Get me a saw I got myself a Work Bench!

YIPEEEEEE!

When I walked into my house the other day, what might you ask was waiting for me in my living room.... 
My folding work bench. I have to say I did a little dance when I saw it.

I purchased the Keter 17182239 Folding Work Table

 

My wonderful husband did the research for me and found this to be rated good and a great price on Amazon. It comes with 2 removable 12" clamps. The best part it folds away for easy storage. We live in a condo and do have 1 garage, but storage is at a premium and we can't fit an full fledged work area in the garage so this folding work bench is just the ticket.

 

Now I just have to decide on my first project and then have the courage to get to it.

I really would love an orchard ladder in my downstairs bathroom to hold towels... hmmm could this be my first project. We shall see. I will keep you posted.

Until then Happy Happy Happy

Bottom's Up Bunny

Easy to make.
One Styrofoam ball, same size as pot top, needs to fit in half way or so.
Stretch out some cotton balls & fluff em up & glue to half the ball.
One cotton ball for the tail & glue on butt.
Stretched a cotton ball & shaped them into feet, (to make em look more real I then added circles cut from fun foam for paw pads.
Stick some flowers & leaves around him & he is done! Really fast & easy!

Bunny Centerpiece

For these little cuties I followed the instructions from Urban Hoot:

Old Vase..Reloaded

I have some old glass vases that are hanging around. They are plain and really have no personality.

I decided to add a little pizazz to one.

Grabbing my glue gun, some cord, red ribbon and my old uninspired vase. I got to work.

 I started at the bottom and wrapped the cord around the vase, hot gluing every so often.

Here is the vase completed covered.

Then I added some ribbon for a finishing touch.

Adding new life to an old vase, easy as 1.. 2.. 3

Have a fun day!
