Being home has given us extra time to be creative and finish up some projects around the house.

During the early stages of the virus, before the stay at home order took effect in Michigan, we let the kids have a friend over. We made bird feeders with peanut butter, pine cones, and bird seed. We also tried one with an old ketchup bottle but that was an epic fail.

I would like you to take note of their super excited faces…

I found some pretty interesting things in our front field. I started picking them and realized they make a cute nature bouquet. I stuck them in a vase with pine cones and tied some ribbon around them. Viola. New centerpeice. Please notice the Lysol in the background…

Our windmill needed some repairs so while it was taken down and apart, we painted the center with the Grass Lake spear. GO WARRIORS! FEAR THE SPEAR!

My husband’s uncle made me this bench for me about 16 years ago. It got lots of love by the kids’ swingset at our old house. But once we moved, it sat by the barn collecting dirt. I decided to give it a facelift and painted it teal to match our rocking chair. I will plant some succulents in here once it warms up!

I made an attempt at home made birthday gifts since most of the stores are closed. Turns out I am great at pinning things on Pinterest but bad at actually making them! We have an overabundance of pine cones around here (as you can see from above projects) Here was my creation.

The kids painted our door. I have seen these stained glass windows popping up all over the place and they look great!

We finally found time to fix the broken rope swing in our front yard.

Let me see your creations!
