Bringing the outdoors in

I know what you are thinking!

"Where the heck have you been?"

What can I say? I don't really have an excuse except that it's Summer time!

We are being lazy here. Enjoying our time together because I know the rest of summer break will fly by and my kids will go back to school again. I love having them home with me all day {even though our house always seems to be a mess}. So I haven't done as many projects or as much blogging. Yep, I'm being lazy and loving it!

I did manage to squeeze in one cute little project!

I love these adorable chicks n hens that I have in our backyard and wanted to bring a few indoors.


I started off with this plain little bucket I picked up at Target for $1.00. No, I can't get enough of that store!

I used a nail and hammer to make some small drainage holes in the bottom.

I cut out a square of burlap fabric and used some paint and a foam stamp to stamp on my number.

I used my hot glue gun to attach it to the bucket.

I added some gravel to the bottom.

Then I added my succulents from my garden.

I love how they look indoors. Such a quick project as well!

Have a wonderful day!
