108: After the rain

This is my purple iris. I'm a huge fan of macro pictures. I love taking them. I love finding intricate details in everyday normal things. The prospective you don't usually catch. The view you will only see if you really stop and look for it. I've got a neat wall photo gallery that these are going to be a part of. I'll have to show you a picture sometime :)

107: Tea cups are kinda stupid

But little canvases of tea cups are cheap. 

$1 at Michael's.

(I think)

Cover that stupid cup up!

Then miss the pink, and paint it pink again with some pretty little flower buds. Flowers are way cooler than tea cups.

Simple circles and stalks. No big. You can totally do that.

106: It's actually quite fitting for me

 Blank envelope. Check.

 Snip.

 Snip snip snip.

 TA DA!

 **snickers**

 I totally did

How did you know?! 

Super cheap. Super easy. 

Bookmarks that slide over your page corners.

105: Anna has a twin!

Oh look!!! (super sarcasm voice) It uploaded sideways. 

Madeline is Anna's twin sister. 

I made her a cool hanging tile too.

104: It's Anna's birthday!

Ok, so here's the deal. I made this super cute hanging tile for Anna for her birthday. That's and A. The stupid photo thingy won't let me turn the picture, so tilt your head and take a gander. Since I did this on a whim, you only get the two pictures. Sorry. I'm all sorts of sucking on this post. I will give you a step by step though! Just in case you want to try it for yourself! :) 

See how nice I am?!?!

1.) Find a blank tile. This was given to me along with a huge stack of others when a friend moved recently.

2.) Glue (Gorilla Glue is KING) a picture hanger onto the back. Nice and centered.

3.) Pick a pretty color of acrylic paint (or two, or three).

4.) Paint your tile. Cover it nice and thick (trust me, two layers is much easier to scratch off than one).

5.) Get yourself a nice sharp pencil.

6.) Start scratching your design out of the paint.

7.) When you're finished scratching, brush off all of the flecks of paint.

8.) Find some acrylic sealant and spray a coat over the tile.

9.) Wait for it to dry and find the perfect 11 year old to gift it too! :)

103: Kelsies super late birthday present

Canvas. Gotta love canvas. 

"No colors anymore I want them to turn black" 

 Shiny silver and purple swirlies.

And there you have it!

102: Not my best idea yet

The Boy and I went on a walk all Stand By Me style down the tracks. We had a nice leisurely walk down to the bridge. (I wore the wrong shoes - I don't want to talk about it) 

Along the way, we found these: 

And decided to make ...wait for it... wind chimes. I know, I know. You don't have to tell me. I was thinking something like this... 

But then remembered I couldn't weld. Or solder. Or anything like that. The end result? A 35 pound wind chime that I'm afraid to walk under...
