A Craft For "Z" Craft Impaired

Who needs a little pick me up?

I kind of figured you might.

Here's a hint.

It has something to do with Grannies.

Because when you hear Granny,

what word immediately comes to mind?

That's right!

Doilies!

Now I need to be clear here.

I am craft impaired.

But Youngest, Middlest and Eldest all love to try their hand 

at all sorts of gluey, glittery, and painterly things.

I will only agree to go along with the said craft 

as long as it involves only two of these steps.

So you can count on one thing about crafts here at "z" bungalow.

They will be easy.

Along with the doilies you will need to find yourself some paint.

Just good old every day watercolour paint.

Simply paint each doily with several colours (less water means more saturated colour)

and let dry.

So why do we, here at Bungalow'56, feel we need a pick me up?

Well, it's starting to get colder around here, and darker.

Real dark.

Like 7:00 pm dark.

On our way to 4:30 pm dark in no time flat.

You'd think I'd be used to it by now,  having grown up here.  

But it shocks me each and every winter.

In my youthful arrogance, I swore I would never live here.

But it's funny what happens when you meet a guy....

who happens to be an Agronomist.

Somebody should have told me; that there aren't a lot of Agronomy jobs in the Bahamas.

Aw heck, you and I both know it wouldn't have made a darn difference.

Not only did he know his way around a tractor, he also spoke french.

What more can I say?

Hmm... I seem to have drifted a little off tractor...

I mean track.

Where was I?

Oh yes, doilies. 

So we here at Bungalow'56 are trying to keep the summer within.

Aren't you feeling a bit happier already?

Just look at those bright summery doesn't get dark until midnight colours.

I can feel it already.

These rainbow doilies are going to do the trick.

Don't they just smell like flowers?

Can't you hear the bees bu"zz"ing?

I think I've found my rainbow!

Youngest worked hard to paint these.

Didn't she do an amazing job?

I think I might have to hire her to paint the upstairs.

Now we just have to find "z" sewing machine;
and sew these all together into a nice long happy doily garland.

I think Granny would approve!
Don't you?

xoxo,

Thank you to Meg Duerksen for the inspiration!

Wondering about all the "z's"?
