it's the little things

 
Slowly , slowly on the mend.

 
I'm still not able to do too much
 

 
but I did manage to gather all the old bits of necklaces
and ear rings that the teen girl and I had no use for
 

 
and connected them to an old fan cover.
 
They sparkle and shine as they hang
and looking at all the different things makes me so happy.
 
It's the little things.

tick tock

 
I have a small obsession with clocks.

 
I have a whole pinterest board dedicated to clocks.

 
I have at least 3 clocks in every room of the house .

 
My husband tolerates my obsession and even turned
up with this daggy creation the other day assuring me
that I could fix it up.

 
I wasted no time turning it into a pretty nice ticker.
 
The paint I used was White Knight ~ Squirts ~ Quick Dry
Gloss Enamel ~ Mint.

let there be light ........or maybe not

 
One of my favourite Vinnie's had this light fitting in their shop.
It sat there winking at me every time I went in there .
Unfortunately I don't have a light that this will fit on.

 
It continued to taunt me for weeks until I brought it home.

 
I turned it upside and poured a few buttons in.

 
I kept pouring....

 
I poured some more....

 
lucky I have so many buttons .

please be seated

 
There is something very satisfying about picking
up a daggy piece of furniture
 
 
and turning it into

 
something really nice

 
and very pretty.

 
This piece is going to be really useful too because when
I was working on it I discovered it has a space under
the seat that I could file documents or.......
 
 
.... other important things .

Creative time has been very limited lately but
I did manage to make a fly swatter mobile , as you do.
