Móvil de bolas de lana. Un toque especial para mi estación de trabajo!


Sometimes we feel like there is something missing, monotony often makes us need change. That was happening to me, my workstation needed some life and love because I don't have much decoration in it.

A veces uno siente que en su entorno falta algo, la monotonía a veces hace que queramos cambios. Eso me pasaba a mi, me hacía falta algún toque a mi estación de trabajo, pues no tengo mayor decoración en ella y ya me esta haciendo falta. 



In many blogs (I couldn't say anymore which ones) I saw beautiful decorations of balls made with wool. It looked so NICE! But by that time I didn't thought about making them so I didn't bookmarked or anything. Then looking for ideas to decorate my workstation, I remembered those wool balls.

En varios blogs, ya no sabría decir en donde pues ha pasado tiempo, vi decoraciones hermosas con bolas hechas con lana. Me parecieron SÚPER! Pero en el momento no les di importancia más allá de lo original que era. Luego buscando una idea para decorar mi estación de trabajo, me acordé de esas bolas de lana.



This is my version of the wool balls mobile =D:

No more holy pants!


jeans with holes cut to make shorts
My daughter has worn out her jeans.  The holes in one pair are so large she can put her legs through them!   The weather will soon be warm and she will be trading her jeans for shorts.  So now do I have to buy new shorts?  I don't think so.  I have a great idea to transform her jeans.  It wouldn't be fair to keep all my great ideas for myself!   Keep reading and I'll show you how I gave these jeans a new life.

Birdcage Floral Arrangements

So far, I've painted my daughter's walls, painted a chalkboard on her door, made over her chair, built a crown moulding shelf, a hanging butterfly ball, painted a chalkboard on her door and recovered her chair.  Now, I have decorated a few birdhouses for her plant ledge and I'm not done yet.  Be sure to follow Callie's Crafts so you don't miss the reveal.

Hanging Butterfly Ball

I am re-decorating my daughter's room.  So far I have painted her walls lavender and built a crown moulding shelf.   The next idea I want to share is the butterfly ball I made to hang from her vaulted ceiling.  It is the perfect spring craft.  You could also use this technique to make a topiary or a wreath.

DIY Crown Moulding Shelf

For the 8 months we have lived in this house I have been at a loss at what to do with my daughter's room.  She is the oldest and has her own space, for now.  Her room has high vaulted ceilings, a plant ledge, and a large window.  Although these features are beautiful, I have to admit, they are intimidating.  What her room is lacking is functionality.  She needs more floor space, more shelf space and some pretty things to look at.  I finally have a plan for my daughter's room.  The first step is adding decorative storage with a wall length crown moulding ledge shelf.  I was able to build this 11' shelf for about $20.00!
