Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Ice and snow made for a great start today, but things got better. I had some odd customers at work, but also some very nice and that is what made today good. Any time that you can smile is good and I was able to do that quite often today. 
On my recent trip to the thrift store I bought this wooden apple container. It was too good to pass up and was only $2.80. The before looks a bit rough because of the tape and chipped paint but it was quick and easy to remedy. I painted the inside a pretty shade of green and then added a fun decorative design. The outside was painted in red but I cannot take the credit for the pattern. The flower and butterfly design was already there, I just accented it with the black paint. The only thing left to do is to paint on a glossy finish. This was a case of someones trash being turned into a cute treasure. I don't know what to use it for yet but who cares it looks nice sitting on my table.
