Pink Saturday Birdhouse Project, Tinker in the Sunroom

Okay...none of you super crafty folks laugh...because I am sharing a craft project I did for Pink Saturday with How Sweet The Sound. I had an African Violet that needed something to perk it up on our sunroom. As I was in JoAnns Crafts for some odds and ends I saw an unfinished wooden biedhouse church with an attached tray that would just fit the African violet. So I painted it with shingles on the roof and hollyhocks. It makes me laugh every time I see it.  Shingles don't go sideways, did you know??????


Anyway, here it is and don't laugh too hard!!!







Here is a window in the sunroom which used to only have the Victorian stained glass with other things on other window sills which are much lower and go all around 3 sides of the room...until we got our kitten almost 2 years ago. We had to move everything thing to the one high window sill at the end. Got tired of spending a lot of time picking things up off the floor where he on purpose or by accident launched them. Sigh...Oh well...we love him! And the sunroom is his favorite place!








Hope your weekend looks like this....

  4. I'm not laughing at your birdhouse planter - very cute. I just passed up one at a yard sale this morning - very like it - because I simply don't have any place to put it! Hoping to be stretched out like your lovely kitty later today - resting up for the Civil War Ball we're going to tonight. You bet - photos and post following this week!
    Joy!
