It’s so nice to whittle away at my overwhelming supply of crafty doo dads! This month may seem like an odd mix, but we are painting our bathroom and my completed project will probably be going in there.

Somewhere on a Beach
We love visiting the coast each year, usually Alabama in February.
My favorite activity is strolling along the waters edge, hand in hand. We talk, laugh, and listen to the waves. There’s not an ocean in Arkansas, so anything found along our walks is interesting to us. Most things are tossed back, but we do like sand dollars. We have never found any of substantial size that weren’t broken. Is there a trick for finding them? They seem to be very fragile.
Some of these small ones were found this year and some are from last year.
Handsome Husband noticed a penny press in the USS Alabama gift shop and couldn’t resist the fun tourist activity. That star fish was a gift from a friend’s daughter ages ago.
My stash includes a monstrous stack of frames. Avoiding an avalanche somehow, I managed to find one perfect for this month’s project that had a nice, thick mat. Oh, and this old velour jacket was in my pile, too. Isn’t the fabric a pretty color?
My project begins with dismantling the frame and mat along with cutting a sleeve off the jacket for a square of fabric. The blue velour is held in place on the back of the mat with some clear tape.
Then my objects found somewhere on a beach were arranged, rearranged, removed, and arranged again.
Once a decision was FINALLY made, they were held in place with just the tiniest bit of white glue. The frame and glass were then gently built back around them.
Since our bathroom is currently a complete wreck of paintbrushes and missing trim, photos were shot on the side of our old milk barn. ‘Love the look of that weathered wood with the black frame.
