Two very cool things happened today.. well actually 3 if you count these bird houses being so stinking cute..
#1. My husband suprised me with an electric Miter Saw .. he said he was walking thru Home Depot and saw it and thought of me.
Now I know some of you are going.. "awwwww Lucky... !!" and the rest are going " Whaaattttttt????? "
Well for the bunch that are thinking how very cool that is.. I totally agree.. picture frames are going to be so much fun to make and all those things from the Knock off wood blog that I keep wanting to try.. will be alot easier.. so this is really very neato.... For the rest.. ehhh check back later..you'll see what I mean.
#2.. We had some very necessary laughter at work today.. Laughing at yourself is always so much fun.. ..
and #3 Look at how cute my birdy houses are coming along.... I put a coat of rather neutral..paint on them and painted the stands and now tomorrow I get to do the fun part.. be decorative..and creative.. all that stuff we all like so much..
but,,, .. I was bored and since I was in the garage playing with my new saw anyway.. and the spray paint was just kinda sitting there handy.. .. well, you get my drift..
Mostly these are painted with just regular craft paint.. like the Folkart little bottles.
( I found a bag of 10 at Goodwill for a dollar) .. I just slopped it on with a stencil brush, nothing fancy.. and I painted the candle holders with the same paint.. Some of them are metal some are ceramic and a couple are wood. the paint seems to work fine on all of them..
I washed them up with soap and water first and then just globbed on the paint.. A couple I sprayed but mostly I painted them with the craft paint at my kitchen counter..
Doesn't this green one look like the Grinch lives in there.??. like it should be in Who-ville.??
The Chalet of the Grinch... lol..
the very necessary laughing at yourself...yeah...Hot Lips...it was necessary :)
