French Barometer

So...I LOVE french baramoters
but I can not afford one right now...

so what's a girl to do?...
get creative, of course!

I found this barometer (in french) on ebay.
I'm not sure if it works, lol, but that's ok.

I hung onto it while I searched for something I liked to put it in, 
finally I found this clock -on ebay as well.


It had paint splatted on it and a lot of the gold had
been rubbed off over time, so I added a little more gold
-using this cool stuff:


Next, I popped out the barometer piece from it's wooden frame,
and removed the clock from it's "frame".

...and then married the two together!
 Here we are:
My version of a barometer

Hopefully it will hold me over until I can get a real one :0)
I'm happy with how it came out and it only costed around
$25.oo!


Me and baby have made it to 32 weeks today!
I still can't believe it. We are excited and I am also nervous about
the whole delivery part! LOL -I know it will be fine-bc it has to be,
but I am still nervous. :0)
