Round 2.

A few months back, you may remember a project i was playing around with, my antlers. I had seen a really neat idea out in Marble Falls and i did my best to attempt it (here). Well, unfortuanly i made the cover too heavy, and it just wouldnt stay on. So, round 2. Again with the burlap, sorry its really starting to become an addiction.

The original.

Not sure why the photo will not rotate for me. Sorry.

 

 

 

My first attempt.

And my more successful, second attempt!

Just modge podged some fun paper on the wood, wrapped my skull bone (ew sorry) in the burlap while leaving a small piece which would hide the metal clasps which hold everything together, hot glued the hiding portion of the burlap and then hot glued on my broach. Done! I do like round 2 much better.

AND...its pink!

Did I make it look like its for an 8 year old??

I do kinda love it though! Just need Jacob to hang it..."JACOBBBB!"

Just Needs a Paint Job

So, after a long, exhausting trip up to Green Bay, WI, my in-laws schelpped back to Texas a U-Haul full of my mother-in-laws parents valuables. Much to my surprise, they had a few presents for us! One of them was a wonderful chandelier that Jacob's grandmother was very proud of, and i was so blessed to have been given it. I am so excited to give it a little paint job and install it in my office.

Spray painting in a few...wish me luck!

Photo Wall: I'd Say 99% Complete

I keep saying Im done with the photo wall in the guest bedroom, and then i keep finding frames/projects i need! Yesterday, Jacob was stuck in Houston working until 10...which lead to me being very bored on a Friday night. So, I went over to Hobby "sucks all the money out of my wallet" Lobby, and looked for a project. My sister is a Modge Podge-a-holic, which has led to me picking up the habit. Last nights project: Modge Podge Picture Frame. What do you think? Literally took me 15 minutes to make. 

Bought the plain wooden frame, painted the sides teal, cut out the paper, modge podged, hot glued on a burlap flower and then glued on a fun little tool-thing-a-ma-bob i found on sale, ta da!

Frame, with some pretty paper and a bird cage sticker. 

 I could not be more happy that it is Saturday. Hope you ENJOY it!!

Thats it!?

Just a little Tuesday inspirations. Check it out!

Its a picture frame, with whatever paper you love, with 2 drawer pulls. What a cute little tray! Plus, at Hobby Lobby the picture frames are always 50% off! Doing this is weekend!

Thanks Pinterest 

Surprise, Look What We Found!

Friday was an awful day. Just plain full of stress and mean clients. After I personally had to go lay a half a pallet of sod, i threw the towel in for the day and went to our shop to drop off the trailer. Just to my surprise there was a sweet little kitten waiting for me under a mower! Our mechanic found the kitty in the field while he was mowing and snached he/she up, knowing he could pawn he/she off on me. Not that I am complaining! He/she is precious, and brought a little sunshine to my not so sunny day!

Kitty needed a bath very bad! No more fleas!

Such a good big brother! Protecting his new bro/sis, while also keeping an eye on it since hes still not too sure what to make of the whole situation.

Ok, so maybe Burk loves kitty now! As long as kitty isnt trying to nurse... Burk is not a fan of that.

Sweet kitty, cuddling in my lap as i work on this blog post. Cant wait to find out if its a boy or girl!
