Crosses, Star Wars, Titles and Fibro
This shall be an all around blog post today...
course you are used to that from me!
Yesterday was a produced day as far as
errands and getting somethings done, but not
crafting....since I had to adult and do
something that needed doing.
But for now I will let you guess where
I am!
Came out this morning to the sound of
a slow gentle pitter patter of rain hitting
the tin roof.
THEN all of a sudden a down pour!
Dakota was curled up next to me on
the glider cause he hates that sound!
We are now back to the gentle sound..
and I am enjoying my 2nd cup of
coffee.
My trip to Calif is coming up
fast but not fast enough I need
to see my son.
In the mean time while
surfing PINTEREST I
saw this.
Cory my be a man of 30 but he
loves his Star Wars, and Britney
as agreed to a room of Star Wars.
Guess what I need to get busy doing.
Talking about painting I have a party
that will be coming up in August. If
Julie continues to have folks that
wish to come then it might
have to be 2 parties.
She wanted to do a cross. Keeping in
mind that most folks have
never painted I had to pick
something easy.
Here are the four I went with.
I am thinking of just letting the folks
pick which one they wish to do that
night. Some can do one while others
do another. I am going to cut out a
template for the cross to make life
easier for the them.
I am a member of a couple of
crafting sites on FB. On one a woman
asked for some suggestions on what to do
with 4x4 tiles pieces, besides making coasters.
I found these ideas on PINTEREST
also.
I really like this one.
Mod Podge some scrap book
paper on them, like doing coasters
but then hang them.
But then I saw this....
oh my gosh, I love this!
Reading up on how to drill a hole
in title I learned I need a masonry drill
bit. Not a problem, Lowes is just down the
street. I would drill the hole first.
Cover with scrapbook paper then poke
through the paper to make the hold and apply
the hands. You can pay more for the same thing
at Hobby Lobby but I find the clock
motor and hands at Wally World for $4.97.
A plate stand and you are set to go
when the time is right...
(haha, get that pun?)
Here are a couple more ideas for 4x4
tile pieces.
Coasters. I have made these with pics
I have taken. For Theresa who is a
photographer, I borrowed pics from her
FB page and made here some.
You just have to coat them several times
with Mod Podge.
Cute idea for out in the yard.
If interested in doing this keep in mind
that if you have a
Habitat for Humanity
you can get these tiles for nothing
pretty much. I gave 10 cents each for
the last ones I got.
HAHA....speaking of which I have some
in a box in the back end of my car
that my sis in law gave me.
What to do....oh what to do with
them!!?????
Yesterday the humidity was really low here
in Nashville and with that I was able
to get somethings done. Usually on
days I have to do errands and stuff I
wait till after 5. If I have to go to the bank
or something I have to go earlier but most
times for other stuff I wait till it is not
so hot. Yesterday however was GREAT!
I left the house went and dropped some
plastic bags off at Krogers bag recycling bin.
To CVS to pick up some Nail and Hair vit.
stuff. To the bank,
To recycle, my bin was running over.
To Hobby Lobby since I have a request for
a tic tac toe log board for my
friend Debbie. To Lowes, I was looking for
something to make a table top with for
out in the yard but while I was there it
hit me that I had a really good, perfect size
cabinet door! YAY....From there I headed to
the Food Bank to drop off some can goods
I took out of the pantry, beans that I know longer
can handle since my surgery. From there to the
local police station to turn myself in....
oops, no that is not right, to drop of
unused meds of mine and moms.
To Dollar General, Wally World and then
HOME!
Shortly after that T and I met for
dinner. Before heading to Fla. we found
a cool little pizza place (hole in the wall)
that I never paid attention to before.
HAHA...and it has been there about 7 yrs.
Oh my gosh....best Calzones!
Then I came home and did NOTHING!
I have learned that it is not so much
the heat as it is the humidity that wipes
me out with the Fibro. I was able to go
yesterday but days before I was having to
go in off the deck early in the morn and still
have no energy. It don't matter either if you
are in air condition or not, the body knows
when it is hot outside.
Course this is how I feel when I look
at the inside of my house...
I become so overwhelmed that I just
NAP!
Do you have days like that?
How about recycling, do you recycle.
What and how?

Have a fabulous day. ♥
I do agree with you. it's the humidity that is so tiring … not only for you and others with Fibro but for all of us.
Enjoy the remainder of Thursday
All the best Jan
That was quite the busy day.
Thanks so much for the lovely visit to my blog and reading about my bathroom redo process.
Hope you have a nice day.
Julie
i sure do know about missing sons, i miss both of mine!!
you are very clever and creative, i always enjoy reading about what you are up to!!!
we recycle, the norms, paper, bottles, plastic, cardboard but i am not good at repurposing things like you are!!!
Love that last saying - perfect. My husband had just repaired his 'handmade' clock. The thing finally gave up working after many years and lots of travelling with us. It is a puzzle stuck on a board, the new clock was a bit more expensive than yours as we had to order from Amazon. When I remember I will take a photo of it for you. Have a good weekend Diane
