Hot Party Features

Week #1 of Hot Fun in the Summertime has concluded.   Week #2 opens at 8 pm Thursday night. I'm suppose to pick the features.  Huh?  Me?  The one who procrastinates for.ever. has to pick within a few days?  Yikes!  How can I pick?  How many can I pick?
 
We had 90 entries.  Wow!  You guys are awesome, thank you so much for making the party a success.  So I did math, and I suck at math by the way, and I came up with the rule I could pick 9 features, that's like 1 feature for every 10 entries.  At my blog I'm the boss applesauce, and that's what I went with, (although I did count the mason jars only once even though it's two sets).  I also did some eenie meenie miney mo because a couple times I could not pick.  I guess the rules of this party thing is that I can't pick all 90 entries.


Here is a cute beach-stripe end table from TheUpholster'sWife.  
Nothing says summer more than the beach to this (old) California Girl.

I'm always looking for simple crafts that I can actually do.  
These little containers from TheDecoratingFiles are made from paper plates.  Helloooo, I have a cabinet full of paper plates,
and it's endless how you could decorate them.


CreativelyLiving took us for a walk around her yard.  Not only does she have an adorable little play house, she has this huge pergola to sit and sip a beverage of choice.  When you have a park at home to enjoy why go anywhere else?

Mason Jars are popular and versatile.  Is there anything they don't look cute with?
Kristy at 4theLoveofWood (Hi George!) shared these painted beauties in the color of summer.


I gotta mention these jars too from TheSimpleCraftDiaries
I am so gonna give both these jar ideas a try.

This armoire below didn't start out looking all pretty to hold towels.
SimplyVintageous made it over.


A bud vase garland as a new way to display all your fresh cut summer flowers?  This simple idea from Angie at KnickOfTime sparked some other ideas for me.  
Too bad I don't have any flowers though!

Shannon from FoxHollowCottage made a pool noodle wreath with flip flops.
Yeah, I'm copying this one, but I have to get to the dollar store first.

Stacey at EmbracingChange took this dresser and made it all stylish.  
I may try my hand at this style.

And last but not least I'm giving you a sneak peek at my next copy cat.  Yup, you heard it right here, I am copying this idea.  Might not be for a few weeks, but this will be the next furniture piece I do.  If you have not seen this dresser - so sorry - because it is Awesome with a capital A and it's right up my alley, with a lower case a.

Grab your button everyone and come back every Friday in July.




And now, because I can.........
if you don't know Kirby from KirbAppeal go meet her.  She freaking cracks me up.  Are you brave enough to post a dance video as you get ready to paint your living room?

  5. Great job on picking your favorites. I loved all those posts myself. I bet it was hard to make the choice who to pick when we had so many wonderful links last week. I can't wait to see your dresser re-do.

  14. Nice job Miss Bliss! Glad you added the video! Isn't it funny how you start out dancing one way in high school and college and you keep dancing that way until you die!

    1. Actually, Karen, I only just recently started dancing like that--after I broke both my feet. (Not at the same time.) For our next dance challenge at HouseTalkN, I will be dancing the way I did when I was in college. (Hint: it was the '70s.)

  15. Love these projects! I just recently found your blog and I think it's great. You have a good selection at your party. The music and entertainment at the end isn't so bad either.
    Love Kirby...just found her recently too.
