Don’t you love that?.

And would take about 3 minutes.Not too much time to waste at all!.

So I got to play around a bit without feeling too silly.. And then I got to take a few pretty pictures of it!.I just wrapped a little 20 gauge wire that I had in my kitchen utility cupboard around a mason jar and twisted a little hook out of the end.. We have all these little plastic hooks around the house in random places and I still haven’t taken most of them down yet.So I hung it from one of those..

I stuck some lilac branches in and called it done!I love the little bit of life it brings to this corner of the room, with its visible cords and half ripped-up floors.. It’s a great little pick-me-up for a corner that badly needs it, and every time I see it, it’s a pick-me-up for me too!.

When I clicked on the link, I couldn’t find my way to the original person who came up with this idea.

If you know, let me know so I can credit them!First of all, before we get into it today, do you want to know my big news?.and put this together, I told Chris that he was definitely going to have to help me with it because it was just going  to be too big of a job for me with this baby practicing his karate moves in my belly lately.

You know what though?I actually managed to get everything together in the course of a few days with no help at all, thanks to all of these easy projects I came up with that took me no more than 10 minutes each.

It all came together to create this great cheerful first impression that seems perfectly well-planned out even if I just stumbled my way into it..I wanted RED so I went and found these red stockings in my Christmas bins and this red picnic blanket that was with the camping supplies.. Next I went and quickly cut all these cedar branches from outside, just whatever I could carry easily in one trip.
