Gosh y'all, it has been several weeks since my last post. I apologize! This summer has been rather busy and I intend to keep it that way! One way to pass the time while we were on vacation from vacationing was to get the to-do list - DONE. It was my mission to complete part of this list last week.
I had a table base and a hardi plank backing and ready to make a mosaic top. I have had these items for at least 5 years and this was it, it being the time to shit or get off the pot. You know what I mean, right? The kids and I went to the Depot for some tile, thin set and grout. Side note - I saw a cute little 3 year old boy there with butterfly wings (my son). I broke the tile with a hammer (tiles were inside a pillow case) and started a creation. I knew that I was not born an artist but I also knew that I could handle making an "S" and filling it in with dark tiles. What a great project this was! It did take a lot of time (all of an afternoon) to get the supplies, break tiles and adhere them to the board. I let it sit overnight and then filled in the gaps with grout on the next day. Voila! A very cheap and personalized table for the deck. What a sense of accomplishment. I managed to complete a project while the kids were home!!! The fun did not stop there :)
The rest of the week was productive also: Cars 2, made 2 white dresses (for beach pics I will be taking), window treatment for back door (the U.G.L.Y. wood blinds had to go!) Play dates, sleepovers, temper tantrums, burned brownies, clean cabinets, cleaned playroom, new tires, car wash and oil change. Wow, it was more tiring to type it all than to do the work!
Keeping you posted. Love, Domestic Diva (this week, at least)
