Eye Shadow Colored Hair

Hi!

My sweet little girl loves coloured hair but neither me or her want to : spend money and /or  have something permanent or even semi permanent on her hair so..we saw this on Facebook and tried to replicate  ...for fun ....and it kinda worked!

All you need:

- Dollar store or old eye shadows

- Drop of water

Just wet the pigment a tiny bit and with your hand spread on your strip of hair..

Green hair! lol

"Voila"!!!! And it lasts one day if you child loves to shower lol

Revamping table and chairs: New Breakfast Nook

Hi!

We are just through the paintaking process of painting our entire house in the best DIY style.

My sunroom has now a camling, almost white blue colour that depending on the light is acqua or green ( love it!), and the dark table I had in a corner was just not belongung any longer.

I decided to revamp it with gray chalk paint, distress it and revamp the chairs as well.

So here it goes:

Firts I primed with my TO GO primer , Kilnz

After 2 coats of chalk paint

Distress.....

snazzy!

Now to chairs...Despite loving the fabric I had not far long ago used to refurbish the cushions, it didnt belong anymore as well

I used two differenr fabrics.. jsut to be different and because I couldn't pick...love both!

Distress...

I love my new corner !

Minimalist Nativity

Hi , I love Nativity scenes, and every year try to make a new one, sometimes with weird materials such as...chalkboard, toilet paper rolls, split rocks  and kinder eggs cases :)

This year I hadn't made any until yesterday as I have been , sadly, way too busy and also I had a creativity blank. ( bummer).

But, while shopping my last gifts yesterday,  I saw this "shelf" at a store ( STOKES) , on sale for $6  dollars and when I saw it , I imagined a modern and minimalist Nativity scene.

I had bought these wooden pegs (for a Nativity of course ) at Michael's, some weeks ago,  but that creativity blank I mentioned ( bummer) made them sit in my craft room untouched:(

Now, they sit in my minimalist and simple (oh I love it ) Nativity scene for 2016. 

I will run to Michael's today try find " baby Jesus" wooden little thing and complete it!
**UPDATED..WITH baby Jesus!:)

Merry Christmas!
