Going Potty!

{SIDEBAR} OK...I am obviously using the British definition of "potty"...
you know...nutty, addlepated...NOT the American version!
Can you have a "sidebar" before you have even started? If not,please
don't rat me out to Judge Ito! ;}




So, I don't know if you now this about me...but I have a lot of terra cotta
pots...I can't resist them! They are my kind of blank canvas! To paint,
to glitter, to decoupage...whatever is floating my boat on any given day!
I really can't even remember when I bought these little pots...and I don't
know what made me think about them today...possibly my synapses were
awakened by the Hotpocket brain food I had for breakfast?




Or perhaps it's because a whole new world has opened up to me since
I figured out {with A LOT of help} my printer...it only took me 2 years...
have I mentioned that I am lazy? Yah...the kinda lazy that takes 2 years
to get motivated...that's lazy! I suppose then, that this must be included
as chapter 57 of The Lazy Girl's Guide To Crafting From Your Couch...
"Two Years In The Making...And Mount Rushmore It Ain't!"





So, first I lazily sort of whitewashed the pots...
this means that the bowl I poured the paint into...because the hole was
plugged up with old paint...had a bit of water in it so, my paint was
fortuitously transformed into "whitewash"...and you know, I figured what the
heck, let's go with it! Sometimes I get all Zen like that!
Then I covered the rim with a copy of an old document {copiers are like
magic! ;}
And let me tell you...this was not as easy as it sounds! You cannot just cut
a band of something an expect it to travel nicely around the circumference
of any given object!
No worky!
Now I am not up on the geometrical physics of all this...but it takes a bit
of planning and a fair amount of thought...which, depending on the day,
might also necessitate Ibuprofen!



But, even I was able to get a handle on it...ok, yah, after the Ibuprofen! Don't
judge! It's not like it was a shot of Grey Goose or anything!
And next, because I told you that I would...and I may be lazy, but I'm not a liar...
I used more of my spendy-burlap-scripty stuff!




{A bona fide LAZY GIRL craft!}




You could actually use these for plant life...you would only need to seal
the inside...but since I have a "black thumb" that is out of the realm of
reality for me!




I am recommending...for myself...that I use them for tchotckes only!
{I have much better luck with non-living things!}





Think pens, pencils & protractor for your desk...ok, exnay the protractor,
but you get the idea!
Q-tips in el baño...
Teaspoons in the kitchen...
Chopsticks...
Straws...
Lollipops...
ok, I'm out...
