Home Sweet Home

Well, it has been a long time since I sat down to do crafting or even think about crafting.  Let alone blogging about it.  Our family has recently moved and in the process of unpacking all the boxes and trying to find new places for all my crafts I came across a half finished project that I have pulled out and put on the crafting table with every intention of finishing it sooner then later.

My sister Amber and I years ago bought this little wood cut out project that spells the word HOME in big letters with a different shape for the O for each month depending on the season.  I am sad to say that it is not yet finished.  But maybe by blogging about it and sharing it with all of you it will get closer and closer to being finished.  So here is the first installment.  The letters themselves are painted a light brown with acrylic paint and then a black dot and dash line travels around the outside edge of each one.

The Apple itself a symbol of fall or school starting again I am honestly not sure which was painted in a custom mixed red that I like to think of as bright apple.  Then a little cream mark was painted on for the worm to exit from.  Seal it all with a satin finish wood paint sealer. Then add my favorite part and the finishing touch the worm itself.  It is made up of five green puff balls and googly eyes hot glued in placed.

Honestly I am not sure whether this lovely little apple should be used for the month of August or September.  What are your thoughts?
