You know how it goes...they are about 90-95% finished and then you just lose all your momentum. I have a LOT of caulking to do and I just dread it...so I have been procrastinating!! Instead, I have been reading up a storm. So if you happen to be my friend on Goodreads, then you know why I haven't had time to do projects and post about them! I am busy trying to keep up with my husband on our reading goals for the year. He is a book or two ahead of me...how does that happen?? He works ALL the time and he is still ahead of me. Well, technically just in number of books...but I am sure I am ahead in number of pages!!
Oh, and I must admit that I have been playing with my new iPad a litle too much. That thing is just too versatile and so convenient.
But...anyway...here is a little spring project I did a little while back. I love the look of kissing balls, but I've never made one. I started to make some for Valentines day with those little crepe paper roses, but I never got around to buying the styrofoam balls. So next Valentine's I will probably actually finish that project. I have a box full of roses just waiting....
These flowers were on a great sale at JoAnn's and my house was in need of some cheerful Spring decor. So I thought they would be perfect....
I simply popped each flower off of its stem and put some hot glue on the back...
...and stuck them all over the ball.
I used some hot glue and a push pin to attach a beautiful spring ribbon (found at the Dollar Store!) and hung it in front of my mirror. Then as I was scouring my house for other "spring-y" decorations, I remembered about these little chinese lantern lights.
Two years ago when we bought our patio set, we bought these. I had envisioned them hanging from our patio umbrella and how darling they would look....well, we've never even brought them out of the box. I love how they look on the mantel and I just plugged them into the outlet that is hooked to the lights above, so they all come on with one flip of a switch!!
