...I saw it on Pintrest....

I can't stay still.  Here are some of the things I made while on my maternity leave...
 Custom artwork for Camilla's Room..... Using a coupon from Hancock Fabrics I got the quilting loop for 7.99, had the leftover fabric, and then hit Hobby Lobby last week when their wood letters were 30% off.  I had the pink paint leftover from a previous project.  As she ages out of her nursery fabrics of green and yellow farm animals, I hope to redecorate her green bedroom with bold black and white patterns with accents of hot pint...hopefully a design that is cool enough for a sporty toddler. She can pass on the green and yellow animals to her little brothers room.
 I already had the grapevine wreath.  So, when I went to Hobby Lobby for the letters, I picked up an extra 'S' for 30% off.  I spray painted it with some leftover enamel paint I found in the garage and then hot glued it to the wreath. I have seen a ton of different wreath ideas on Pintrest.  So, my thinking is to start with this, then add seasonal decorations to the right side....Hydrangeas and Burlap roses are two ideas that I have pinned already that would work with this.
My new trash can wall.  I found the pallet in my neighborhood on the side of the road (I won't mention which house), used leftover exterior house paint, Steve stood it up with leftover rebar and brick, and then I bought the planter at Aldi.  So, total project cost = 6.99 planter at Aldi!
I love how it makes the trashcan and recycle bin an attractive focal point of the front yard rather than seeing the two cans flank the garage door.
