Karins Kottage Linky Party

Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party- Making things

Well today is centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party-making things! I was so inspired by these projects that my friends made and linked up last week!

Watercolor painting, Creating a garden obelisk, a cool tire wreath and spring decor that you will love!

I am excited to share them!

Kottage Happenings

Do any of you have back issues? I do…about every 6-8 weeks it goes out. I think I have a disc issue that rears its head at the most inopportune time 🙁

Pain, Rest, Ice, Heat, Advil on repeat. So so frustrating because I just want to go and do and do some more!

I did get a few things done last week. One of which (before the back went out) was sewing! Perhaps that is what caused the back issues?

I made some outdoor cushion covers for some chairs on my patio. My old ones were thrashed!

They turned out so nice! I used waterproof canvas!

My daughter and her hubby got her baby nursery all put together with the darling wire hoop floral wreaths we made! You need to check out the shiplap wall they did!

Highlights from Centerpiece Wednesday last week

I have always wanted to learn how to water color! Wait until you see this tutorial on The Painted Apron!

The colors she chose are just gorgeous! Maybe I will give watercolor a go!

Her directions are really amazing!

I love these garden obelisk’s and I need my hubby to make me some hee hee.

You know I have this back issue so I would need his help wink wink.

Kippia at home shows exactly how to make these!

Since my hubby made my planked top table I am sure he could whip some of these up for me don’t you think?

Oh would I love a space like this! This room used to be an outdoor metal shed that CoCo from Crowned Goat cottage turned into her office!

Every square inch there is something beautiful to look at! She has brought in some spring decor and it looks amazing! You need to see the entire space!

Julie over at My Wee Abode has made this fabulous tire floral wreath!

I love galvanized anything and to see this galvanized tire turned into a wreath is just the best thing ever!

Really, I think I need one since I use this 3 tier galvanized stand here and this galvanized water dispenser all the time as well as this galvanized serving tray for the 4th of July.

A galvanized tire just belongs with all my other things?

Don’t you all agree? 😉

Such creativity, talent and work! Thank you ladies for sharing your ideas with all of us!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Thank you so much for featuring my spring cottage tour, Karin, I really appreciate it. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to work and play. I hope you and your family have a happy spring season. I can’t believe how fast it’s all passing by. Thank you for hosting each week and giving us a fun place to hang out. Hugs and thank yous, CoCo

  • Thanks for the party Karin. I am sorry to hear about your back issues. Please be careful & take care of yourself. XO- MaryJo

  • The wreaths look so pretty and sweet hanging in the nursery. Walmart faux flowers and greenery have improved so much. Thanks for hosting!

  • Serving This Week 4-5 to 4-9-2021 on my blog. Tuesday was Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup. Wednesday was Ham and Potatoes au Gratin. Thursday was Corned Beef and Turkey Sandwich. And Friday was Turkey Ham and Cheese Strata. Enjoy!

  • yep, got the back issues and seeing my neurosurgeon tomorrow to see about surgery. herniated discs. not fun at all. take care of yourself and don't stress your back. you may need to have an mri to get to the origin of the pain. I put mine off for years because so many other things were going on. oh yes, love the cushions!

    • oh my gosh! I've been debating about going to the Dr. but i figured that I know it is most likely a herniated disc so I just do exercises to keep it at bay. Sometimes though you just don't know what will cause it to go out. Loading the dishwasher, putting on pants, twisting one way and then BAM I am out for the count! It is so frustrating to say the least! I am so sorry you are going through it too :( Hang in there my friend.

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • Thanks for hosting, Karin! And thank you so much for the feature as well! It's such an honor to be featured! And I agree, you need one of these! I can't wait to see your own special touch to this fun wreath!!

    • Julie I love love your tire wreath! So creative and fun! You always come up with the cutest ideas!

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • These are great features for this week, Karin. Can't wait to check them out.
    Your cushions look wonderful. Bending over the machine may have brought on the back pain. I hope you feel better real soon.

    • Hi Rachelle! They really are such creative features aren't they! Thank you for the sweet compliment on my cushions :) I hope my back calms down soon too...an you are probably right about the sewing causing the back pain :(

      Hugs,
      Karin

      • Thanks Karin and I am thrilled I've inspired you to try watercolor! I hope you do, it's so much fun, thank you for featuring my painting! I am loving all the Springy post right now, so much inspiration...Your daughter's nursery is over the moon cute! I hope your back feels better soon, take care...
