~DIY Mosaic China Heart, Rain Boots & Paris Coloring Book and Simple & Sweet Fridays #202~


I've been wanting to make a mosaic china heart for a
 Valentine's Day project.
I bought a porcelain heart last year and then I dropped it and it broke in half.
When I looked through all my things for Valentine's, I came across it again and thought why not glue it together.  
I've been collecting china plates and had the perfect one for this project.
I had some pink paint for the background.
First, I cut the pieces with tile cutters.
Always use protective glasses and gloves.
I figured out where I wanted the china pieces to go.
 I painted the heart and let it dry for about 30 minutes.

Then, I glued down the pieces with Adhesive Grout, 
let it dry for about 1 hour.
Filled in the heart with the Adhesive Grout and added white pearls.

It's a easy project for the Winter months.
I found some cute garden boots today at Target. 
With all the rain we had in San Diego, they were perfect.
I also put my name down on a list at Anthropologie to get Free Christmas trees after the holiday. 
They called and I picked them up and will 
use them this coming Christmas!!
It was a cold rainy week in San Diego.
So, I bought a Paris coloring book to past the time.
It is illustrated by Zoe De Las Cases,
Secret Paris
Color Your Way to Calm



Coloring is one of my favorite past loves! 

Lets see what you've been working on!

    California really needs the rain so it is welcome, but hopefully we get a big snowpack in the mountains where we will get a slow melt. Great boots. I love what you did with the heart.

    Your heart is so cute! I love that coloring book too. When I was young I loved nothing better than to have a new box of crayolas and a coloring book. Maybe I need to pick up coloring again. :-)
    Thank you for the party.

    Hi Jody,

    Thanks so much for the feature; what a sweet surprise!

    Your mosaic heart, the culmination of creativity and crafty pieces is very pretty, as are your new, cheery rubber boots! I used to love colouring as a little girl, and now, wouldn't you know, it has made a comeback for me as an adult. Ha!

    Have a wonderful week ahead!

    Hugs,
    Poppy

    I love doodling and coloring in my doodles, but I don't make enough time for it.

    These rainy days, I really need to set aside some time.
