Tada!
I started a bunch of projects, foolishly, and have finally finished them. I am so grateful that Kirk has encouraged this outlet for my creativity. It's been an investment in several cans of spray paint, fabric, and hours spent in the local craft stores. But I feel so happy cheering up my home and having a hobby that I enjoy.
The two large frames that I bought at a garage sale for $2 really confounded me. I finally decided to paint them black and the inside canvas I was inspired by this. We just put them up and I'm iffy. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to that space being occupied.
Instead of leaves I wanted to paint these (just a solid color, no eye or wing details etc), but Kirk vetoed it. I'll sit on it...whoo knows, maybe the owls will have a comeback.
Next is the 3 framed flowers. These were fun to do since they don't have to be perfect. The tutorial was well done though I'd advise being especially careful not to burn yourself with the hot glue.
And my practical kitchen addition. I thought if I was accountable to a posted list that I would plan out meals a bit better. At a meeting a few weeks ago, the topic was friendship and the speaker mentioned how she loved the color yellow because it was so cheerful and uplifting. I am definitely a product of my environment. If it's overcast I'm depressed. If the house is tidy I'm energetic. Anyway, since we spend a lot of time in the kitchen I thought I'd add some yellow where I could. Here's where I got the frame idea. Wish I had a dry erase marker on hand so I could make it look complete, but you get the idea.

Framed Flowers
This
needs something, anything! I got these at the thrift store (I paid $4 for all three)
and am currently doing this. Black paint to come after they're dry.
It will hopefully look like that!

Making Progress
I'm still stewing about these frames though I did see this and immediately thought it would work, bunny and all. Just kidding. Maybe a flower silhouette....
