Watching paint dry...

I spent today working on a vintage circus project. I had planned to paint a plastic elephant PINK but Ironman (AKA- my 3 year old son) was not happy with my choice in color. Actually, he through a fit! So in order to put an end to the tears and get back to work, I gave in. Honestly, I was on the fence about the color and I am happy I went with the "suggested" blue. Anyone else out there with a 3yr old creative director?

Anyway, the elephant remains unfinished because the paint took way too long to dry. So I literally sat there watching paint dry.

Fun.

Really.

Then I decided to start something else.

I got this little chair last weekend and figured now is a good time as any, right? Right.

So I made this.

an Alice inspired cupcake tower.




Here is a close up of a few little details but its not totally done yet. Just wanted to share a sneak preview. More to come, very soon:)

....and how was your weekend?

Kitschy Kitschy Coo

Darling little PINK circus elephant found via Kitschy Kitschy Coo (love that name). Unfortunately, it is no longer for sale, but definitely good for inspiration.



I am trying to put together a whimsy centerpiece that includes an elephant but haven't had much luck finding anything I can really use...ugh! I am about to break out the spray paint and try to work some magic on an old friend. Maybe manana!



Hope everyone is having a good weekend....any fun projects you are working on? Do share.
