So now that my mom is beginning to feel better we have been being a bit more active around here. She is walking so much better and getting more energy as we go. So while she is unable to lift or carry things she decided to just say from her little bench "Hey put this there or here" like a queen from her chair. We re organized her entire front yard and I found this old old box on the side of their house that was my grandfathers so I thought hey lets make a planter with some plate flowers! So off to goodwill we went 2.28 later and 5 Dinner/salad plates and 5 small saucer sized plates we were ready to begin the adventure! My mom had some old medicine bottles she found at the property that were just perfect for the back of the flowers for the random wood we found around. You could use a thick sturdy wood dowel rod as well but we were going for cheap and awesome! For the filler in the box my dad had some extra gravel hanging about as well so we used that to hold the wood poles up.
It took us two tries to get this right...It is so hot here on our first try we used hot glue to stick the flowers together when the sun melted them apart! Our second try we picked up some ceramic super glue and that did the trick!!!
Her three in the yard...
Later I went on a ride with my dad on his Harley and like an idiot burnt my leg on the bottom pipes...Note to self...even in summer wear pants! So today we thought lets pick an easier craft and made some cute hair bands. We have some cloth ones to make still we bought fabric for but we started with a simple button hair band. You just simply take a giant awesome button, some elastic about 1/2 inch thick sized to your head snuggly and a needle with a bit of thread. Thread the button through. Sew the end and walah a new headband! So darn cute too! Here are my two.
