HAPPY FEET

I've just finished a project!
I've been working on it since Valentine's Day!

I'm calling it my "Happy Feet" pot.

I love the way it turned out.

I purchased this big silver pot from Big Lots for about ten dollars.
The color was not right for this project
and so I repainted it with the same
blue I used on my
"Catbird Garden" sign.

Once again I salvaged these Styrofoam feet from VS.
We had used them in Mukluks
this past Christmas
in our "PINK" shop.

Last year a friend had given us some pillows and fabric.
We used the pillows outside
so I thought the fabric would be perfect for
covering my feet.

I cut the fabric in small pieces.

Then Mod Podged them onto the feet.

I needed to water proof them so...

I applied four coats on "Outdoor" Mod Podge.
Couldn't find this in my town so I
ordered it online.

Now that Spring has sprung I planted my pot.
I used a Crystal Peak Obedient plant,
a Lacrosse Shasta Daisy,
a Blue Daze Evolvulus,
and some Creeping Jenny.

So there you have it.
My "Happy Feet" pot.
TOO MUCH FUN!

Now all I have to do is find
the perfect spot
and show off this little guy.

This and That

Who knew that it was Groundhog Day.

Apparently I was too busy

crafting and blogging to know whats happening

in the real world.

I had the day off today so I decided to work on a craft project

I started last week.

I had hit the "After Christmas Sales" and picked up several

boxes of Christmas balls for 80% off.

A few years ago I had decoupaged some with music paper

and absolutely loved them.

Because burlap is so popular

I thought I'd try my luck with that.

It was way too hard to work with so

I gave it up.

Then I decided to try brown craft paper and origami

paper that I had on hand.

My vision is... a gardening theme tree for next year.

I'm thinking anything garden related or

nature themed.

Here are a couple of my finished ornaments.

Brown paper was applied in little pieces with

Mod Podge, I added some bird motifs

from an outdated calendar.

I'm pleased with these two. I experimented with

some fabric pieces as well, but I need to play

with them a little more.

The brown craft paper definitely

worked the best for what I

have in mind.

Very organic.

Here is one more thing brown craft paper is good for.
