Closer look at my dad's hobby... pretty pretty!!

More pictures...

Here's Davy standing next to his half finished concrete project. My Dad bought a build it yourself shed and he's making the foundation for it. Lucky my dad needed this done right about when David got laid off for a few weeks. Now he's working part time at Thornton Construction and Thursdays and Fridays he's working on this.

Here's David's brother Daniel standing in our basement after they knocked out the wall. (see how Dan can hardly stand up straight!) We have big plans for this space...just not enough money. I guess it doesn't help in our savings that we're flying to Ohio to see Dan and his wife Summer next week, but we think it'll be well worth the trip. (We are so excited!!) Plus we figure we gotta do this stuff while we can.

This is an XBOX cover I painted for Lane with nail polish.
I drew this image he picked out^
free hand, traced with a sharpy, then did my best to copy the colors with layering of nail polishes.
My talented little brother cole painted the face plate. He's been doing that for his friends for a while, making a little profit here and there.

I got this idea from makeitandloveit.blogspot.com.
She had covered a wooden bead bracelet with some cute scrap fabric.
I didn't cover a bracelet, I stuffed it with some potpourri. It smells great and lasts longer than perfume.
I used a string of beads to help measure where to tie off the bunches, then added a bow to hide the ends.

Been Feeling a little crafty Lately...I got this idea from kari-youcanmakeit.blogspot.com. She posts lots of fun things from other peoples' blogs...like a creativity collector. These were real fun and SO easy.
