Kitchen Art Inspiration..

Soo, while I was *ahem* working at the group home last weekend, I ran across this crafty little idea on Pinterest.

I found it here..

I'm more of a dark color fan, soo, I got some

silverware..

 Not sure if it's true or not, but I saw

something on Pinterest that said to wipe

metal objects down with vinegar before

painting them to keep the paint from peeling,

but I thought I would give it a try.

Lol.  No one would say that on Pinterest

unless it's true, right?

I wasn't taking any chances.  Lol.

I wiped them down with vinegar.

 Found a box that my husband was nice

enough to leave laying around

and started spraying my silverware.

 Flat black spray paint, found out

it's best to wear rubber gloves when

working with this..  Thankfully, my

husband also has some heavy duty

hand cleaner!  : )..

 Flipped them after one side dried and

sprayed them again.  Let them dry,

pulled them out..

Found a little wooden tray / frame

that was laying around here,

added a little burlap, added

some little thumb tacks to hold

the creation on, and then

added my newly blackened

silverware.

Voila!  Easy peasy!

Love the look of the dark

colors.  Still have a lotta

burlap left, they had it on sale

at Joann's this week,

so (sorry Bliss!), I'll have

a lotta burlap creations to come!

Joining up with DebbieDoo's

Newbie party this week!

Great host!  Great blog!

Great ideas!  Great newbies!

: )..

I can't wait for Saturday! Woohoo!

Shhh.  It's a secret.  Something will be here that is small, just a little bit bigger than a breadbox.  Brownish-tanish.  Looks like something we already have in the house that got bigger and crankier.  It's actually related to something that we already have in the house that got bigger and crankier.  I can't wait until it's here!  I'm going to love it and hug it and call it George.  Nah.  Actually if I have my way, I am going to name it Fergus. 

Hmm.  I wonder, wonder, wonder what it is.  Hmm.  Is it a bird?  Nope!  Is it a squirrel?  Nope!  Uh uhh.  Hmm.  What could it be??  What.could.it.be?  Shhh.  It's a secret.  I'll give you one more hint.  It has huge teeth.  I haven't even seen it yet, but I can already tell you and guarantee you!  It has huge teeth.  Trust me on that!  Woot!  Woot!  I can't wait for Saturday!

Speaking of brownish things that we already have in the house that got bigger and crankier and have huge teeth (ha), Milo and Emmy have appointments with Aunt Chelsea to get their hair done today!  Yay!  No more scraggly little puppies!  No more Ernest Borgnine eyebrows!  Yay!  Just two smelly good little Scottish Hooligans that will no doubt find something stinky to roll in once we get home.  Lol. 

We are also stopping by PetSmart for a little..  Umm..  "I am the pack leader" training with one of those little Scottish Hooligans because this next little thing is not a chew toy to be ripped to shreds.  We are going to have a few little lessons that have already begun and have been well received.  Now we just have to add fur and brownish things that get bigger and crankier and have huge teeth into the mix to make sure that we fully understand the concept of be nice and leave it!  Hopefully we can avoid the drop it game.  I have limes at my disposal.  Ha!  I won't hesitate to use them!

Hmm.  I wonder what the surprise might be?  Hmm.  This is going to be a loooong, looooong week.  : )..  Woot! 

Ugh.. It is a Monday.. Well.. Technically my Tuesday? : )..

Soo, technically, I have skipped my "Monday" and am on an extended "Tuesday" since I worked a shift at the group home yesterday.  I looove getting to skip Monday.  Works for me, cause I was all about this a few minutes ago...

Not that I was in a bad mood about Monday, that's just how much energy I could muster.  Lol.

But then I was visited by something like this who gave me a couple puppy kisses and a little bit of momma time and I was feelin a little better. : ).. Click here for the link for that picture..

  I had planned on doing something similar to this as my crafty project this weekend, but am stymied for a minute because the bottle cutting project has hit a few snags and I haven't quite figured them out yet. I lit it on fire like it was supposed to, and surprisingly, lol, my friend and I still have all of our eyebrows. Ha! We (or she at times) were debating whether we would make it through it in tact. : )..

That was what my "touch" item would have been used for. I have an alternate project that I am going to make until I can iron out my snags.

Alrighty.  Time to face the day.  Woot!

Long day.. Whew..

Only worked one shift, had dinner out, watched part of the Republican debate through the backs of my eyelids and haven't done much else.  Puppies are sacked out, snuggling together and think that it's about time that I do the same.  Still got my project to work on, but think that the backs of my eyelids are winning.  Here are some cute pics to end the night with.....  : )..

Until tomorrow..  Peaceful slumbers..

Rainy and gloomy outside, but it's Saturday! : )..

Awww.. This has to be the cutest puppy video!

Beware!  It will make you want one of these puppies.  They are adorable!  Lol.  Whatta cute video!

You want one..  Don'tcha?  Me too!  : )..
