Make Do & Mend Monday - Crocheted Coasters
I started crocheting Sunday on these cute little coasters. They take no time at all and perfect for TV watching. I am making them for gifts. Each Peaches & Creme ball will make 6 coasters.
They are addictive....
The boys like this one the best since it has so many colors in it and will match anything.
Glad you could stop by. I am linking to Heidi's Make Do & Mend Monday.

Make Do & Mend Monday - Spray Painted Candlesticks
Welcome to another fun project! I have seen these painted candlesticks all over the web and thought they were so pretty. So, I rounded up all of those old, brass candlesticks and my spray paint for a fun project. While I was at it, I also spray painted a lazy susan that need a face lift.
Let's start at the beginning. Here's a before picture of what I spray painted.
I took it all outside and spray painted my heart out. It was only 102!! Needless to say, I was hot!
The good thing was, since it was so hot, it did not take long for everything to dry!
Hmm, I am not sure that I like the "family" painted yellow. I might need to change that to another color. Maybe red? First I need to decide where I am going to place it inside. See the pool? Deniska and I got in and played while these were drying! Smart - huh?
Here they are on my table. I just need to add candles, or maybe not. I kinda like them just as they are. See my chair covers? I did those on Saturday. You can read about them here.
