This really doesn’t qualify as a house project but it will
be hanging in my house, so close enough. I’m not a huge crafter but I like to
do them at times when I become especially inspired. And by inspired I mean I
see a photo of something I want to copy. A few weeks ago in one of my too many
hours perusing Facebook I saw a photo of a 4th of July clothespin
wreath. I thought it was really cute so I
was determined to make it. However, as
all projects go, I procrastinated. Realizing that the 4th of July is
less than a week away I decided I needed to get ‘er done (vom). Anyhoo, I spent
yesterday buying the supplies and painting all of these little pins by
hand. I was told I just should have done
them with spray paint but I like the brush strokes and there is just something
kind of relaxing about painting. It took me all afternoon but I rate this as a
great success. I am very pleased and usually I’m a tough critic of my own work.
If it’s not perfect, it’s terrible. So this is obviously perfect. J
Also, random home story…
A few weeks ago we had a bricklayers move an exterior window
in our master bathroom. The bathroom is
completely gutted at the moment and we are moving the window in order to
install a bathtub. On Thursday I pulled into the driveway, when it suddenly hit
me that I had no access into the house.
My husband had taken my car to the shop so I had stolen my mom’s car. I
never grabbed a spare key so I was shut out.
I spent about a half an hour at my parents’ house looking for a key to
my house to no avail. I finally returned
back to my house in hopes of finding an unlocked window. I angrily stomped to
the backyard to see if one of the windows on my deck would let me in… when I
saw my uninstalled bathroom window, duh. I proceeded to un-wedge the window,
drag a chair over to the gaping hole and very ungracefully slide through. I was
so happy I was actually inside of my house. However, I’m even more concerned
about how easy that was. Hopefully no one decides to un-wedge in before we can
get it fixed! I think it’s time to buy a fake rock to hide a spare key.
