Another Weekend, Another Coffee Filter Flower!

Happy National Sibling's Day

Last week son Sam and his friend Tyler stopped by so I could whip up a resume for Tyler. Was typing away, chatting up a storm when Tyler mentioned that his mom had a washer and dryer she was going to give away for free. Lo and behold, I need a washer and dryer. He called his mom and verified that they both work great so next weekend I'll be getting them. Yippee!!  

Of course it was another weekend of crafting and cleaning.  I wash my dishes and swear I'm going to wash them each time a plate or glass gets dirty. Well that doesn't always happen and I wind up with another load to wash. Not so fun when your dishwasher is your own two hands!  Ran across a schedule on Pinterest, wrote it down, and taped it to an inside kitchen cupboard as a reminder.

On to my weekend crafting! 

Redesigned a cupboard from my curbside pickup stash. Painted gray with topcoat of dry brush white.  Hung it in my bathroom.

Picked up a hefty Atlas from the Goodwill which contained an abundance of maps that I thought would make killer flowers.  Made a few with yellow tipped Qtips as stamen then attached them to Dollar Tree beach hats painted in shades of blue and gray.  Hung them from the painted oar in the living room.

Cut Atlas leaves to cover a small wreath, added a couple of coffee filter roses to complete the look.

Picked up two $1.49 fabric from Goodwill and hung them as curtain swags in my bedrooom.

Dyed coffee filters tan, edged with gold leaf pen, then made the following wreath for the front door.

Took next Friday off and thinking a day trip to the beach may be in order. Been too long since I've been there and I'm jonesin for the sand and surf.
