The Challenge

So, what does one do when one is unemployed? Joyously, temprorily unemployed? Well, if you're like me, you decide you're going to get a lot of "projects" finished. My dear friend Rose suggested that I go for a project a day. So, for the next 18 or so days until I started work again, I'm challenging myself to finishing one project a day, taking pictures, and posting about it. Some of these projects will be crafting, some trash to treasure types, some remodeling stuff. Who knows, you'll just have to drop in and see. :)

Here is DAY ONE:

The topiary-actually the first topiary because I have two other partially done. I've had the tiny little pinecones on the shelf for several years. I picked them up when I was working at our county historical museum. After I got all the pine cones glued on I realized I had some little spaces that needed filler and thought I'd put pheasant feathers in the spaces, but that was too many feathers and all my dried plant material was too big. So, I went for a little walk around the yard and came up with some rose hips, some daylily seed pods, some morning glory seed pods and some yarrow. The yarrow and morning glory seed pods I spray painted gold before tucking them in the little spaces.

I can't decide if this thing is finished or if it needs something more. Any opinions or ideas are welcome.
