Bathroom sink skirt.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My very own knock off. I saw these spice jars from Anthropology and LOVED them. </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">First I spray painted a few old gravy jars (first get all of the glue and crap off (also have a tutorial for that)) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then I painted the lids with just acrylic paint because that is what I had. Then I printed out some old vintage labels from Pinterest and modge podged them on as well as coating the whole lid.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then I held a template taut over the jar and stenciled in with chalk board paint. Of course since it isn't flat it isn't going to be perfect....but who cares right? I spent about 3 dollars for the spray paint and the rest I already had. The jars from Anthropology are 10 a piece. So pretty good deal huh? I am going to make some mini ones too. Also these would work with regular old labels too instead of chalkboard paint. Just glue those suckers on.</span> </li>

Even though my mom doesn't like it as much as the green but I don't care. I like it. I took these pictures with my point and shoot. That's why are are horrible.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am such a bad blogger nowadays. I hate that. I wish I had more time sometimes; but then again....when I had all the time in the world all I wanted was babies!! I do love my little ones, but man am I busy. Here's a reversible quilt I made for my neice. I didn't use a pattern; just the one in my head. I was very pleased with the way it came out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">[</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Take a taller type container than your jar and place your jar inside container. Fill jar inside of container halfway with water then fill container to cover label and glud with hot water. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Add oil....any kind. Just pour it in...however much. I use olive oil.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Let that soak overnight or a few hours.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">scrub with a brillo pad. All that goo should come right off. Then wash jar in some really good degreaser like vinegar or in the dishwasher.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I think I like this a lot better!! I took a tall shot glass and wrapped it in white yarn. It kind of looks like a bouquet. Pretty. I'm taking V to the doctor this afternoon. He just isn't acting himself lately. I don't know what his going on with him. Ear infection maybe?</span>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17193871208271881735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847233034636454736.post-6855536015228569122012-02-01T06:11:00.000-08:002012-02-01T06:28:18.426-08:00Little smidge of this and that<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">First of all, thank you for following my new blog. I started a new one for personal reasons, i.e. privacy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Really quick because right now Riley is sleeping and Viktor is talking in his crib. He only gets his pacifiers when he is in his crib, so now he points to the stairs and acts sleepy so that I will bring him upstairs and put him in his crib. He spends about twenty minutes sucking on his pacifiers and then decides he has had enough and then cries to get out. I like to call it "Getting his fix" lol..........</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I wanted to show you a craft I made from pinterest. Well I made a few and will be posting pictures, pros and cons, and my unprofessional opinion. This tutorial was found </span><a href="http://www.homemadeginger.com/2011/03/anthropologie-inspired-blooms.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">here.....</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> I loved this tutorial. I am in love with these awesome, cool looking flowers. And I love them in this vase. I did exactly what she said to. This vase is antique and has meaning to me. My deceased grandfather bought it for my grandmother when they were younger. I definitely recommend this tutorial if you like the flowers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Now that I wrote all that without <strike>any kids screaming in my earhole or slamming my laptop down </strike>any sweet interruptions...I think I might get away with an actual post. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Viktor and Riley are doing good. Viktor will be 21 months and Riley will be 4 months. Can you believe it? And I will be 35 <strike>months </strike>years old in March *gulp*. I think Viktor has lost weight. He is no longer on formula or the bottle, which the only reason he was on it was because this kid refuses to drink milk or anything besides water. So, I think he dropped a half pound to a pound. His doctor is not going to be happy about that. Riley has gained all that and then some. He is huge. That kid is wearing 6 to 9 months already. He is going to surpass Viktor's weight in no time. Last time I checked he was 15+ pounds. Viktor is only 21 pounds.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Riley went to the cardiologist a few weeks ago. He was born with a PDA and an ASD which is common in Down syndrome. His PDA closed and his ASD is still at a 3. But, the doctor is hopeful that it will close on its own without surgery.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">I have lost over 40 pounds since Riley was born. WOOT. Since dieting I have dropped 21 pounds. I want to drop 15 more and then I will be skinny minny again. That thought gets me through days like these when I am starving.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Oh, my husband got a vasectomy. More more babies for us. We are happy with our 3 boys.</span>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17193871208271881735noreply@blogger.com5
