After my window "mistreatments" turned out so well on Friday, it has motivated me to finish a couple of other itty-bitty projects around here.
I am one of those people who always seems to end up with "extra" of everything. Extra ribbon, extra fabric, extra trim, about 20 extra tubes of liquid nails (don't ask)....
I have sacks and sacks of end pieces cluttering up my dining room table.
-----------------------------------------
Unfortunately, my dining room has become a catch-all for all of my craft stuff. Hubby has been working on refinishing some furniture to go in the dining room specifically to be used to store my craft items, extra dishes and kitchen ware. He's only been working on it for the past two years. Maybe it will actually be finished before we move into the Nursing home.....
-----------------------------------------
Well, my curtain project was no exception. I was left with about an extra yard of the eyelash fringe and about a 1/2 yard of the tassel fringe.
I was about to add this leftover to the rest of the pile, when I got an idea.
I'll dress up my el-cheapo bedroom lamps.
My lamp
Hubby's lamp.
Yes, they are exactly the same...except Marty's looks more "masculine"...lol!
It literally took longer to reheat the glue gun than it did to actually glue the trim on.
I think they turned out really cute, but now I wish I had enough trim to put it on the top too.

I see a trip back to Hobby Lobby in my future!

My next project was just something really quick and easy.
Here is where I show my "slacker" side again....
Up until about an hour ago, I still had my CHRISTMAS wreath hanging on my front door.
Yes, I know Christmas was over a MONTH ago, I just hated to take it down until I could put something else up.
I mean, you wouldn't want my front door to be NEEKED would you?
So, I pulled out my "Spring" wreath that I made a couple of years ago...
And then brought out some 30% off, Hobby Lobby Valentine's Day trinkets...
Added them to my "Spring" wreath....
And now I have a VALENTINE'S DAY wreath!
I know it's not the "typical" red and white Valentine's Day wreath, but I've never been one for the "typical" (as if y'all didn't already know that), so I am LOVING this pink and green interpretation!
Once February 15th rolls around, I just pull out my heart accessories, and I'm back to my "Spring" wreath again.
Since I have been on such a roll over the past couple of days, hopefully I will be able to do some organizing in my dining room tomorrow.
Now if I can just get hubby to work on his little projects.....
-------------------------------------------------
Since we are talking about projects here, one of my very bestest bloggie buddies ever, Sue, from Our Really Empty Nest, is having a "Better Late Than Never" one year Bloggie Anniversary giveaway!
Sue is giving away a "Valentine's Day-themed" package, complete with an adorable apron that she made with her own two little hands.
Isn't that the cutest apron EVER?
Uhhhh, I mean, it's horrible, ugly, disgusting....I KNOW none of you out there really want this apron, do you?
I am being SO UNSELFISH right now, just offering to win this awful thing so the rest of you will be spared.
So DON'T go over to her blog and leave a comment so you can win it, and whatever you do, DON'T blog about it so you can have an extra shot at winning this apron.
I really, really, really want this apron, can't you tell?
HAPPY ONE YEAR BLOGGIVERSARY SUE!!

I hope y'all all have a most wonderful, fantastic, and productive week!
