Soldier Blue

More backyard circus images to enjoy on a summer day. It has finally rained overnight. My plants were in desperate need of a drink. The above perky puppy reminds me that I found refuge on the couch during the storms...with my big old bulldogs who are as afraid of the thunder and lightening as a toddler. Dr. Dan has to have his sleep so off to quiet them on the couch I dutifully went.

Why can't it storm during the day?

With only a little sleep to go on today I tackled a much over due suitcase project.

Vintage toy soldier and doll wallpaper purchased from Hannah's Treasures.

It matchs up beautifully with a soldier blue suitcase from an estate sale.

Mod podge and a bit of rick rack for trim.

I couldn't wait for it to dry before I added the Irmi horse and vintage buttons.

Not to worry, the brown will fade to a creamy white once it cures. This will become a wonderful place to house my paper crafting supplies. If all else fails I can put my nap mat in it for my couch nights with the dogs?
