I don’t know about
you, but I am sooo ready for spring!
It just feels like it should be here. I know, officially, we have 21 more days,
but
the weather has been so wishy washy.
It’s like it can’t make up its mind.
One day, cold and
breezy
then the next day the
sun is shining and it’s near 60 degrees!
I honestly saw daffodils blooming in someone’s
yard today!! No fair!
Well, I’ve got spring
fever….
I know I’m supposed
to be working on the office and I am, truly!
My mind is thinking
up all kinds of wonderful things!!
That’s working on it, right??
I have proof! Here are some phone pics of some fabric I’m
considering for the office
(They aren't the greatest pics)…
Oh, I should mention they are for curtains....
Do you have any opinions??

I have my
favorites.
But first, I just
have to do some springy kind of crafts.
I was in the Dollar
Tree the other day and came across this….
I thought, hmmm, I can
do something with this! It’s only a DOLLAR!!
I’m thinking of a
tray…. I guess, I have a thing for trays
right now, weird, huh….
Oh well. So, I primed it, then spray painted it with
heirloom white… Did I sand?? No!
It'll be fine!
It's getting there….
A couple of weeks ago
I got this VERY cool Martha Stewart stencil at
Michael’s using my
50% coupon! Oh Yeah!
It gave me sooo many
ideas rolling around in my head,
I felt like I was
spinning with glee!
I had to sit down
before I got dizzy…. Anyway….
I got out my box of
acrylic paints, mixed a few here and there and WA LA!!
So pretty! And isn't that little bird adorable?
So, much fun! Right now I just have it propped up on my
mantel.
But, I could use it for so many other things. I’m thinking up a spring display for my entry table.

Maybe I’ll work on
some other spring crafts tonight!

DeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation! I love the stencil (I think I might even own it!) and colours that you used. Is your tray magnetic? It would make a great magnet board if it is :)
