A Peek at the New Paint

kanniduba6 Comments

Okay, so I know I promised photos of the living room, and have been very neglectful!  As I explained to my friend Anywho this morning, my living room hasn’t been neat enough to photogaph!  By the time it’s all put back together after the kids are in bed, I’m too tired to bother.  So, today I tidied up enough so as not to embarrass myself.  Just please ignore the socks under the radiator (that I didn’t see until after the photo was taken…wonder how long those have been there?)  These few will have to do for now.  🙂

 

One other peek…

And one of the white walls…

The paint is dark, but with two walls white and so many windows,  it isn’t overpowering.  Now, if only I had the money for new furniture and rugs!  Ah well, all in good time.  Maybe when I no longer have little people spilling juice, and dropping and sitting on chocolate chips and other goodies?  Or leaving pens, pencils, and crayons stuck in between cushions?  Yeah, that’s when I’ll get new stuff!  🙂

More Fun with Straws

And in case you were wondering, no I didn’t get any housework done today…or projects for that matter.  I did squeeze in errands and two loads of laundry between photo taking and blogging however.  The day isn’t a total loss!

I dedicate these photos to Mr. STPhoto…who will be personally hugging Mickey on my behalf in a matter of days.  😉

Snowflake Ornaments…

Daily asked, so here they are!  The instructions…

You’ll need little styrofoam balls (1 and 1/2 inch):

Craft glue and glitter:

Corsage pins, and short pins:

Several varieties of beads of your choosing and—

A razor blade:

1) Cut balls into flat rounds using the blade, cover them with glue and a crapload of glitter, let dry.

2)  Load corsage pin with beads in a pretty pattern…leave about 1/2 inch at the end.

3) Stick pin into some glue, and into the side of styrofoam round.

4)  Continue, using a total of 6 corsage pins.

5) Continue the above process with six short pins and beads, inserting short pins in between the corsage pins.

6) Admire and photograph your handiwork…

Oh, yeah, and don’t forget to attach some sort of hanger from one of the pins…clear jewelry-making line, or a ribbon should do.

So easy!  Have fun!
