Hello friends......thanks for joining me this week.

Mr. Secret Agent had given me flowers a while back (thanks hon!). 

They came in this tall yellow metal bucket, which was lovely, however the yellow was a tad too bright.

But you already know I can fix that..right?

Out came the Mod Podge, antique sheet music and 

CHALK PAINT™ brand decorative paint in Graphite.

After thoroughly cleaning the metal bucket, I started applying the Mod Podge in small sections

and adhering small torn pieces of sheet music.

I started at the bottom and worked my way up, overlapping pieces as I went along.

It went very quickly and when finished covering the piece, 

I gave the whole thing a final coat of matte Mod Podge.

I painted the exposed handles and edges with Graphite CHALK PAINT™ because it adheres to metal with no priming..so cool!

I went outside and picked two Hydrangea stems for a little photo shoot.

I think my bucket vase is much more stylish now.

Mod Podge and CHALK PAINT™ a match made in Heaven!

And here is just a sneak peak of some sewing I have been doing lately. 

Creating some cheerful aprons for my new shop.

Lot's of color pops!

Until next time.....be kind and stay creative.
