Everything around becomes a canvas
when I allow my creativity to run free…
You might be thinking…
‘this girl has waaaayyy too much time on her hands’
and I would not blame you if you thought that…
Who paints on PASTA after all? The answer is, me. Why you ask? Well…
1. I had left over paint on my palette and didn’t want it to go to waste (logical enough)
2. Isabella will always remember the day her mama said ‘let’s paint some pasta!’ (and she was not joking)
3. No matter how bizarre this is, you have to admit, they do make you giggle a little
And so in this creative, sometimes crazy, but never dull world of mine, painting some bow pasta doesn’t seem too crazy after all.
Because you see, perhaps it is not too much time on my hands that I have, but too much imagination that sometimes spills out in unorthodox ways…
But hey…look here…wrapping embellishment…
Cute little frame for little girl’s room?
Not so crazy after all, huh? (please don’t answer that)
.
I hope you allow your imagination and creativity
to do bizarre yet wonderful things today!
much love,
Lucy
p.s. Our family is taking another little trip to the cottage today for a couple of days and so I won’t be able to post, but am sure I’ll find a minute or two to check out what you’re up to.
Hubby is off this coming week and hopefully I can convince him to help me build something manly. I’m in the mood to saw and hammer some wood. I know exactly what I want to build and can’t wait to share with you.
See you all soon.

What a great idea, when I first looked I thought they were fabric. excellent.
SO cute!!!
ooo cute! what a sweet little idea 🙂
I LOVE these colors! I’m trying to incorporate them as accents into my bedroom… with white walls (apartment, can’t paint… tragedy!) and brown as the main color.
what a cute idea – my toddler would love this!
Those are soooo cute! You can put them in a little glass jar on your kitchen counter:)!

Your idea is really funny. I love all the variety created! Congratulations!
Brilliant idea, they are so cute. I know what i have to buy soon, heehee…
Hugs, Tina
They look lovely x
I think they are genius! Beautiful colors and patterns… hey why not? Always think outside of the box that’s what I always say!
I would totally paint pasta! LOL

Oh Lucy! This is hysterical. And so fabulous. Hmm, maybe something to try tomorrow with all 3 pixies at home…J x
Oh fantastic! I kept thinking how did she get that shape out of fabric and then I saw the picture with your fingers in the paint and it clicked you really did paint your pasta. Be your kiddos love projects like this. Anything that encourages creativity is amazing in my book! Have a fun and safe time away!
OH MY GOSH- When I first saw this I thought you had taken pinking shears and cut out little fabric rectangles and made them into little bow ties! That is one of the cutest things I ever saw. Only YOU would be painting pasta!;>) It IS something your daughter will always remember. My kids remember me bringing in cookie sheets heaped with snow and placing them on an old shower curtain on the kitchen floor so they could “play in the snow” because it was too cold to go outside.
Yep-Your kids will remember that- but…ah…here’s the rub…my kids STILL think I am crazy~ good luck with that- xo Diana
If we didn’t have people in this world with too much time on their hands we would be missing out on lots of pretty things. These are just adorable!!
Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us.

this is adorable! They do look like little fabric scrap bowties! Would probably make a cute little wreath of some sort in the kitchen!
Luv it!

I love that project – so joyful and whimsical. And the painted pasta looks so gorgeous! Have a lovely sunday! xx

bravo md
This pasta is just darling – crazy to paint them? I say put your art in an Etsy shop and let us “crazy” folks buy it, Lucy!
I forgot to follow up with you on dye for silk flowers. It turns out JoAnns carries dyes for synthetics. It is packaged like a seed packet. I purchased some, but did not end up using it. Thanks for your help.
Really cute! You do real sweet things. Have a great getaway…

sweet little idea
They are absolutely wonderful!
Oh Lucy! These are adorable. They look just like fabric. I love the little shadowbox that you put together.

These are so cute! I also thought they were fabric cut out with pinking shears. Then I scrolled down. Impressive painting on those little farfalle 🙂
That is the cutest and most creative thing ever! What paint did you happen to use?
fabulous idea and great colour combo!!! love, love, love turquiose and red!!
Those pasta bowls are seriously the cutest thing ever! You know I’ll be doing this project with my girls : )!
I hope your enjoying your vacation!
hugs, Cheryl
Very nice. I love it.
Oh my goodness that’s so cute!!
This is just the cutest thing I have ever seen! How creative are you?
Wow, when I clicked on this, I totally thought you had used fabric and pinking shears to make some cute faux pasta. This is even better! Adorable.

These are awesome. When I saw the thumbnail I actually thought they were fabric. These are too cute. I’d love for you link up at my Friday Link up on Blissfulanddomestic.blogspot.com These are just fantastic:>
Hahahaha, yes, a bit bizarre but totally adorable and what cute embellishments!! I especially love the idea of putting them in the shadow box/frame, but I can see little gift wrapping toppers too!
This definitely made me smile. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

Love this! May I know what type of paint you used for this?
I just saw this post, a year later! Please let us know what type of paint you used if you can remember. They look so nice and the colors so bright and saturated.
Just saw this post 3 years later and I love the idea !! so beautiful ! I love the patterns and choice of colors. Really good job.
A little late tot he party, but oh my gosh I love these! Can I ask, what kind of paint? You said it was on your “palette” so not sure what medium you used…I would love to try this for cards!
