Shhhhhhh...all three kids are asleep at the moment! I'm sitting here with a white chocolate mocha from Star Bucks in hand and enjoying these few peaceful moments to catch up on emails and visit with all of you. The last load of laundry has been put away, I just got a whiff of the homemade lasagna cooking in the oven, my floors are gleaming and a lovely breeze is playing with my curtains.
Ouch...Stop pinching me!!! You're so cruel, waking me from my daydream like that.
Yes, of course I was just dreaming about how life would be for the perfect mother/housewife. Unfortunately, my reality is....all three kids are home from school today(PA day) and driving me bonkers, I haven't showered yet, my feet are resting on the basket of clothes I should be putting away, I have no idea what to pull out for supper and I would definitely benefit from another cup of java.
Can anyone relate?
Anyway enough about me, let's get on to the real reason you stopped by.
Hopefully it's to check out my latest project!
So, the other day I was shopping at Home Sense and I came across some of these. Don't judge, but I fell in love with the sassy, decorated broom handles and cleaning tools. I wanted to purchase one, but the
Anyway, I decided I would try to replicate them.
Tip-to measure the circumference of the broom handle use a piece of string. Then lay the string out and measure the string. This will be how much paper you need to cut in order to cover the broom handle.
Please don't comment that you think this project is tacky. You've already burst my bubble once today by waking me from my daydream.
Personally, I think they're fun and amusing. Seriously, who wouldn't want to jazz up a boring job like sweeping up dropped Cheerios?
Hoping your day somewhat resembles my daydream
Cherrios everyone,

I love pretty things and wouldn't mind a more attractive broom since it seems I spend all my time sweeping anyway, but just fyi, I saw those decorated ones at Ross for a fraction of that price! Yea discount shopping! Of course, your way you get to pick your design!

new follower from the blog hop and I ♥ this idea!! I think the brooms are awesome decked out like that (and nutso that they are charging that much for them in stores!). You did a fantastic job and I might just have to try this myself.
hope you'll stop by when you get a chance :)
