Home Ideas on You Are The Star

Welcome to You're The Star Party

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was great. We were busy with yard and garden work. We have had a lot of rain but not too much over the weekend. With all of the rain, needless to say, lots of weeds. 

Even the grass and plants are growing. Hubby has to cut grass twice a week to keep up. What can you do, keep pruning!

Have a great week.

Veggies on Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday friends.  It has been a busy week. The puppies got their last set of shots. That means they can finally go outside. That should be interesting, since they like to put everything in their mouths. I am sure they will find leaves, bugs, sticks and who knows what else. 

I promised some puppy pictures. They are now 4 months old. In the pictures below, Antony is on the left and Cleo is on the right. They love to cuddle together. Cleo likes to put her head on Antony.

Tidbits on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week is going well so far. We have been very hot here in central Florida and lots of rain. After all it is hurricane season. 

today, I decided to clean out my bedroom closet. I am not sure how or why, but I have lost 25 pounds since last August. needless to say, all of my clothes are too big and I bought new things. I decided to get rid of all of the big ones to make room for the new. Funny thing, even some of my shoes were too big. I guess my feet shrank too. 

Have a great rest of your week.

We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.

Louver Slats for A Flag

Louver Slats for A Flag

Did you ever wonder what to do with slats from a louver door? Well, here's a project that you might want to try - a 4th of July flag.

We had an old louver door and wanted to get rid of it. I asked hubby if he could cut off the ends so I could have the slats. so there I was with a box full of them.  Now what?

This was not a difficult project, but I did have to wait while the paint dried.  I did not cut down the slats.  That was they original size. I lightly sanded them and then painted 4 red and 3 white.

The top board was off a pallet board. I sanded this piece too and painted it navy blue. 

Once all the boars were dried, hubby drilled holes for wire to attach to the top board. He marked them all so they would be the same. He also marked the pallet board.

He makes me this twisted wire. It's his own design. He uses thin copper. You can use any wire you have. The slats are light weight. We went through the front of the slat and the pallet board and into the back.

The star and rope(already had) I got from the Dollar Tree. We drilled holes for the rope and I tied a knot on the front.  You could always use a hook if you wanted to. 

For the star, I used tiny screws to attach the star to the pallet board. You could always paint a star on there instead. 

I have it hanging on my door out to the lanai.
