Oh how I love craft days.

today was another craft day at the Powell house.

:-)

my lovely bestest friend, Bequi, came over and we had delicious home made pizza, along with her adorable baby Sarah.

then she watched me cover golf wiffle balls in fabric. :-)

This is my new table center piece.

The fabric will change based in the season or holiday coming up.

so I have started with Fall. :-)


Jason was kind enough(after 5 minutes of me begging him) to take a picture with my center piece. :-)

I heart him.


my dining room is the room I am currently working on revamping.

do you recognize the square holder?

hmm

from here possibly?

I originally bought the bamboo holder thing for my wheat grass plant. which, was SOO difficult to keep alive and looking pretty. so I am re-using it as my center piece with balls. :-) If at first you dont succeed , try try again!

next I am painting my table.

Wish me lots a luck!!

let me give you a piece of advice for crafts.

Never buy supplies for what they were intended for.

I needed balls. My first instinct was to go to hobby lobby or Michaels and buy Styraphome balls to cover in fabric. well, for about 12 balls it was going to be 4-5$. which, you think is reasonable right?

So I was at wal-mart when it dawned on me to try to find a substitute, because after all I was going to cover them in fabric anyway. It was between ping pong balls, or golf practice balls. I opted for the golf balls and got 15 for 1.83$ SCORE!

so, try to always think outside the box with crafts, and avoid buying supplies from crafts store because unless its an awesome clearance sale, it was always be more expensive.

Next I am also making Bequi and cute trash container for her car.

provide me supplies and I will make you something too!
