Another Pinterest.com project. When I saw it I had to make this sign. Just
went ahead and painted it straight onto my cupboard door and with a stencil
I wrote out the saying. The clothesline, "clothes", and clothes pens are
real. Just used some hot glue for the rope. :) SUPER easy project

As shown on days 117-118 the dry well is ALMOST finished! YAY!!!

had a bunch of little monster finger-puppets so i got my crafting on! i
wonder if Martha would think "it's a good thing?"

So the project that was in my home made drying chamber (day 122) was a new
shade for my lamp. I have to add a trim around the top but I really like how
it turned out. The glass that originally went with this light broke before
we ever had a chance to use it :(. So I covered the glass with plastic wrap
and covered it with yarn and glue. In the end this was what I got out of it.
Whats great is if it gets damaged or I change the room colors I can always
make another shade :D Score

Drying another one of my projects. I'm to impatient to wait for it to dry on
its own so a little tape, a hairdryer and garbage bag work as a great drying
chamber!

Still working on the scrapbook for my grandparents' 50th anniversary.

Almost finished with my (not so little) little brother's pages.

We had some left over screen from Tyler's dry well project and I am going to
use EVERY dime spent on it. So with the left over screen I made a screen
door for the garage so we could get a nice cross breeze going. The bottom is
filled with the left over rice from drying my phone (which works!! :-D) to
help keep the screen in place.

I am totally fascinated by miniatures. I made a little minature garden in a
pot that sits on my porch. : )

Got a call to babysit last minute today. We built a giant fort in the
basement.

Cheat: I fell behind on my Zentangle calendar for May, but I did get it done
in the same week as May 31st. :)

My Zentangles are a good way to fill in missing photos. :) This is my
newly-completed April calendar page.

My newly-tangled mug. I'd bought it at Starbuck's awhile back and finally
got brave enough to try it. The special paint pen was a pain in the ass and
I had to wash off and start over multiple times, but I finally ended up with
something I won't mind drinking coffee out of.

Newest Zentangle project: Bought this blank calendar (desk blotter-sized)
off etsy about a month ago. Just barely got March finished in time. I kinda
wish it was a 2012 calendar instead, so I could keep it around another year.

It's too cold and rainy to go to the park or coffee shop and do MORE of my
never-ending paperwork for work. All 3 of my morning sessions were
cancelled. I've been gazing longingly from across the room at my box of art
stuff for over two weeks. So I just turned the ENTIRE box upside-down across
the dining room table, sat down with a mug of coffee and let myself
experiment. I chose oil pastels and gold card stock with a scalloped edge.
tangled vines, blackness around the edges and a bright pink star shining
from the center. I don't really like it, but somehow it makes sense to me,
and while I was adding leaves I started to feel something, so then of course
I had to stop and distract myself.

Spent today making little paper cranes at work. There's a foundation
donating to relief efforts in Japan for each crane made by a student over
Spring Break (http://studentsrebuild.org/japan/). Well, Jack didn't make
these but I'm not going to tell them that. (The quarter is for scale.)

Finally finished my socks! (See PS2010 330/365.) Wish the pic wasn't blurry,
but that's what I get for taking it at night and refusing to use a flash.

My latest Zentangle project: A box to hold my pens. I took the box from an
order of checks, pulled it apart, and cut it down. I still need to spray it
with sealer or something or it's going to get beat up in my purse pretty
quickly.

Sorry for the crappy photo. Tyler took the camera to work today. Sarah (from
sister blog Envisage) told me about these reusable bags for your produce.
What a great idea. I already use reusable bags why not get rid of the
plastic bags I use for all of 2 minutes! 1 yard of mesh fabric and some
ribbon, hour and a half later BAM you have 6 reusable bags :) Thanks Sarah!!
