Wood Boarding Flowers

Nice days in MN are a rarity this time of year.  Thankfully we've been in a bout of sunny days, and today was no exception.  I even got a little sun.  Now my veins aren't so bright.

I've been meaning to paint a little somethin', somethin' for a friend and his fam who is moving to St. Louie, and doing it outside was probably the best decision I have made all day.  The vitamin D is much needed.  Instachipper.

This blog has been fairly limited to "house projects," but sometimes I don't feel like doing them.  Like, at all.  It would be nice to maintain the blog, and not desert it as often as I do, so if  you wouldn't mind, I'm going to start showing off a little artwork here and there.  If there is ever a piece that strikes your fancy, I work off commission, and thrive on custom, uniquely you ideas.  So, don't be shy.

I've also added an Instagram ticker, so you can see what I've been up to.  If you like what you see, feel free to follow me @slothahontas.  Heart!

 For this piece of artwork, I used a cheap-o board I picked up from Hobby Lobby for $3.00, and some leather lace.  I grabbed some finishing nails and pounded them into the side.  I love pieces that are no fuss, simple, and don't require some crazy-expensive matt and frame.  Plus, it's nice to do something unexpected once in awhile.

I dunno, kind of fun, right?

Not on a related note: If you are looking for some elegant pots and planters this spring, look no further than Anthropologie.  All things considered, their pottery pieces are pretty reasonable.  I scored this damn gorgeous Celadon Garden Pot from Anthro a few weeks back, and I'm having a hard time committing the planter to do one thing.  And Pssst.  Right now they are having their 40% clearance sale.

Hopefully you are out enjoying the weather yourself today.  As always, thanks for reading!

Best,
