Topsy Gardening Pots

Do you remember when I blogged about some gardening ideas? There was 1 project on there, that I really wanted to make. Those topsy looking pots. I REALLY wanted to make them! That post was written back in February. It's now August!!

I'm the size of the moon! Weeks away from meeting our baby girl. And those pots are still on my mind! I'd been telling my mom-in-law about them. And when my in-laws came into town for our Baby Shower, they bought us all the supplies. And showed us this tutorial. :)

Well, for the last few weeks, everything has been sitting in our garage. We had meant, to get busy a few weekends ago. Actually, right after my in-laws bought the supplies, our mommas got busy painting. We have 20+ pots that are painted and ready! They had offered to make us these little guys, while they were here. But we wanted to spend time together. Enjoying the fact, that our family was here.


Here we are. Weeks away from meeting our daughter. In the crazy August heat! I'm the size of the moon. And all of a sudden, I need to finish 100 projects!! Crazy....even I know this! But I went shopping today. With a friend. And picked up a bunch of flowers, and some herbs. I figured now that we've made a little financial investment in the project, there is no putting it off!

My hubs agreed. Tomorrow, we're working on these cuties. As soon as we get home from the Farmers' Markey. I know! But this momma is in desperate need of fresh bread, produce, and plenty of Kettle Korn! Maybe even a fresh lemonade. :) ~Chels

Inspired

I think I've said it more than once, I'm not crafty. But I try. I'm always inspired by people's ideas. Especially when I sit and go through Pinterest, for hours and hours. That site is just so darn addicting!! So is Lola's blog! Either she's making something, or blogging about something she wants to make. That's where I seen this picture....


And now, I feel like our door NEEDS a wreath just like this! So much so, I wobbled to Hobby Lobby. Picked up some fun polka dot material. And some felt. And lace. Oh, and the wreath form. Now I'm going to sit under the AC, and try to make some crafty miracles happen. If all goes well, we should have a wreath. Hopefully by tomorrow! ~Chels
