A little DIY

As you may remember, I'm working on finding pieces for our new home to make it feel like our own, in particular our bedroom. I've been making some new art pieces to go in there (don't you get sick of looking at the same stuff on your walls for years too?) and I've been exploring online for new fun ideas. I stumbled across these beautiful giant cross stitches by Jessica Decker. SO AMAZING right? I'm feeling very motivated to take a stab at making one of my own, wish me luck!

A piece I just made that I'm excited to share with you is this little guy

I found some really pretty paper the other day with a bunch of vintage steel pens on it and bought it on a whim because I figured I could do something with it. A piece of wood, some puzzle skills, and a little modge podge later here we are. It's really simple but I think it has a subtle romance to it which I really enjoy.

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!

Home Alone.

Ahhh yes the house to myself. Furry friends are sleeping, rain is pitter pattering, I'm wrapped in a nice cozy blanket. Oh and I'm super bored. Solitude is nice after a long day but come on, it's the weekend, give me a little excitement! Lucky for me I am easily entertained. I settled in to read a blog or two and I stumbled upon The Paper Mama's post of testing out hair colors (original credit though goes to Moorea Seal , another awesome blog). I figured it had the potential for a lot of excitement and I was right. I love every color. AND I am so not afraid of grey hairs anymore. Fancy that.

Anyway while I've been sitting here browsing the web I also found the first addition to our bedroom decor...

Bold lines, soft colors (and purple). Perfect! We have a queen sized bed which normally would have been $79 but we got it for $29! That's 50 dollars off!

Happy weekend!
