Nursery painting

Hi all,


Little break from the norm here.  I painted a little dealie for Liam's "nursery", which is sadly just a corner of a very cluttered craft room and in desperate need of some sprucing up.  


I mentioned in this post a while ago that I loved the quote:

 “It is not a slight thing when those so fresh from God love us.” ~ Dickens

I also really liked these little 3D rain decorations from goshandgolly's Etsy shop.   


So I went to Walmart in search of some little canvases and found these canvas boards, painted them blue then spent a long time cutting and gluing together little 3D clouds and raindrops.  

What cha think?


The swirly paint is shiny and pearly.  And so are the clouds, except I couldn't get that to show up in the pictures.
As soon as I figure out a way to hang them...
...they're going up on Liam's wall!
 And since the canvas boards were 3 for $6 and I had everything else already, this little project cost under $5!  Yippee!  






Linking up to a couple parties:

  2. I didn't realize until now what an absurdly large and obnoxious button that is for the Thursday Party. Oh dear.

    Aaaand, your project is stellar and I'm stealin' it up. I really love the clouds and the shading on them. You are too clever.

  4. Seriously. When will you realize you have three children now and you cannot be this crafty and creative?

  5. I love this, Janice! How ever did you find the time? Heavens! But maybe it gives you a little sanity-time, huh?

  6. This turned out adorable, and that quote is so true. PS - saw your newest post - curious if baby started sleeping through the night :).

    From one very sleepless mother to another...lol

  7. The 3D decorations are really lovable and tempting! Thanks for sharing this idea to us and for sure a lot would try something in their own rooms. However, though these are appealing to kids, the decorations must still be kept higher so that kids will not tamper them or even play with them unless supervised.

  8. Wow, this is really an amazing idea. I so love those adorable 3D raindrops because they are so creative. Babies and children are really angels from God and thus they have the right to a beautiful room. This post certainly inspires lots of mothers and fathers alike to give their kids all that are best. Thank you for sharing this post.

  10. What a unique idea! It sure looks like the walls have depth like that of a 3D photograph. This design id not just appropriate for children's rooms but also for those who are young at heart. An inspiring idea for those who want to make their walls enchanting, thanks!
