A Fun Friday

Today has been a great day!

I was able to sleep in...I think the 2 benadryl I took last night helped with that :) Then I ate breakfast and had a cup of coffee with my husband. I love mornings when we get to sit around and relax! 

But then it was time to get on with our day. Clay had to take a test online for school, so I decided to work on some projects and stay out of his way. I started painting the shelf that I bought when I was in Pennsylvania. I am hoping to get it done this weekend and then I'll let you see it :)

I also did a couple of smaller projects that I had been thinking about for a while. I had seen both of them on other people's blogs, but I can't remember where they were.

The first one was a candle for the new shelf in the bathroom. 

My supplies were a mason jar...

twine...

and sand.

I wrapped the twine around the top of the jar and hot glued it in place. 

I then put sand in the bottom and added a candle.

I really like it!

My next project was to wrap twine around a frame. 

I found this frame at a yard sale for $0.25.

I wrapped the twine around the sides first and then I did the corners.

I could not remember how the other person had done the corners, so I just experimented. I think they turned out fine.

I put it on the shelf in the bathroom also. I like how it looks...I just can't decide if I need to hang something in it or on it or leave it alone. What do you think? I would love ideas!

After Clay finished his test and I finished my projects, we went out for dinner. We were going to cook dinner, but by the time we finished everything we were too hungry to wait to cook :) We then walked around downtown Hendersonville and got ice cream. There was a band playing downtown, so we stood there and listened and people watched. 

I love date night!
