Art Display

I have been wanting an art display to put in Eiz room, but couldn't decide how I going to do it. Yesterday while walking around Hobby Lobby I found these cute wooded pegs that I thought would look so cute in the bedroom. I painted them the same color as her hair bow hanger then hung them 15" from the ceiling using black ribbon. I used the same ribbon and tied it from one peg to the other then used alligator clips to hang her pictures. I think it turned out so cute.

I might add another art hanger a

couple of inches below this one.

Recycled Bird Feeder

Eiz loves watching bird! When we bought our house there was a really nice bird feeder in the back yard. Because the ground was always to wet for a step ladder we had never put any seed in it. I found an empty pop bottle at work so Eiz and I turned it into a small feeder that we could place closer to the kitchen window.

I didnt have a metal holder the day we made it.

Leftover PVC pipe had to work for a couple of days.

Eiz colored the bottle with permanent markers. Just because it says permanent, doesnt mean that it will keep its color in rain and sunshine. All of the color on ours in now gone. :(

I noticed today that with the rain and warm weather that we have had, our bird seed is actually growing. I cant decide if I want to let it grow and see what it looks like or if I want to fill it with new dry seed.

Coffee Filter Butterflies

While Tanner made dinner the other night, Eiz was into everything. I was trying to come up with things for her to do, but nothing would keep her attention for very long. I decided to strap her in the high chair and make coffee filter butterflies. I didn't have any water colors so I made my own using water and food coloring. You really don't need a whole lot of water or your colors will be to light when they dry. Once you color them and let them dry, add a pipe cleaner for the body and antennas.

We have a nice big window in our kitchen and I love to use it as a display for art that Eiz has made. I hung our butterflies from the curtain rod using fishing string so that they look like they are flying. Sorry the picture is so dark and please don't mind the neighbors backyard. :)

Here is one that was made using water and food coloring. The colors look much brighter once they have dried.

I just used food coloring on this one and the colors are so dark.
