Short and to the point....

Just some stuff...

Saw this neat idea on another blog. Poke holes in a milk jug and easily water your flower pots without flooding them. 

I am doing this. Place some of the little square wax cubes that go in the Scentsy burners into salt shakers. Place in you car. The candles will get hot and melt in the salt shaker and start to emit a wonderful odor for your car.

My laundry area is so haphazard like this before photo. I think a trip to Dollar Tree for storage containers is in my future.

I have seen this hack before for painting. But seriously, this could come with complications. I am not the kind of person that could twist and turn a paint can to get a rubberband around it with out spilling all the paint. And if you suggest I put the rubberband on first before I take the lid off, that is just a whole other disaster waiting to happen when I am trying to get the lid off without spilling paint everywhere.

You know, I have never thought about it. But the smaller paper plates would be perfect to product my nesting Pyrex bowls. 

And of course, I am not going to be on Pinterest and not look at beach stuff. What an adorable checker set. 

This little shelf might be easy to make.

Don't have a beach to look out at your window? Create one.

And last, you know I love to decorate for the holidays. This would be cute to use in my beach room this fall.

That's all for today. Have a great Wednesday.

Weekend wrap up

I started off my days off by having breakfast for supper when I got home Thursday night. I love biscuits and gravy. Only I just like the gravy when it is made from bacon grease, not sausage.

Friday morning I went to McKay's and took back a few books. I didn't have very many and didn't expect to get more than enough to get 2 or 3 new books hopefully.

But I ended up with enough to get 8 new books. I love series books so these are all a start of a series by each author. 

Then I made a stop at Dollar Tree and found some cute summer flip flops and a matching bag. 

I picked up a new glass, a drinking bottle (how cute is that?) and some candles.

 For my beach room, I found this sign. They are starting to carry a lot of these wooden signs and I love them.

Since I don't want too much blue in my beach room, I thought this one could go in there on another wall.

I have some craft projects I want to do that involve paint. I finally found the sea glass paint that I have been looking for. Can't wait to try it out. I love theses little bottles of craft paint at Walmart. They have an amazing selection and they are just .50 cents each.

While I was in Lowe's getting the sea glass paint, I picked up a few paint charts for a little project I am going to be doing in children's church. 

When I sat down to read that afternoon, I realized I needed a new bookmark for my books. 

So I grabbed my crochet thread and cut a big length off. 

Braided it with a tassel on the end. 

Then I punched a hole and trimmed down a paint chip and wah-lah and instant book mark.

I picked up Shelby and she was my date Friday night to a local school production of Grease. I supplied a bench from my front porch for one of the scenes and I was given two tickets as a thank you. 

We really enjoyed it. I couldn't believe the talent. I was totally blown away.

Saturday I went with my daughter and Shelby into town, but didn't really do any great shopping to show you....unless you get thrilled when somebody buys trash bags and Ziploc bags.  Saturday night I just spent most of my time on the couch watching TV and enjoy some peace and quiet after an extremely busy hectic work week. I actually fell asleep on the couch until 1:00 in the morning. Then Sunday was church and back to work. So that was my weekend. I hope you had a great one as well. 

Sunday's Song

I absolutely love this new group Home Free.

May you have a glorious day today. Be sure and worship at the church of your choice.

Hmmmm?

Went to AC Moore the other day. Found a few patriotic place mats for $1.00 each and some little glass trays for .25 each 

Stay tuned......

Some mason jar ideas....

I just love the navy and white theme of these jars. 

This one is so cute and simple. I saw it on sale online for $29.00 and I thought "What???" So I am going to get the flowers, paint and anchor and I guarantee you I won't have $29 in it.

A cute idea for Mother's day.

I think I might do this herb garden for my kitchen.

Now this is precious. A soup can covered with photos. This would be good for me to do and send to Mom.

I am getting some really good ideas from Pinterest this week.

When Pinterest works

I love looking at Pinterest and I love it even more when something clicks and I have what I need. I saw this picture one time on Pinterest and it just so happened I add just found this bowl the week before in an antique store. So far I have collected four pairs of scissors and a bowl of pins for mine. I am still looking for more scissors. I'd like to find some of the scissors like they have in this sample picture.

The other day I was going through Pinterest and this popped up in my recommendations. I just thought they were so cute.

Then it hit me I already had similar fabric and some jute. So I pulled out the fabric and I am going to make some of these.

I posted it this on my Facebook phase and mentioned I only needed to get the fiber fill. A friend at work told me yesterday she has a 20# of it she bought then never had time to make anything. She wants to get rid of it so she is just bringing it to me tomorrow. I offered to pay but she just wants it out of her way. 

I also saw this patriotic bracelet. I may get some beads and try to make a smaller version of this. 

I am looking for more ideas and will keep you posted.
