Another One Bites the Dust

Lately, my projects have been experiencing issues.

Exhibit A: Cool potting container with no hole. Would like to use as decorative "bowl" for 4th of July



Opted to use chalkboard paint so that I could have a cute little label to identify the contents.

Son of a...



I even took the time to make a cute little cover.



I guess I'll scrape the rest of the paint off and try again. This time, I'll sand and prime it first.

Placemats - Take Two

The Clorox Bleach Pen was a bust.

Take Two: I mixed bleach with baking soda until it was a glue-like consistency. And used a very tiny paint brush.

A quick dunk in cold water, a little drying time and presto! It worked!

Bleach bleeds. But the kids dig 'em.

Where Did the Fork Go?

Well, the original name for this post was "The Fork Goes Where?"

I got the idea from the Queen Bee, Martha: check it out.

I'm trying to teach my kids how to set the table and I figured these would be fun and easy placemats. Martha can't show that the pen she used was a Clorox Bleach Pen but the picture on her page pretty much gives it away.

So, I drew a cute little place setting with my Clorox Bleach Pen, let it set, then rinsed it out.



Um, where did the fork go?



Looks like someone did a switch-a-roo on me and I got the disappearing bleach. How come that never happens with my good pants?

Perhaps this explains why I can't get stains out?
