Artsy Fartsy

Happy July! It's my birthday month!

My art-coffee-mayhem partner has flown the coop to un-sunny Oregon...and I miss her terribly. It's been a year since she moved (can't believe that!) and I am finally feeling creative again. I've got a few painting projects in the works.

Lately I've crafted an old pair of tights into some cute over the knee socks/thigh highs. Yay! I also found a cool toy sink at the Goodwill and decoupaged it into sauciness worthy of my kitchen. It started out pee-pee yellow and ended up like this. I love the "chrome" sink and drainboard. It even has a tiny little drain plug on a chain. (Beware, friends who send me mail. Your gifts end up chopped and glued, but well loved!)

You can see my Hello Kitty toys and wind-up sushi as well :)

I also pink-ified our carport indirectly when I spray painted a shelf red for the kitchen. Here's my little cookbook area. My next idea is to somehow get a fishnet pattern onto that mannequin leg. Fun! Bonus Smorkin and hula hoop visibility.


Next project is to do something fun with my wine corks. Maybe something like this.




Cheers!

Aw, I love crafty little projects like this! I used to do stuff like that all the time. I was the decoupage queen. But I lost my muse somewhere along the way. I need to get back into that. I think I transferred that creativity into baking and developing recipes for the cookbook...but I should find some balance and get artsy again.

very crafty. couldn't you just get a fishnet tight to put on the one leg? then you could change the stocking based on the season.

My girlfriend took her wine corks and made a divot with them. She used regular glue and not hot glue. It looks so cute when we eat over there and she has it on the table.
