A friend of mine has posted on Facebook about her 30 days/30 projects goal. I am not quite that ambitious, myself, but on Sunday, I found myself at home for several hours, and the kids were leaving me alone. I decided that if not 30 days/30 projects, I could at least do 1 day/3 projects! My first project was filing all the paperwork that I've been shoving in a cubby since April. One big thing checked off the list (but not exactly picture worthy).
The second project was to beautify the powder room a bit. It looked like this before:
On Sunday, I found an adorable bird at a craft fair (to which I owe thanks again to my 30 days/30 projects friend - she's the one who told me about it), which I hung on the blank wall over the toilet paper. I then sent Helene and Sydney out to gather twigs, which I used to "frame" the mirror. Years ago, I had mentioned to a friend that I thought I should frame this mirror. She said, "You could just paint twigs around it instead." When I told Helene that plan, she misunderstood and thought I meant hang painted twigs around it. I liked her idea of actual twigs:
Here's a close-up of the bird from the craft fair (it came on this stick - so cute!):
Project #3: There's this pile of junk on the bar close to the door leading to the garden. It's mostly tools and seeds and sunscreen that have been left lying around, and I've thrown them in this box and pot, meaning to deal with them later. Well, since I've never "dealt" with them, I decided I should at least make their containers cuter and less in the way.
