Water-y Art

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about this song. Well, the song is so great that it inspired some art! ^^

I watercolored the ocean on top of the song lyrics

and then laminated the art work and put it up in our bathroom. 

The reason I laminated the artwork is because this is our bathroom: 

Most bathrooms in Korea are like this, no tub and a completely open shower. 

Our shower head is connected to our sink and attached the wall. 

Directly below the sink is the drain. 

We shower right in the open with plenty of room to dance around 

and potentially get pieces of artwork wet, but not if they're laminated!  

Don't you love our flowered tile? I do. 

Linking up all over the place.

Triple Word Score

Scrabble tiles have been all the rage on Pinterest lately. 
I decided to let myself be inspired. 
We don't play as much Scrabble as we would like these days, because I'm a crazy sore loserbecause we just don't have much free time. So, I didn't feel bad about sorting through our Scrabble tilesand using some of them for decorations. ^^ 
This "craft" is free and easy and only requires some tape, some Scrabble tiles, and some sticky tack: 

I picked out the letters I wanted and arranged them into the connected words. 

Then I taped them together on the backsides. 

I taped each of the letters together separately 

and then used one long strip of tape for each word for more security: 

I used bits of sticky tack on each corner and in other random spots

and then stuck the entire piece to the fridge. 

And yes, our microwave is on top of our fridge. 

We have a tiny apartment and we do what we can. 

And, it's really funny to see our short friends try and reach the microwave. =)

For the love of house plants.

I love love love having flowers in the house. 
I just can't keep them alive. Just call me "death-thumb" but I can't keep green things alive for the life of me (pun-tended). 
Fortunately for me I've got these babies: 

Aren't they great? 

I found a wonderful tutorial over here for these rolled paper beauties. 
I didn't know where to look for florist wire here in Korea, so I just trimmed down some old wire hangers and covered them in green tissue paper. 
Add a mason jar and some coffee beans (my husband graciously sacrificed some)and you're done! 

If you want to get fancy you can even spray them 

with a bit of your favorite perfume! 

The best part is that I can't kill 'em.
