I had myself a little nap time craft therapy the other day.
Here are the supplies that I gathered.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this 1939 page from Home Arts magazine?
"Old Leg Trouble"? "Wake Up Your Liver Bile"?
"Old Leg Trouble"? "Wake Up Your Liver Bile"?
Oh. My.
Charming and disturbing at the same time.
Anyway...
I used an old tomato sauce jar and took the label off with Goo Gone. Then I measured and cut a cute portion of the magazine page, and added a scallop to the bottom.
I cut some little hearts out of the center.
Using the Mod Podge, I applied the paper around the jar, pulling it tight so it laid smooth and overlapped at the back. I placed the heart cut-outs where I wanted them and brushed over them also.
Then, I added a piece of velvety ribbon around the jar with hot glue.
Lastly, I put some pebbles in the bottom, and added a votive candle.
Looks super cute and cozy lit at night!
I. Love. Nap time.
And amen.
Have you been doing any interesting crafts lately?

I want a light like that to eat my light and simple supper by while gazing at my zinnia bouqet and watching that sweet goomer in the window. I wait with baited breath for the next post but Muzzy says it's baited with a dead thing. So much for garlic toothpaste! Love It All!! Keep It Up!!!
