Yesterday on my way to work I saw a man jogging while juggling.
Driving a PT Cruiser feels like driving a sofa.
I made a wreath. I want to paint the front door, but what colour? Suggestions will be taken into consideration.
For the wreath form I used that pipe foam insulation stuff you put around pipes, pulled it into the circular form and duct taped it. Then I cut about 7 or 8 pieces of letter sized paper into teardrop shapes (kind of randomly – not all the exact same) and folded them in half to give them some volume, and used glue gun to put affix them, overlapping a bit, onto my foam circle.
Do you ever keep a list of things you’d like in your mind, and keep an eye out at thrift stores thinking one day you might just find it? Or on the side of the road for random discards…? Me too!
I finally found a chalkboard for a dollar, perfect for the kitchen. S. had been wanting one for a while. Now it is hanging in a frame collage in our kitchen. Here is a photo series of it’s transformation.













Emerald green? Cerulean blue? Something bright, anyway.
Yes, something bright! I was thinking yellow, or maybe red, but red seems so obvious. I do love the cerulean blue though… I’m going that colour with some stuff in the spare bedroom.
Chelsie, I think I forgot to comment before—- your home is looking fantastic, I love what you’re doing and how thriftily you’re going about it. That framed chalkboard is too cool.
