Lookie what my Dad made for me! Another whale for my beachy porch!
Yesterday was his 76th birthday and I swear this man has not lost his craft mojo.
I can't wait to hang him up!

Happy Monday everyone! The hubby should be home in a day or two and we're very excited. I haven't been able to do much crafting but I did make these sweet buggy lavender sachets last night.
I sell sachets in my Etsy shop in sets of three. I had these two leftover and not one to let things go to waste, I turned them into dryer sachets for our house.
I hand-stamped a dragonfly on one and bumble bees on the other. I'm not a huge fan of bugs in my outdoor life, but I do love them for home decor.
I can't wait to use these on our linens. I love the smell of lavender and it does promote a restful sleep - something I could use more of!

I'm not one for dishing too much personal business on my blog. I prefer to keep things light and airy, and crafty! But the hubby is going in for surgery tomorrow, so I'll be taking a few days off to man the fort. If you have a chance, cross your fingers that all turns out well for Mr. Okio B!

We've had these lanterns on our porch steps for years. I originally bought them at Home Goods. They were looking pretty beat up after being in the elements year after year.
I love the shape of them though so I didn't want to toss them. So I picked off some of the rust and gave them a quick makeover.
Keeping with my beachy/nautical theme for the porch, I gave them a couple of coats of white spray paint. Then I used some red acrylic paint for the stripe.
Finish up with a coat of clear spray paint, and they are good to go! Quick, easy and total cost: $0.

Last Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We treated ourselves to a night out for Chinese and a little saki. The bottles were so cute that I tossed them in my handbag once they were finished.
I decided to use some rub-on transfers for them and thought these number signs would be cute.
I also added some tea-stained seam binding to the tops of each bottle. I rolled up some French poetry book paper for one. The other will likely be used as a little vase.
They are happily residing on our kitchen windowsill.
