all I can do is SIGH :/

So I saw this fabulous idea using an old light globe and paint.  It was amazing and I would so put up a link to the original but I can't find it again.  I have looked,.....most of the day actually.

I decided I would risk it and fake my way through it.  Should of known better.  I had the paint all picked out, had this great pink and silver spray paint.  Spent my time taping and began to paint.  Except the paint was really old.  How old?  I'm not sure, I guess I could cut it in half and count the rings.  If you ever buy second hand spray paint ask to test it.  Oh well no financial loss but now I have to put paint on this thing because all that's on it, is the goo that holds the paint to the object.  I ran to the garage and grabbed a yellow can of paint.   Yeah not a real great choice to go with the silver I had already painted.

But I am impatient and don't want to run to Walmart to find me some pink so this is what came out.
Makes me want to call a taxi.  I tried to hide this horrible tragedy by pretending I meant to do that with the silver art object in the back.  Only made it worse.
I am now thinking on adding black checks and just go all the way with the taxi thing.......SIGH!
any suggestions?

Getting prettier by the day

The weather has been sooooo beautiful lately I can't stop creating things. So I am going blog wild!! hahahha

A few weeks ago I found some round vases for fifty cents a piece. Loved the shape, not so much the color. Felt really dated. So I crocheted around them with some giant hooks and bright green yarn. Much better, at least I think so. Add a little bit of flowers from the garden and bam instant pretty.



Still making my cheap deck pretty.


Hung up the dollar store lanterns in the tree (check out my older posts for tutorial) for more color.
I also have redone another old file cabinet with a different purpose this time. That post will be coming soon. The round orb in the bottom of the picture is light globe I found at the ReStore for a few dollars. It reminds me of a giant bubble. I wish I could find more.
Well have a great day and happy creating.
