MY Bathroom (part 2)

Crafty Creations for April 4th, 2013
-In light of April becoming our month to "Burlap".  I thought I ought to finally share the other half of "MY Bathroom" Project.

 I figured after a few hot steamy showers the burlap would relax a litter, and eventually it did.  This was very simple.  above the mirror I hammered in two small nails on each side of the light to hook the burlap.  On the drapes where it was a bit too thick and around the upper corners I just tucked some of the fabric behind the mirror and it automatically secured itself.

 Above the burlap as you can see I cut up some silk flowers and fake floral with some needle nose plyers (DO NOT USE SCISSORS) to give me about 3 inches of thick wire and just stuck the fake plants into the the burlap's tiny squares, no glue, and was secured.  Same with the the nest, although I had to glue the eggs in with my cool glue gun, but the nest had long stick pieces to secure into foam or other material, which worked well with the burlap.

 The birds came with clips on the bottom of them so I just clipped them to the floral as if they were sitting on them, and moved the floral around some so I could hide the clips in order to give that "natural" nature allure.

I had bought everything from my local JoAnn's store, except for the pine like branches, I had purchased at my local Hobby Lobby store.  I'd say all the materials cost me no more than $30 (max.). I collect my coupons and get everything on sale or discounted somehow, between apps, e-mails, mailers, and site coupons, it can all add up in your favor.

I truly hope you enjoy this project because even though someone may have done something like it (which I haven't seen yet), this is one of those special ideas that just popped into my head, and I really think it came out to be a beautiful project and inspire some of you!

What's the difference between "How To's by my Design" and "Crafty Creations"?  Well, I'll tell ya....
"How To's by my Design" would/ and can be apart of "Crafty Creations" because it was my crafty creation, however, they're specifically made from my brain, although I've found others have made something similar afterwards, these weren't inspired from someone else. "Craft Creations" is stuff I made whether it was inspired by a magazine, book, blog, Pinterest, any other social networking page, or just floated out my head one day.  However most have been inspired, if inspired from Pinterest.  Any who, so you all don't think I'm a total ditz, that is why I separated the two.  When I get a great idea it doesn't occur often, so I want to share what comes out my creative mind and let it be known that "I thought this!" (lol)

Pin of the Week April 14-21

I don't care what anyone says, or what season it is burlap is always a YES!

If it looks too autumn-y to you, there's always burlap that is colored and fabric dyes, which makes for a full range of ideas and ways you can use the "burlap roses".  For the full tutorial and video clip you go to http://leenthegraphicsqueen.blogspot.ca/2012/10/burlap-rose-tutorial.html.

Pin of the Week April 7 - 14

Place mats.  They're really nice to have when little ones are running around, so why not use them to bring some style to your table!

Truly lovely and cute!  I love the "natural" look in almost everything, like your earthy tones, which I'm thinking about going with a major bedroom renovation project that will be built on everything natural.
This is a cute and simple project, no sewing involved.  You can check this project out at: http://thefinalboardingcall.blogspot.com/2012/07/diy-burlap-placemats.html

Update

My daughter is doing well, thank you for your prayers. I got a final due tomorrow, but I think we gonna be bloggin' tonight! : )

Once Again...

My life had been a bit overwhelming, I apologize for the delays in everything but everything has to be put on hold for a minute.  I'm not too much of a religious person, but please pray my daughter gets over her illness soon, with a quick recovery and it doesn't come back again. I know I'm being vague, but that's all I can share for now.  I never get scared whenever she gets ill but this time it's getting kind of scary. Thank your for your time and patience.

Crafty Creations will be posted sometime this evening...

All my data/pics/info is on my other computer and so there will be a slight delay but there will be a new post sometime tonight, so no one worry. Also I'll still be posting an April Fool's day prank list. (We like to have fun here) and we don't need it to be April fool's to do pranks! Also I really don't have anything for Children's book Day, I do but I don't want to share until I've made it, so this will have to wait until next, BUT I promise I got an AMAZING idea(s).  ; )
