Phew.

This week as flown by, I can't believe it's already Thursday (night). I love when the week goes by so quickly, even more when the weekend is HERE. I don't even know where to start, we have been having VERY nice weather this past weekend/week. (Therefore we have been trying to get out and get some FRESH air!) It's nice, to have the sun shining. (It makes everyone, well, almost everyone in a GOOD mood!)

Onto my crafting for this week, I think I finished a grand total of ONE project. (Besides the ones I already posted about, on Sunday!) This was another St. Pats craft, even though St. Pats was yesterday.

Here is a small tutorial of how I made this:

I started out with: green and black paint, along with 3-D gold metallic paint.

A few things of this and that: Styrofoam ball, green ribbon, shamrock garland, and raffia.

One clay pot.

First I painted the whole pot green, along the top edge I painted that black for the "belt" and topped it off with a "belt buckle" using the 3-D gold paint.

Add styrofoam to the inside of the pot, paint a doll rod green, start hot gluing the shamrock garland (just go crazy!). I also added some (leftover) black fabric to the bottom to cover the styrofoam, and a few shamrocks that fell off the garland while glueing. Add a ribbon and WA-LA!

We will be spending this weekend with family, should be fun!

I just hope the weather stays nice! (Yes, I heard it was supposed to snow on sunday!)

Goodbye for now!

Lucky.

Another day, another blog entry. Today seemed to drag on, and on. Much like the whole week. (It's only wednesday, seriously?) Lately, it feels like my calenders and clocks have been switched out, this year is flying by and someone keeps stealing time from me! (Don't they know not to mess with me? Or I might get out my handy dandy glue gun!) With time zooming by, I feel like there's not enough time in the day, to go to work, make dinner, play with the dogs, spend quality time with my hubby, and craft! (Hubby said I was "the best wife in the world" not "superwoman"!) So therefore I am going to have to schedule my time better. (Make trips to the store once a week instead of what seems like every day, plan ahead on meals for dinner, etc.) I will figure out the perfect system to keep everything organized for us. (Including bills, tv remotes, food in the pantry, my crafting stuff,etc.) It is also time to start the SPRING cleaning! (I've been wanting to tackle our storage bins for awhile now!)

On to my crafty side; hubby and I will be re-doing a side table we got from a friend. (Hopefully in the near future, i.e. this weekend?) I will post pictures once we start to tackle our project.

We do not have very many St. Patty's Day decorations, and I saw something similar to this at the store a few weeks back. (It wasn't made out of canvas and wood letters, I used what I had laying around, but you get the idea!)

Goodbye for now, Until next time!

Stuck in the middle.

My mom went in for surgery, yesterday, she's already home (as of three o'clock this afternoon) and doing GREAT compared to the last time she had this surgery! She can talk, without sounding like Minnie Mouse, she can even eat, without choking! We're hoping she heals faster and easier, this time around! She will be in our prayers, for a speedy recovery! We love you mom!

On a lighter (but more annoying) note, I've been painting and swirling cardboard eggs for a few hours total. Once they were all dry and ready to be put to use, I started to glue them into place! Until, I got stuck in the MIDDLE with NO MORE EGGS! Hobby Lobby doesn't have anymore in stock, now I NEED to find somewhere that has some, that are the same size I've been using, so I can finish my latest and greatest project! (I'm pretty excited about it!) Until then, there will be no pictures! (Sorry!)

I did manage to finish a few other (quick and easy) projects for Easter and St. Patty's Day!

Wooden St. Patty's Blocks

Wooden Cross

Wooden Easter Blocks

Bunny Clay Pot

I sure do feel accomplished and proud of my work, when I get to share it with you!

Blogging my "pieces of art" also helps me to think of new ideas, and to document my crafts with pictures! I'm sure starting to like the whole "blog" idea!
