You can only jump in so many puddles before you start to get sick of the rain here in Washington. SOOO, I tackled a few crafty shmafty projects while it's been dark and grey outside lately (though I hear we should be out of the rainy season soon!)
I made these squares to match my pillows in our bedroom; bought a little wood ($5 total from Home Depot), covered the squares with some old towel squares to add some fluff and used left over material to make my bedroom more colorful. I had to add these cute baby pics of my two handsome boys for character :)
P.S. I don't get along with my hot glue gun. My poor fingers...
I think I like how it added to my boring corner!
(I don't live in "Alice in Wonderland"'s dream; this was taken with my fish-eye lens :)
Made this wreath for our door with a coat hanger, burlap material, used my blasted hot glue gun again, and made my flowers out of a few strips of material. I copied the idea from THIS craft blog
Easy peasy flowers! Twist and glue, twist and glue…
Bought some balls from the dollar store (4 for $1) and covered them with left over burlap, lentils, and scrap paper. Bought a brown plate and old wooden vase from Goodwill, glued em together and had Jer spray 'em black for the tray!
Cute and Cheap centerpiece for our NEW…
Kitchen Table!!!
And nothing too fancy or hard, but my boys are always taking the magnets off the fridge and since they were the small choke size I used my scrap paper from the balls and mod podged them onto some not so chock size (I hope) rocks for some fridge magnets. BAM.
NOW, projects are done--for now--and we're ready to spend some time in the SUN (please?!?)

Oh how i wish i was crafty and creative. I must ask what don't you do and are amazing at i'm so jelouse! So you know if you were still here you'd be dealing with dingy, freezing, rainy, snowy, and mostly VERY windy days. We accomplished one sunny warm day last week (of course the wind still blew hard) This spring hasn't been very springy i'm afraid :(
So So cute! Wish you could spend a day making over my home! You are so talented!
So very cute! Did you put the boys pictures on fabric to do this or is that photo paper? We miss you and we are just as soggy over here, AND cold!
Thanks ladies! Renae- the pictures were printed on regular luster photo paper from Costco (canvas prints can be pricy!) and I just did the same thing as with the material squares; I first covered the face of the wood with two squares of old towel for fluff then wrapped on and hot glued the picture! Kind of like wrapping a birthday present :)
Pretty cool! Lucas likes to to the magnets off the fridge and hide them from me. Silly boy!
