Painted Rocks

I love to paint. I'll paint just about anything. I've painted walls, tables, material and even my couch. 

 Today I am sharing our painted rocks. There is all kinds of inspiration on Pinterest but ours look nothing like them. 

These rocks were painted by six year old kiddy winks - and me. Unfortunately I was helping the girls so much that I didn't have the time to do anything exciting on my rock. Although it is a pretty colour - red is my favorite.

 Check it out.



These are my adorable granddaughters - the artists working on their masterpieces.














Look at the concentration.






We use our rocks for holding doors open. Great for the summer when all the windows are open and the strong breeze likes to shut the doors.

 They look great in the garden too.

    What a fun activity to do together and adorable memory of that time spent together. I know your' grandchildren will treasure all the time they've spent crafting with you, Darlene (as much as you treasure the time together :) )

      It was fun. Next time I hope to be able to do more painting and less helping. LOL

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
