We've had so much rain lately that you'd think on the one sunny day we had last week, we would have hit the beach with lightening speed. You'd think.
But we didn't. We continued our homebound activities as if the sky was still wringing out wet towels on top of our heads. We continued our streak of made-up crafting-- most of which did not produce anything worth photographing (shhh-- don't tell them I said that)-- with this one project that I'm actually pretty fond of:
We made a bird bath, using a pot that had been hiding under a net of cobwebs next to our compost bin, and a clay pot tray that was chipped three summers ago and cast aside because I just *knew* we could use it someday.
To make our makeshift birdbath, we spent some time decorating the clay pot and tray with acrylic paints (at least we did this outside in the sunshine).
Once the kids felt satisfied with their designs,
We just let it dry, filled the tray with water, and set it in our garden for the birds to enjoy. Except so far, I've only been able to capture Lizzie enjoying it. Ah, well.
This is still an easy project and could make a cute gift. For a taller bath, just add more upside down pots.
