Projects

Well, I have lots of fun little projects I'm working on!

 I got a few progress pictures but I made the horribly stupid mistake  however there was an accident and I dropped my camera! While open, lens side down on to cement! We have a nice SLR film camera, but again, that's film, so time and money to develop the photos! So it may be a month before I get more pictures! Anywho..... Here is a snap shot of what I'm working on!

 I'm LOVING this bright yellow that you can see everywhere! So time to give a few things a spring makeover! I've had these candle sticks for years and have loved them. But they were starting to feel dated and needed a new color. I have since finished these, sanded them down and they look amazing!

Next up the old little watering can needs some yellow love!!!!

Spring Branches

Now is a great time to bring in Spring, especially here in Utah, were the weather refuses to cooperate! (We got more snow yesterday and today it's still snowing!)

I clipped a few forsythia branches from my mother in law's yard. These pictures was taken a week ago, today, they're still in full bloom and pretty green leaves are sprouting! Don't have a bush or tree to clip from? Costco even has floral branches for purchase as would your local florist! What a fresh way to bring in spring!

Spring has sprung with Crate & Barrel!

Have you seen some of the fun spring items 

from Crate and Barrel?

I'm Loving:

I'm officially on the look out at yard sales, swaps and rummage sales for a bird cage to spray paint yellow! LOVE IT!

St. Patty's Day

I never have been into the Holiday. I'm sure I have Irish somewhere way back down the family history line. I hate the taste of corned beef and cabbage. As a teenager I would do whatever I could to have to work that night so I'd miss the dinner at home. As a younger teenager, I was the one that would only wear green on my underwear, so I could sneak the color, but still be protected. I don't decorate with the emerald green color for the holiday either. I'm sure next year some will trickle in as my son starts preschool, and I'll do it for the kids. But as for now they're young enough to not know, so I simply don't care. Anyway, the only tradition I ever enjoyed growing up, was dying the food green. That was always a fun treat. Did I make pancakes this morning? Well, no. I had wanted to. But the hubby woke up late, the 4 year old threw a long and loud tantrum, and we're running being schedule for getting ready. Oh well! But for those that celebrate and go all out, good for you and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
