I've been thinking Google is excellent at coming up with a photo for any subject, but I'm thinking not that "excellent" TG, did you run out and have that taken?? :goodjob:

I just so admire that creative design some folks like you have Gael:) Your place is just lovely, I mean elegant! I can see why you liked the Pinterest one, it is just what you would create yourself!! I have one friend out in the country near where I was born, and she has neat taste, not as elegant as yours, but I love to go out there, and I can just sit and look around the whole time. I think I spot something every time I'm there, that I didn't see last time:)

You're such a nice person to freely compliment others as you do, Lady.

Well, I am a designer/artist but truly everyone has their own approach and I've always thought that you could take any space and make it special according to your own tastes.
Ours is a very small home but at this point in time, it's easier for me to maintain so I'm happy enough with it.
 
Yes I definitely can see the creative in you Gael. I don't know if everyone has that knack though, I know some folks can look at an empty room and know just how to get the best out of it, I really am not gifted like that. I can try to copy someone, that's about it, LOL! Today I am passing fliers out in my neighborhood, to do pet-sitting. I am good at that because I am just nuts about animals. I love spending time with them, and especially going for walks, so we'll see if I get some bites:) I haven't heard from the job down South, but will call a little later and check on it. Talk about needing some creative design, that house they have for the assistant manager to live in REALLY needs work, lol! To be honest, I would like to stay right where I am so I have been pushing hard to find and apply for more jobs in this area. We'll see;)

Have a great evening Gael, and always happy to get to see more of your creations;) Denise

My contention is that everyone is creative in some fashion. Now there you are doing pet sitting and doing your own promotion as well. That's creative entrepenurialism.

I actually "made" something, lol! I made fliers, then I took a bunch of zippies (we've had so much rain) and folded the fliers so the Title/Subject & and a little clipart of a kitty and dog showed nicely. Then I hole-punched the bag, and used some of my rubber-band ball to make a loop that should hook on something. Well, heck, I can show you a pick;) The scratches are on the black tv tray underneath so the bags are new, actually look neat:)

That's an excellent design and idea, Lady. I rest my case about your abilities.

Great minds think alike Phants, i was just wondering if they had the old swan made from tyres over there in America

They spell it "tires". :loyal:

But many a time I've seen napkins made into swans in the us as well as leftovers from a restaurant made into foil swans.

thanks Gael, I have about 60 more to put together (60 houses left in the area) and get them out today. I talked to a lady that is a good friend of my sisters. She lives over on the coast and does pet-sitting. After talking to her though, I see she is not trying to make it a biz. She just wanted extra things to do once or twice a month. I asked her if she felt she could have easily picked up more work, and she thought she could have. I'm hoping. I don't need a whole lot of extra cash to go with my retirement (but that's not coming til December) but there are some health issues that would make it hard for me to do full-blast work (40 hour week 8-5 etc) so this pet-sitting could be for me;)

Thanks again Gael, it was just kind of a simple thing, but it felt good to "create" even that, LOL!!

It's a great job. I used pet sitters in the US when I had a little Shih-Tzu and couldn't bear to leave him even for a night out. Most normal people wouldn't go that far,:wiggle: but I was ridiculous with him.


But good luck with your endeavor, I'm sure it will be a success and you're approaching it creatively and with enthusiasm. A winning combo.

Those look perfect, so cute too! Wish you were in my neighborhood! :love_heart:
 
This thread is a blast, going in all different directions. I must try painting old tires, those are easy to find. I never throw away an old boat, tire rims or big brake drums, 'cept I mostly grow food in them.
And, Oh My Gosh gayle! I love your kitchen, would you please come girly up my floathouse?
