Knocking off the Pinterest Project To-Do List!

I have discovered if something doesn't have a home, than it needs to find one or go to the Goodwill. Due to my repurposing mindset lately I am having a hard time letting anything go. I can always find something to do with it, right? HA. I'm also finding Goodwill is a place to return EVEN if you did give something away to them chances are you can find it again at the Goodwill! (Garage sale season is right around the corner too!)

I wanted to create two lamps for J-Birds room and I wanted to figure out something for the master bath to hang my towels on. As of today I am merely hanging the towel over the shower door. SO not cool.

So, in working on my to-do list I have finished some things up and want to share!

Goodwill Lamp ($2.00) and a Darth Vader/Anakin doll of Josh's inspired this:
 I was impressed and so was J-Bird! He lit up like a Christmas tree in April. It was cool to see his reaction. As I was drawing on the face he told me I need Dad's help. I had to cave in to the request as Prince Charming has a talent for drawing and I do not. Luckily, Prince Charming was home and was able to sketch Darth for me. I painted it on and it was a great team effort!


The other project was towel racks. I bought some wood things at the Good will for a total of $4.00. I had a Hobby Lobby shelf that was going in the trash, so I stole the hooks and the hangers off of it. With a little help from some vinyl used on my Silhouette Cameo, I made these little gems for my master bath. I hung the "hers" lower by accident, but it works as I am a foot shorter than Prince Charming.

My last item on the Pinterest list was a Terra Cotta Pot light house and fountain. The fountain is coming along and the Lighthouse was not accurate enough for Prince Charming, so I had to repaint the top and will have pictures by Saturday. I should also have my Terra Cotta Pot Fountain complete as I am waiting for Amazon to ship me my fountain pump. Amazon is SO much cheaper than the rest of the world! I hate to always support the "BIG BOX" company, but when it comes straight to your door and is 1/4 of the cost, why wouldn't I?

So, that is me today. How are you?
