I did it!

Before... sad and ugly.


















Also before... I forgot that I painted the star on the back of the original tile.  This is the ugly that was on the front.
After!  I painted the holder thingy, and painted over that weird decoration on the front of the mailbox.  The tile thingys got a few coats of white spray paint and then acrylic for the numbers and our name. RJ reminded me that he has black spray paint, so I think the mailbox will be getting a fresh coat soon.











Since this is my our crafty blog, I'm gonna share the tattoo love!  I got this the other night, as a birthday present.  It's a vintage embroidery design.  The needle was added by my tattoo artist.  (Tattooist?  Tattooer?  Inker?  Inkist?)  I love, love, love it! 














 

Fall Discontent

It's that time of year... I'm itching to do some crafts.  I'm feeling a good fall cleaning comming on.  I'm ready to purge my household.

I started re-organizing and purging our horrendous back room last week.  I should have taken pictures!  I'll get some soon.  I've already started organizing my craft supplies.  I even labeled things!!  It feels so good already!

Today's craft, re-painting our house numbers.  They've been the same ever since we moved in.  They're weird 80's country things.  When we bought the house, I slid out the tile with the house on it, and painted a star, but it's time for the whole thing to be changed!  Pics to come.
