Cast by real sunshine!.

Also, if you’re like me in another way, you may find yourself in desperate need of some fun and easy activity to occupy your kids about, oh, 67 times a day..When Chris was putting our tree up a few weeks ago, he cut this little slice off of the bottom to make it super fresh and ready to drink up all that yummy water.

He asked me if I wanted the slice and of course I did.. After having it sitting on my desk for a few weeks, I finally got an idea.And that idea worked!Don’t you love that?.

I set Kennedy up with some acrylics, some paint brushes, and some q-tips to make the little dabs..It didn’t require too much fussing or carefulness and you can see she only painted the front.

That just adds to the rustic charm!.

If you have an extra fire log and a mitre saw, you can churn out a whole set of these in less than half an hour!.This is what happened to the table under the smaller one, so you can image under the larger bouquet.

Best to stick to just a few sprigs of this one, I think..These certainly aren’t the flowers for a big fancy shmancy table setting.

If you have an old farmhouse in slight disrepair like mine though, they’re free, and sometimes they’re just the right thing!.Do you ever find random weed flowers and use them inside?Today’s idea is a quick and simple one, and I like that, so I thought you might too.. I’ve been meaning to do this for a month or two, ever since I saw some different topiary shapes they were selling in the Pottery Barn catalogue..
