[suhn-burst]
We’re in the midst of a winter weather warning (AGAIN), an unexpected snow storm (AGAIN). Last week it was near 60 degrees then BAM (teaser!) – yesterday afternoon at least 6 inches of snow fell within a few hours. It took Mr. DIY an extra hour and 15 minutes to get home weaving in and out of fender benders, dodging stopped vehicles and sliding around on the icy un-treated roads in the blizzard. All while I waited nervously at home, biting my nails, praying for his safe return dodging a bat flying around my living room (he must of thought it was spring too – where is that darn ground hog? Last week I wanted to hug the little guy, this week … well, no hugs!).
So, I’m in the mood for something warm and DIY sunbursts feel HOT to me. Sunny = smiley. Here are some great ideas and tutorials to help you thaw. Click the links for more pictures, details and the full tutorial from some very talented DIY divas!

Grapevine and stick mirror.
Thanks for featuring me!! Love them all!!
I have loved sunburst mirrors since I was a little girl and my mom had one hanging over our fireplace. How I wish she'd kept it, it could be in my house today!
These are some great ideas, especially loving the sunflower one.
What a fun post. Thank you for the feature!
What a fun post and I followed a couple of the back links back. Don't you love how some of these were used? I can remember these from the FIRST TIME around! They look a little different in today's settings than they did in the 50/60 era. What a fun and WARMLY inviting post! Hugs- Diana
Ohhh I love this collection you've put together! How appropriate!
I love my sunburst mirror, though to be fair it was 100% inspired by Dwellings by Devore. Anyway, here's the link!
