Hello!
I'm still pushing through with my spring cleaning. I love a clean house, don't you? Getting rid of stale energy and forgotten corners. After I finish cleaning and repairing a room, it always feels lighter and more spacious.
This week I've been working on the hallway. Because of the fact that I am a maximalist it takes a bit more time to fill random picture hanger holes or even just to remove the pictures to wash the walls. Everything comes down then I wash walls and scrub trim. I've repainted picture
frames and walls, and this time, it's my mini altar's turn.
I bought it a while back at the thrift store, I'm sure it was under $7. I didn't know where it was going to end up in our home, but I knew it'd be cute after it met a paint brush.
First a bit of sanding and a good wash, then I gave it a few coats of blue.
Then a heavy coat of chalkpaint and some serious distressing.
I love this look, but it did nothing for the hallway, kind of blah. So back to the crafting table we went.
Now, the fun part, setting up my altar. It doesn't stay like this, I change this one quite often. It holds some dear memories for my husband and I, well mostly me. I collect rocks, feathers, sticks, pretty much everything a toddler would pick up! LOL, pretty sure I'm far worse than all of our girls combined ever were.
A lapis lazuli necklace for awakening true destiny and divine purpose. A few words of wisdom on some favorite ornaments, and fresh intentions, or just a healing altar. This time I've set my altar up for JOY. I'm hoping globally we all find a bit more joy everyday. Remembering or honouring what brings us joy.
This colour brings me joy, all the little treasures collected on our hikes bring me joy.
A clean house brings me joy!
Family and friends bring me so much joy!
I did grab some more skeins from Micheal's today and I'm sure I'll need a lot more but I'll be able to use up a lot of the little ends of yarn. I can't wait to open that new caron skein!!

Oh! That's it! A nice bright pop of colour, and a bit of distressing with some sand paper.

And this guy, more joy.
My fur baby. I love how he spread out over my new project..an afghan. I think he's sleeping on about four squares! haha! I saw an afghan on Priscillas spring home tour and I really wanted to try make it. So, I'm using up scrap fabric, with my own weird, probably wrong pattern, and I am attempting it.
Until next time, happy nesting!
