I know you all thought I dropped off the face of the earth. Well not exactly but summer has just been really busy. I'd like to say I was off the radar on some tropical island sipping a frozen drink but that's not the case. While my boys were gone I thought I would get all kinds of projects done. HUH not the case, it was crazy the first week I got caught up on some paperwork for my husbands business and the second week I was in panic mode trying to clean and catch up on laundry. It wasn't all work and no play I did catch the new Sex In the City movie with an old dear friend. Mom and I had a great day "junk" shopping, I'll post my finds tomorrow, they made me very excited. And my husband and I celebrated our Anniversary in Orlando for some much needed down time. No Mickey Mouse but we did go to Joe's Crap Shack (which is an experience all in itself), a great dinner show (Sleuth Dinner Show) and went to the Outlet Mall. Yes my husband acutally endured the day with me at the mall, he's a keeper. It has been full steam ahead ever since the boys have been back. We had our niece and two nephews come visit for a little while, which made six kids (five boys, two braindead teenagers, UHOY!) Then we celebrated my middle son's tenth birthday which seemed to last a whole week. Yestereday was the first day we just stayed home and had time to catch our breath.
Well here is the Wednesday's Window you have been waiting for :
My inpiration was a technique I saw on
Make the Best of Things where she made a 3d effect with hot glue that really looked like old tin. So I thought why not give it a try on a window?
I started with duplicating the lines of this cross that I had hung in my entry way.
glued the stencils to cardboard cut to fit in each window pane.
Then applied the hot glue along the lines that I had drawn out. It takes some patience but overall I think the effect came out quite nice.
I then spray painted them a metallic, stainless steele color ( same paint I used on the dresser hardware), and topped with a coat of that celery green latex paint I used on the first window project.
I have a dear friend that collects crosses so this one is for you Sherri! I love you girl cant wait to see you. :)
Linking up to the last Bragfest at :(
Praise God for YOU!!!
