my DIY

Back in February for my birthday my mother gave me this large vase which I had been obsessing about.  I changed the location of it around my house a few times. Finally I found the perfect spot but the vase was empty. Then I found fake green leaves in my house (I have no clue where they came from). A light bulb went off in my head. I got the lime green spray paint that happens to match most of my kitchen and living room decor and went to town with this easy project.

all the way to japan

My sister went to Japan for work related reasons. Because this was her second trip to Japan she knew what is customary there. She wanted to make sure that she took gifts for when she did a home visit; in Japan it is considered impolite to go to someone's house without a gift. My sister thought it would be nice to take some of my handmade pieces. Above is a photo of my canvas bag and the happy host recipient.
