Projects: 2015 Edition
So I should probably be posting pictures of my office. I mean, I promised such pictures to at least a few of you and it has been done (technically) for aaaages and I've been working from my shiny home office since mid-December... However, it's one of those things where I can't seem to post any pictures until it is PERFECT and I'm still in the process of hanging final touches or clearing away the last bits of clutter so I keep putting off the pictures. Hey, I'm allowed to make you all think my house is clean, tidy, and ultra-nifty by staging it all!
So, instead of the office, I present to you a trio of projects that I completed yesterday.
First up, a hot air balloon! This sucker cost me about $2 to make and I just saw that the paper lantern I used is back in Dollar Trees again in case anyone feels itchy fingers. The materials were said paper lantern, a wee 99 cent basket from the craft store that I tea-stained, some broken bits of jewelry, some Mardi Gras beads (earned honestly, I swear!), and some lace from my stash. Oh, and copious amounts of hot glue.
Next I threw together two Easter wreaths. The kissing-bunny one is mine and the other one will go to my parents to dispose of it as they will (Either keep it for themselves or give it to an elderly lady who adopted them ages ago). The baskets were 2 for a buck at the Dollar Tree and that's where I also picked up the fake grass and the adorable chick eggs and carrot eggs. Seriously, aren't those things illegally cute? The laces are from my stash and the purple bunny is also from a random box of stuffed toys I have.
So there we go. I promise there will be office pictures!
Eventually.
