Decorating some more spheres!

April 05, 2010 2 Comments
It sounds so funny when you say you're crafting some decorative balls....my husband snickers every time I say it, so now I try to remember to say spheres. Not nearly as funny, but it  keeps me from rolling my eyes all the time. :)

My husband collects the bands off the cigars that he smokes. He has A LOT of cigar bands. He keeps these bands everywhere, and they are hidden. They're not even displayed nicely. Its seems a shame....especially since he's so proud of his collection, so we've been batting around some ideas to display some of the more 'pretty' bands.

Displaying Your Kid's Art

This is the frame after a whooping 10 minutes.
The bottom seems blank....
So there are a ton of tutorials and ideas out there for how to display your child's masterpieces, and I'm just going to throw my idea into the fray as well. :)  Now let me explain....it's not done. It needs something. Maybe one of you will be able to help me out.....I hope so. 

I have long wanted to display Dev's (and eventually H's) artwork and feature it in one room or another. The other dilemma......my husband. I love him dearly and he has very good design sense....we just have different design senses. :) I like a modern take on vintage shabby. I love black. I love girly touches, but not to girly....just a hint of femininity,which is the problem I'm having now because this needs something else to finish it. Its masculine....I need the right flourish to make it mine. :)

Besides what I've already mentioned this craft was so quick to make, before I decided to add the moulding. I got the project 'completed' in like 10 minutes, then I decided I needed to add more. Gotta love stuff you can do so quick though! So on to what was done...

Random Thoughts...

Daddy was goofing around with
Dev's viking helmet from McD's
First I must celebrate! Harrison is celebrating his half-birthday today! Yay! I can't believe my little guy is 6 months old already....wow...time has flown, now on to the rest of the post...but be warned....H is going to be joining us in this post in honor of his half-birthday!

So I was blog surfing today, like I do every multiple times a day, and I have noticed that almost everyone makes their own patterns for clothing. I am feeling left out. 1 - I cannot draw...if you want stick figures, well stick figures that have legs that aren't attached, then call me. 2 - I guess I am not brave enough to try......or maybe I lack the imagination and/or creativeness to actually design a piece of clothing from scratch.
