Pinterest Challenge Follow up

As a follow up to the Pinterest Challenge last week I have finished my TP roll art!

Last we saw it looked like this:
I caught a few moments of dry weather this weekend and instantly started spray painting.
As you know from my friday letters I have O for the weekend so he helped me in my project.

 First side done!
 We waited about an hour before flipping that biatch over.
 And spraying it again. I love the expressions on his face, I believe his tongue is sticking out on the other side.

I did another layer for good measure and voila! These are from the iPhone sorry about the quality.


The pictures while spray painting give the rich red color more justice. Its very beautiful if I do say to myself.

Pinterest Challenege

Challenge accepted!

I have  DIY to do board on Pinterest which you can view here. So when I saw the challenge pop up on YHLBower Power, Erin and Cassie and  I knew I needed to participate. Last time they had a challenge I was still waiting for an invite to Pinterest, lame I know. What to do that wouldn't cost any moula?

I have been saving TP rolls and paper towel rolls for awhile. My mom actually had a gardening pinterest idea with them. I gave her what she needed and used the rest for my art.


Delilah helped
Beginning design 
The "pinspiration" called for craft glue, all I had was Elmers. Lets hope it holds! 

There was a little hiccup when Dude's crooked tail knocked my "petals" off the coffee table and I had to re-arrange them only to find some missing. Where were the missing "petals"? Delilah's mouth. Good thing Elmers is non toxic!

Pardon my blurry photos, don't know what got into me. Maybe I was taking this concept a little too seriously?

My next step is sto spray paint that baby red! I am really excited about it. The only thing stopping me is the weather. Where is a gal supposed to spray toxic chemicals when its POURING rain and or snow outside? I will have to update this later.

Pinterest food completions

I am one of the many Pinterest obsessed individuals out there. Not to mention I drool over the food pictures on there. Lately I have taken on two mouthwatering recipes.

Sticky buns. Look good. I was sad that they aren't from scratch. Pre packaged biscuits, syrup, cinnamon and brown sugar is all you need.

Then I made lasagna

Cooked noodles

Fresh onion

Italian sausage

Pressed garlic
All together in a sauce

Ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan
 Yummy Lasagna. On our first date to the Old Spaghetti Factory for Freshman homecoming hubby ordered "lasaGna" for years I thought he didn't know how to pronounce it right.

As a side I had to try the Hasselback bread.

 I used smoked Gouda. Delicious!
 As this recipe was from scratch I was much happier with it and will most likely make it again. I am a sucker for anything garlicy.
