First Outing In 2013

Not that is was really an outing, but a small trip to the ocean. I wanted to do something fun the first day of the New Year! My favorite place is the ocean. We didn't stay long only because it was just to darn cold. The wind was blowing like no tomorrow. I think we were out there about 10 to 15 minutes and my fingers were frozen.

The sun was shinning and the skies were blue. I was in my happy place.

It wasn't to cold for the seagulls.

Projects I'm Going To Do!!

Here are some projects that I'm going to be doing soon!! I found this on www.pinterest.com . I have found soooooooo many things I'm going to try on this rocking site. I just wish I had more time to try them all. Here are only a few of the ones that I found that I'm going to do. Here is an owl that is just too cute not to try.

It is made from things that you trough away. Here is the blog it came from. http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2010/08/focus-on-art.html if you click on the site you will see other ways to make owls of all kinds. So cool and easy. I wish my mind could come up with such great ideas.

 This is a Tree of Buttons. Here is the blog it came from http://craftsbyamanda.com/2012/05/vibrant-button-tree-on-canvas-a-giveaway.html  I already have the buttons, paint, and glue. I just went out this pasted weekend and bought the canvas. I'm hoping to start this one really soon.

 I love this idea!!!! Here is the blog it came from http://houseofwentworth.com/tag/diy-vacation-rituals/ We go to the ocean a lot in a year. I love love love the ocean. No you have no idea I really LOVE the ocean. I wish I could live there. So this idea was a must for me. The last two times we went we happened to save sand in a cup. I don't know why we did it but sooooo glad we did.  Now I know what I'm going to do with them. Like I said I have a start with the sand. This pasted weekend I bought a vase to start!!!!!

 I am sooo doing this one soon! I already have the bottom bucket almost like the one in the picture on the bottom. Only when I do this, I'm going to put a watering can at the top! Here is the blog it came from http://thepinkhammerblog.com/2012/06/01/tipsypotplanter/ I have seen these done with plant pots, but never with old buckets! Just love the way it looks.

 I'm plan on doing this on the way down to my basement on the bottom of the wall and in my workshop/craft room on one wall. I have already started saving pallets. Here is the blog it came from http://justagirlblog.com/diy-pallet-wall-part-2/

 I have the buttons just need to find the right handbag to add them too. Here is the blog http://lonelycactusflower.tumblr.com/page/21 . I just really love this.

I hope some of the ideas give you a spark of creativity to start a new project yourself.

York Maine Mother's Day Weekend

My husband & son took me to York Maine today. The start of Mother's Day weekend. Yep I get the whole weekend hehehe. They both know I love the ocean.

 The flowers were everywhere. I should have taken more pictures of them.

 The houses and buildings were beautiful too. I wanted to take more pictures of them too but on a lot of the roads we were on there was no safe place to stop and take pictures.

 We had so much fun. Josh running up and down the beach. We found a ton of flat round rocks and shells for me to wire wrap!!!

 Josh was all over the rocks and just having a blast.

 I love this color green. I see a heart in this picture.

This is my favorite picture! I love how the wind is blowing the tops of the waves.

 Here is a bike I feel in love with. I really wish I could get it. I could soooo see myself riding around on this.

 Josh feel in love with this one!

I had such a great time with my boys today. They mean the world to me. They make me who I am. They fill me with so much love.
