Every Day Ugly – Part 9
.
In 2013, I did several “Every Day Ugly” posts on the second Wednesday of the month. What is “Every Day Ugly?” It’s where I look around at all the things I use the most, to make sure those are my “best” things. This series was inspired by my friend, Amy, who noticed that some of the ickiest things she owned were the things she used the most. She wanted to change that to make sure that her every day life was filled with beautiful, functional things. This inspired me to take a look around and make sure that I wasn’t saving “the best” for days that rarely come.
I don’t have any “improvements” to report this month, but my friend Sue, of Graceful Greyhounds, sent me this lovely project.
She took a plain glass vase.
Punched out flower shapes.
Adhered them to the vase.
And Voilà! The perfect reminder that spring is a mere three months away. Thank you, Sue. What a beautiful project.
What a great way to take something that is “plain” beautiful! Lee and Phod
Very talented!

Cute!
Taaa-daaah!
what a nice idea – simple, clever and makes an impression. Very cheerful flower-power effect!
Thanks Lori for putting up my little project. Thanks to you all for your kind comments.
NB…I used sticky backed plastic for the flowers. It was a simple case of punching and then taking the backing off.
That is just beautiful and simple enough that maybe even Mom could do one:0
Happy New Year and all the best in 2014.

Oh, that is beautiful! I’m not surprised, though, because her cards are always so lovely and creative!
That clever gal, Sue!
Lovely idea!!!
