Jess
This week I was inspired by a craft club blog called, Crafts in Bloom. The author gave out the project assignment to use old clothing to create something beautiful and new. (click here to see the club’s results)
I chose to make one last Valentine’s project. I used Ryan’s old shirt (he wore in his first school photo) and Molly’s old sweater (no special meaning, just had a hole in it).
What a fun way to keep the memory of Ry’s shirt without having to hold onto it in the attic!
Love,
Jess
