I know this post is a little late, but I didn’t get time around Easter to edit the photos. I wanted to share this year’s Easter eggs with you. It is such a fun adventure to color them, don’t you think? We used food colors last year. You can read about it in this post….
Photography Styling Challenge #8 – Patterns
Around here, the first Monday of the month can only mean one thing – time for another Photo Styling Challenge post! The themes are getting quite challenging with each passing month. This month’s concept is rather interesting – Patterns. They are all around us. We just need to look for them with a critical eye….
D-Do-Dot-Dotty Kids Paintings
“Teddy Bears and squirrels are brown, Autumn leaves are too.” – Boy was singing the Brown color song one day. Well, why not create an autumn tree craft with brown and yellow leaves? I had the perfect paint for this craft, the do-a-dot marker set. I drew a tree in brown marker and then let…
DIY Kids Art – Stamping With Legos & Cars
I love doing art with my little kiddo. We don’t do anything fancy or too complicated. Mostly, it’s just us two, drawing something fun and then filling it with lovely colors. It is the perfect exercise for little hands and minds and the perfect bonding experience for me. As an added bonus, I get to…
Simple DIY Painted/Stenciled Rug
I have been seeing painted rugs all over blog land for quite some time now. I wasn’t exactly sure how to go about it, but decided to give it a try. I decided to test it out on a small rug/doormat I already had. Here is the original ‘greige’ (grayish beige) rug. There are many…
DIY Painted Jewelry Box
I found this cute, but boring jewelry box at a thrift store. It was in pretty good condition, except for a little dent in one corner. The insides were in good shape too. It sat on my dresser for a long time. And since I am on a “paint-anything-that-does-not-move” spree, I thought I could easily…
DIY Bubbles Wall Art – Update A Boring Artwork
It is hard to get really good artwork that you truly love. Unless you are willing to spend a large amount on them. We all have those ordinary, mass-produced framed prints, right? I do too. I have an exceptionally ugly one I got from a thrift store. I bought it only because I liked the…
A Sneak Preview
I got some fabric in shades of blue and green. As you may have noticed from my past projects here and here, they are my current favorite color combination. I will be using them in a few projects, one of which is more cushion covers to complete my living room update. The green fabric proved so hard…
Succulent Love and Painted Pots
Succulents are a girl’s best friends. They are easy to re-pot, not very demanding and add much-needed greenery indoors. After I undertook my first paint makeover project, I painted some terracotta pots. I painted them in blue, a mint green and a mix of the two (that’s the larger pot in the picture). I knew…
Peek-a-Blue! My First Paint Project
If you have been reading my previous posts (hopefully!), two things might be clear to you by now. I am impatient and I love anything that says ‘easy’! Still, I have had this deep urge to undertake a painting project. Like a small chair or stool or at least a flower-pot! Guess what? After weeks…
