Letter Art « 346 Living 6 Jun Hi All! Hope your Monday is going well. We all know the zinc letters at Anthropologie, right? Well they’re totally cute but at $18 a pop, that just won’t do. I decided to DIY them by using paper mache letters I got at Joann Fabrics. I sprayed it pretty heavy so I could get that blotchy uneven look. And here they are hung up in the kitchen! Ok next up! We used these two colors, first he sprayed the top coat in the lighter gold and then lightly sprayed some of the darker gold over it. Here they are on top of our mantel, I’m obsessed. I love how using two colors made them look a bit more aged and not so perfect. This project was so easy and fun, I seriously want to keep going but can’t think of anything else cute to write. I’m definitely going to do this in the babies room. Like this: Like Loading...

How To Create a Sacred Space at Home According to research published by Psychology Today, an appreciation of the sacred and a search for meaning beyond ourselves can promote strengthened relationships with others, positive emotions, and a sense of purpose in life. Whatever your spiritual beliefs (or non-beliefs) may be, it can be calming to have a special spot in your home reserved for quiet introspection and reflection. You might designate an entire room, or maybe a cozy nook in the corner of your bedroom would be perfect. Whatever space you choose, let it be a place where you can rest, re-connect with what is meaningful in your life, and be inspired to pursue your passions. 1. 2. 3. 4. Taking the time to create a designated unplugging station — a respite from the deluge of texts, emails and other electronic bleeps and incessant stimuli in our lives — can be a wise gift to yourself: a reminder to take a little bit of time each day to unlplug, to tune out, and to turn in.

lemontreecreations.blogspot.com/2011/05/doormat-wall-art.html I made these awesome wall hangings last year and they are one of the few decorations in my house that I have never gotten sick of or moved around. I saw the idea in Lowes Creative Solutions and obsessed over it until I could make them for myself. I shared them on my family blog at the time, but I've received so many compliments on them recently that I thought I'd share them here as well. I started off with a few pieces of poplar board, 1 inch x 12 inches x 6 feet. I had them sawed in half, which left me with two 3 feet x 12 inch boards. I sanded and stained the boards a dark walnut color, lined the edges with painters tape, and covered the boards with this doormat that I picked up from Lowes. I then spray painted 4 light coats of Valspar's Ivory through the doormat - 2 straight down on the mat and 2 from different angles to try to fill in all of the gaps. I allowed the paint to dry for about 30 minutes after the last coat, and when I pulled the mat off I literally squealed with delight.
COMO HACER PAPEL DE ARROZ EN CASA El papel de arroz es un producto típico de la zona de Vietnan, que se puede utilizar fresco (recién hecho) o bien deshidratado, en este último caso antes de usarlo se lo debe hidratar. Esta última opción es la habitual para quien desea consumir este producto, ya que se puede conseguir un paquete de papel de arroz seco en un comercio que tenga este producto importado (tal es el caso de los mercados chinos). En realidad hay muy poca información sobre esta preparación, al punto de que, es bastante difícil conseguir una receta en la red para hacerla en casa. Aquí expongo una receta que obtuve personalmente planteando un experimento científico, en virtud de mis conocimientos de química de los alimentos y de la poca información que pude recolectar. A mi entender un papel de arroz es un gel moldeado plano, sobre un lienzo tensado y cocinado al vapor. Se debe preparar una masa líquida viscosa parecida a la de los creps. Receta rápida: Para 8 papeles chicos de 18cm de diámetro
