Hootin' Anni's Day Trippin'

With the Photo Hunt them this week, I may be considered a 'cheater' to some....According to Webster, UTENSIL is also defined as: an implement for practical use (especially in a household.} Now when I read the word 'utensil' I immediately think of something used in the kitchen mostly, perhaps in the dining room such as spoons, forks, knives, cooking implements such as spatulas, or maybe a hand held can opener. Things like that. But since Mr. Webster was kind enough to make the definition so vague, I thought I'd play a little game.

If you visit my blog much, a couple of Friday's ago, I had posted about a lamp that I found at the thrift shop when I was taking in a donation after I took a blogging break to get some much needed but neglected chores...done. I found this lamp for $3!! And it's something I've been wanting to find.....cheap...and for a craft project. Actually, a Halloween project that's been in the back of my mind for years now, but never forgotten. I just never found the perfect lamp at a good, inexpensive initial cost to me.

Now, follow me while I share some taken steps to show y'all what I did. And perhaps you can spy a few 'utensils' that would fit the category's definition above......

I see eight objects [three different kinds] in the two photos below that may be utilized to make practical use of the household implements [perhaps in a round-about way, considered crafting 'utensils']:




This concludes my Photo Hunt Utensils. Did you find them? If you want to leave now, before you go....say 'howdy' in my COMMENTS [link] to let me know you were here, visiting.




But if you're interested, I did finish the project last week. And I'll continue to post more photos below to show you the progress and the finished booger! I say booger, 'cause at times it became quite nasty. Stuff like the fringe and pom poms, etc. didn't cooperate. We had a tough battle, but I came out the victor! So, on with the show...




First, I painted shade & pedestal with Halloween colors-purple, orange and black, then, added black leather fringe.








I then painted a witch silhouette, added purple pom poms and then black lace and orange sequins...




Finished!! And all this for under $10.
