Captured Life of Us

This is one of the easiest gifts and very inexpensive gifts you will ever make.   You need:
Wooden Spoons,A glass bottle or JarRibbonSome Paint,and some sticky tape

Take the sticky tape and wrap it above where you would like the paint to stop.  Next take a brush and apply the paint.  Give the spoon handle at least three good coats.  Don't apply the coat of paint to thick and give the coat of paint enough time to dry.

Using different colors or Hues of the same color makes for an elegant look.  After the paint has dried use the ribbon to wrap them in a bundle.  place them in the glass jar and there you have a stylish and elegant gift to give to a friend.

Something they can always have around.

TIP: When choosing the colors take into consideration the color scheme of the person you will be giving the gift too.

Family dinner have become very important to me.  They seem to refresh my soul.  Laughing and chatting about things around a table of food has a therapeutic effect on me.  So I keep it simple when cooking for the close family.  Even setting the table i try keep it simple.  As they say Less is More...

Setting a table for an intimate family dinner table I always use some vintage crockery i find in second hand shops.  I Found these two beautiful pieces above for only R 200.  I had the Bowl restored at Radford Antiques as it had a crack in for another R100.  Not expensive at all.  Could not buy new bowls like these for the price i got them.    

I used a Plain white square plate and some beautiful Crystal glasses with our grandmothers gold plates cutlery set.

NOTE: Please try use fabric napkins.  Paper napkins to be used at Children's parties, BBQ's and Picnics.

As you can see I kept it simple.

Now all you need is your Family and good conversation.

Most people are put off by the thought of making their kids rooms black and white.  Just look at how beautiful black and white can be used in a kids Room.  #kidsroom #poshkids #kidsdesigns
Simple storage like this can easily be made in a weekend DIY project.

Here is How:

Get four square untreated Pine square's.  Use screws and wood glue to join the square blocks together.  The paint them till they are white and black.  The door pieces are not necessary.  If you want to attach them ask the hardware store to cut two pieces and attach them with door hinges you can buy at the hardware store.


Simple pieces of art like below are great ways to keep the white walls interesting...

Hi Friends and Followers,

We are in the 6th Month of the year.  Can you believe it.  Half way through 2015...  Time is just slipping by... I must say I had a month or two where I was waking up with a hangover of life.... I had to stop being distracted and get focussed again.. 

You know when you are looking for yourself you can easily get lost in this crazy world... Don't look for another you, cause there is nothing wrong with who you are.  Keep holding on to the best days... They will carry you through the days you can't face the person looking back at you.... We all have moments that we think we can't stand the sight of ourselves... thats when we start looking for another you... 

My friend Nix and I was talking today that we must not be waiting and looking so much that you miss out on the best time of our lives.... Remember time lost can never be given back... Stop Looking and start living... Be in love with your life every day ....The truth is that we are all looking for so…
