Time to Get Crafty - Francine Walton

Sept. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- There’s never a better time to get crafty than now-spring has arrived and it’s time to spruce up your crib. Soon you’ll want to invite some guest over for a barbeque and you’ll want your yard and patio to look its best. Why spend a fortune on decorations for the patio or your garden when you can get crafty and make them yourself? You can get tons of ideas by surfing the internet; even Martha Stewart has her own website offering craft ideas for the spring. You can also take time to visit Francine Walton’s blog-site at: http://craftycraftscraze.com/. All it takes is one trip to Wal-mart in you can see the craft isles budding with crafty ideas for this and that. Your town may even have a craft specialty store with an entire store filled with every imaginable craft item. Now is the time to get busy with your crafts. Spring is in the air and the weather is warmer. In most places of the country the snow has melted and people can be seen strolling the parks for some fresh air. Soon summer will make its appearance and so will the hot summer days. Any painting or outside projects will be too hard to work with in the hot summer heat. Spring gives you the chance to work on those outdoor crafts for your patio or garden without having to sweat in the miserable summer heat. What shall you do?

Go outside and scan your surroundings, what can you do to make your yard or patio look better? Perhaps it’s time to paint your porch or make some new chair pads for your patio furniture. The birds have returned from their winter hiatus and you can hear them singing outside your kitchen window. You can give the birds a welcome home party with some beautifully painted bird houses-a place for them to feel at home this spring and during the hot summer months. Paint a bird bath do the birds can cool off this summer. A couple of cheerfully painted birdhouses not only serve as pretty homes for your guests, but you’d be surprised how a couple of houses can give a plain yard some pizzazz.
