all
lame excuses aside, it has been awhile!
But
I won't let that ruin my excitement for this post! One of my hobbies
is decorating, and I recently acquired enough time with the
absence of school to start working on all the projects I thought
about while sitting in class. I had seen alot of cute projects
with old windows, finally found two, and did this project that I am
very proud of for Mr.Flores and I's bedroom!
The
verses on the windows match the verse that are in Hebrew on our
wedding rings. I also did the puzzle pieces hanging from the ceiling,
by taking a alphabet puzzle piece decoration I found at the craft
store, mod podging scrapbook paper onto it and then writing the
letters on.
I
am all about adding significant touches to one's house, and so the
puzzle pieces for us represent our song, which is "such great
heights" by Postal Service.
The
windows also are super easy. I found the windows, and since they are
not too beat up I liked a little antique look, then since I don't
have a vinyl machine (yet!) I traced font off the computer, colored
it in with sharpie ( or you could just print it, but we don't have a
printer) and then taped it to the front of the window, and painted
the letters onto the backside. it worked great!
I
also must mention that the wonderful Mr. Flores helped me to hang
them and pick out the right hardware to do so. I'm not sure he trusts
me with our walls and his drill yet.
ahhh summer crafting, all while the little one is taking a nap....
