So this project is pretty mindless and quick and it takes a lot of waiting around, so it was a perfect one for today.

Pine cones and nail polish. Uh huh. For reals. I had to wait for the wood glue to dry overnight, and the painting took several coats with a lot of waiting inbetween for the coats to dry. Then a little hot glue for the beads and the pin on the back, and there are some fun little pins. I suppose I could have put one on a snap clip instead, but I like them this way for lapels and scarves.

Yeah and I totally didn't make this idea up. The tutorial is here. I think theirs looks a lot better, but whatev. It was still fun.
PS. That's totally a playpen in my bathroom. Our bathroom is huge with a lot of floor space and it never gets used during the day. Because the girls share a room, Tessa naps in here so Ainsley can have access to her room during the day. Our bathroom is so big you can still use both sinks, the shower and the toilet with plenty of room to walk around the playpen. So right now it's permanently sitting there. You know, whatever works, right?
