So, while I have been on Spring Break
I got a bit crafty.
I wanted some St. Patty's plates but
could not find any so I made my own
from plates from the Dollar Tree.
I just used a Sharpie to write each
saying on the plate. I added gold
dots in the shamrock for some
bling.
For this plate, I found an Irish saying.
I was very pleased with these.
Found this cute garland at JoAnn's.
Thought I could just hang it up but
noooo, I had to string the darn
thing first. Pretty cute huh?
So, if you remember my yarn heart
from Valentine's, this will look
familiar.
I cut out my version of an egg (it
got squished) bought some
variegated yarn in spring colors
and started wrapping it around
my cutout.
I added some eggs for bling and a
ribbon then hung it on the front
door. Cutting out eggs from card-
board is not easy.

Here is the Misc. I am so happy
with it.
For those who did not see this on
Facebook, one of the gals that
I work with is beginning to down
size her home and she was giving
away several pieces of furniture.
Yes, I said giving away.
I am the happy recipient of this
little beauty.
Above is a daytime shot. On top I
have a poured sand sculpture from
Arizona and a statue from New Mexico.
The other item is a flower ball that my
Mom gave me years ago.I am not really
sure what it is made from though.
This is a nighttime shot, love the light
on the inside.
On the top shelf I have two tea sets
from my Mom and one from a friend
plus a teacup. I collected them along
time ago but have since stopped.
The second shelf has two figurines
from when Mr. Ken and I got married,
a quartz rock from a vacation and my
"Welcome" house blocks.
The "floor" of the cabinet holds a
picture of Mr. Ken's parents, one of us
and one of my Mom.
So happy to have this fun addition to our
living room and to think I got it for FREE!!
~Keep on Dreaming~
Enjoyed your craft ideas. They look so cute. Your misc. is great and it looks so pretty with the light. I have a tea set that was my grandmother's and I enjoy looking at it, too.
