Hello my sweet friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday filled with friends, family and lots of delicious food. It seems like we enjoyed bbq food all weekend, which I find so hard to resist, but thankfully it can also be very nutritious (if you choose wisely).
On my previous post, I shared with you a summer table setting. I found these adorable vintage watermelon napkins which coordinated so well with the entire theme, but while taking pictures, the napkins kept flying off the table. So I thought it would be a cute idea to make a little napkin weight by simply cutting out some of the watermelons and using ModPodge to attach them to a painted rock. So easy and yet so useful…
Because I often paint rocks with the kiddies in the summer time, they not only felt left out that I had done this without them, but they were also surprised that I had glued the pictures and not painted them myself. Can’t a girl take a shortcut once in a while?
Well, needless to say we painted some more rocks…
I painted a little berry and while editing the photos I thought I should have added a little quote of some sort. What do you think?
I found a website by a very talented artist named Ron Clifford. He paints all sorts of beautiful art on rocks and I loved a little red lizard he had painted and decided to paint my own…a turquoise one of course.
Painted rocks by the kiddies….
I continue to work on the panda mural that is due this Sunday, but at the same time I’m also trying to spend some time with the kiddies. Yesterday we built a habitat for my boys’ little froglette. Hubby had taken them to catch tadpoles about a month ago and over the weekend one of them lost its tail, which meant he needed a new bachelor pad. We also needed to make a fruit fly trap to feed them to it.
Today we went strawberry picking and made some strawberry smoothies; tomorrow we’ll make some delicious homemade jam…..we love our summers!
I hope you’re enjoying your summer and as always, I am grateful for your company.
much love,
Lucy
You are so very talented!!
I love these…especially the strawberry one!
SO cute!! Great idea! ; )
I love your rocks! I used to paint on rocks too when my kids were little! Nothing quite as good as yours though! Love that you are spending time with your kids and enjoying yourself…but….GET BACK TO THAT PANDA thingy- I am waiting to see it finished!!! xo Diana
What a fun time! that lizard painting is amazing!! love all your painted rocks!
Hi Craftberry. I am honoured you found my rock paintings inspiring. I didn’t realize so many people were interested in it. Thank you for crediting me as well for inspiring your lizard rock. I have always been such a realist, your use of colour is quite alive and refreshing. Keep up the good work!!
I thought for sure you had painted and so glad to know even I could make these or should I say my class could make foe gifts! Thanks!
So cute! You are so talented. Enjoy the time with the kids…it is fleeting.

Very creative! I am enjoying your blog so much!

We believed without a doubt you’d colored and thus happy to understand actually I possibly could help to make these types of or even must i state my personal course might make enemy presents! Many thanks!

I chose to paint my own little red lizard after admiring one he had previously painted.
