If Life Gives You Lemons

We have a bit of a "life giving us lemons" scenario going on.
Pop up a prayer for my family, if you would.


I showed you my sprinkling of lemons a few weeks ago.
I've loved the pop of yellow these add to our summer home.



I have a collection of adorable vintage beaded fruit.


Let's play "what's missing?".


I needed to have a beaded lemon in my life.
Needed! 
Not to mention, I was sick with a weird bug and stuck on the couch.
I made the little beaded strawberry in the above photos, so I knew what to do.
I collected my supplies.


I assembled my faux fruit of choice, beads in the appropriate color and yellow iridescent sequins.
Beading pins are similar to straight pins but they are a little shorter in length.
You can find them in the beading aisle at the craft store.


Pick up a pin, put on a bead and then put on a sequin.


Stick into the lemon.


I watched crime shows and rested on the couch.



Update: I decided I wanted more of the sequin to show, so I went and got larger sequins to put on each pin.


Either way was fine but this looks a little more vintage.


 Sometimes you just cannot make lemonade out of lemons.
As I was writing my other lemony post, phrases flitted through my head concerning our current lemon situation.


 If life gives you lemons - kick them to the curb.



If life gives you lemons - beat them to a pulp.


If life gives you lemons - squeeze the heck out of them.



If life give you lemons - grate the rind off of them.


If life gives you lemons - stick them with a pin. 
If life gives you lemons - drop to your knees and pray.
