Long time back...

 I painted these small pots with warm colors and detailed indian motif..

today, I felt like changing them...so I painted them white with uneven texture and  adorn with tiny flowers  ....

just a little dab of  blue, yellow and red....

the magic started against the white background...

 I am planning to plant some scculents it them... so a trip to the garden center this weekend... 

this one with bright red strawberry with polka dots ....its good to change things around...what do you think?

Here comes Cock-A-Doodle-Do

Hello Friends... How are you all? Hope you all are doing wonderful...so we entered the month of February. January felt like a blink to me, came and went away so quickly. Last week, in my previous post, I shared some beautiful pics of rooster family....this up cycle project is totally inspired by it.

I like up cycling things, I get excited to use something that is easily available or free and turn it into something new. And what I hoard the most is empty plastic boxes, sturdy cardboard boxes and burlap sacks. Yes...we are a rice eating family...and we buy it in bulk.  For this project, I have used an empty rice sack and felt. I was running low on red felt, so I replaced it with old red cloth bag. It is an easy project, it took me half an hour to finish it. Now, I store my plastic bags inside this burlap chicken. Here are some pics for you, hope you will like it ...

My chicken is looking cute sitting on a kitchen counter....stuffed with the plastic grocery bags.

Let me know if you have any question.. See you soon!

Easy Crafting

 hello friends...so spring has finally arrived but its really unspring like here. I just came back after dropping my son to school and its Sooo cold outside. I am really waiting for mild sunny weather,  hope it will bless us soon. Time is really flying fast I don't know where my days are going. March is going to end in five days, it went so swiftly. I am so looking forward to this Summer...I am going to India for my summer vacation YIPEE. I am going to see my parents after three years.I am really excited about it... Ok now, coming back to the project now that I am sharing today. These are real easy one, this brown shredded paper came in the box as a protection cover with our online order. I really like the color so I turned it into a small wreath like thing...now it hangs on my closet door..I am brushing my crocheting skill these days (will share my new crochet project in next post) so I ended up adding crochet flower to it.

This cute letter monogram made by my daughter....it is easy to make and is good fun project with kids. She is used beads and puffy paint to decorate. I painted the base with light blue acrylic paint with dark blue shading in between. Hope you will like these two easy peasy project. Have a good day!

Paper Decor

Hello Friends... thanks for visiting my blog & Facebook page, I really appreciate it. Today, I am sharing this inexpensive decor idea that I saw on Pinterest. It's an easy project children will love it too. All you need is an old book or paper of your choice, a piece of a cardboard ( i cut mine in circle), and glue. It's  pretty simple, I folded the page in a cone shape and start gluing them on the cardboard circle one by one starting from the outer edge and then moving inward as you can see in pictures below...

 after my circle is almost covered with paper cones, I added a rolled paper rose(used a construction paper)  in the middle...

 and to compliment the blue flower I did some shading(using marker) on petals . Hope you will try it too. Here is a link to the Pinterest Board and Video you can watch!

Have a good day!

A Cute Storage Bin

Hello Dear friends...hope you all are doing well. This year, part of my goal is to organize better and find ways to teach children the same. Its really frustrating when you are searching for things around the house and you can't find it. So I am trying to simplifying things and making designated spots for every thing these days. And where I am going to start first...obviously the kitchen. One of the biggest challenge is to store the plastic grocery bags. I need it all the time for small garbage bins. Earlier I was shoving them in a bigger bag...well not now because I have made a pretty spot for it. So now, as soon as grocery bags come inside the house I fold them and put them in this cute container I made. Once the container is full I just recycle the rest.That way I am not collecting too much. Here are few pictures how I made it ...  

                               I decided to recycle this tomato can...I just painted it and mod podge some flowers on it.

                               Then to cover the top I made a canopy with a construction paper...

                                and its done.

Hope you like the idea... tell me about your organizing ideas I would love to see them ...see you soon
