Spring bracelets and a new table topper!!

I made a few bracelets. I found the idea here. This one I made for Olivia. Someone needs to explain that it goes on her wrist.

Now she gets the idea!

I am such a big copy cat. I got this next idea on the same blog:

I did not really enjoy this project. By the time I sewed all of the ruffles, I was so sick of my crappy sewing machine that I actually hot glued them onto the runner!!! I got the CUTE glassware at TJ Maxx. I wasn't sure what to put in them. I was thinking candles, but my sis in law suggested jelly beans. What did I decide?

BOTH, of course!!

Pretty!!

I have a new hobby...

and it is spray painting everything in sight! I painted a ton of stuff this weekend. But I only took before and after shots of a couple of them. I am so amazed by what a coat or two of spray paint will do! I spray painted my knife block black (try saying that 5 times fast). Now it just blends in with my countertop and backsplash instead of being an eyesore. I am so happy! I also repainted this heinous monkey tray:

Now it looks like this (please ignore the weird streakiness, I wiped it down with water and then was too impatient for it to totally dry before taking this picture):

Then, Kaedon brought home pretty Easter flowers for moi and I dug up this vase:

The orange made me feel pukey so I whipped out the white spray paint this time. I dug around in the craft drawer until I found a ribbon that made me happy and here is the result:

I love it and it makes me feel cheerful every time I go into the kitchen!

I heart spray paint!

Happy Easter!!

That second picture is what I call....reality.
