Crafty Attempts

So, lately, I've been embracing the role of "homemaker" meaning that I have been "making stuff at home"! haha. And I have to tell you though beforehand, that I have NEVER been an crafty person...not artistic at all (except musically artistic) & I can't draw a lick so I never thought I'd like crafts because I never thought I'd be any good at them. Well, I've really been getting into them lately. Making something I'd put in my house out of nothing has become really fun for me. Here are a few things that I've done:
For Halloween:
My Terra-cotta Pot Mummies (not yet completely finished)

My Fall practically free table centerpiece:
(it doesn't show up well here, but I painted them with spray on silver glitter specs)
I have to find a cuter bowl, but this will do for now.



My other Pine cone door stopper:

My Awesome Garage Sale Find:
(the problem was they were all ugly booger green, so I had to do lots of work)


And this is the finished product. It's hard to see with the light from the window, but I painted them all Chocolate Brown.

It has been SOOO much fun!! :)
