Going to learn how to make this adorable hat this winter.



Love the plaid and stripes combo.

 

Next time I wear a scarf I'm going to tie it like this.

 

Cute, casual and comfortable looking maternity style.  Is it too early to add flat booties to my Christmas list?

 

I'd like to start slowly redoing our bedroom.  I can't stand the bright green and yellow damask pattern we have going on right now.  I thought I wanted to go gray and blue, but this has me second guessing that. I do have a weakness for olive green.  I already own that exact lamp, or pretty close to it.

Love the shape of these bowls.  Makes me want to take another pottery class.

 

Galvanized planter on a wood pedestal.  Like the addition of the candle to the vignette. Also like the way the plant cascades all around the planter.

 

This is my male model cousin turned chef to the rich and famous.  No joke.  I plan to do some tie dying this summer and love how his shirt just has little splotches of color.

 

Like the bedding combo.  I love all white linens but have learned the hard way that they aren't the best choice when you live with a boy and a dog.  Stripes may be the next best thing.

 

Pretty sure I have this sweater (from J.Crew)...the whie "tail" is attached.  Never thought I could wear it with jeans because I thought I'd look like a giant blueberry.  Maybe I was wrong.

 

Love this heights and textures in this flower arrangement.

DIY

 

Love this simple necklace.

 

Think I'm going to make some of these filled with rice to use as hand warmers for all my loves.  I bought everything to do it will last year and never got around to actually doing it.

 

Loved this color combo.  I took a pic of a page in a magazine and the colors didn't turn out very true, but its neon pink and turquoise.

Salt dough letter ornaments.  Saved this to do this year and never got around to it...maybe next year.

 

Love the idea of topping a winter cake with a little bit of greenery.  Sounds like the perf excuse to bake a cake this weekend...

Last One...a Few Randoms for You

 

I'm finally getting signed up for a real pottery class and I plan to make tons of little planter like this one.

 

We have these berries outside my office...I may try to stealthily steal a few to recreate this festive, simple look.

You know how I feel about built ins, especially in dining areas...got to get a place to store all my platters.  Love the glass cabinets on top to show off pretty dished and the way they used storage bins and baskets below to take full advantage of the space.

Pretty much love everything about this little nook.  Wine storage, cookbooks on the counter, basket to corral miscellaneous kitchen supplies.  AND, I kind of love that rope banister up the stairs.

Hello rustic farm house, when can I move in?  Perfection...layout, furniture, styling, everything!

Green velvet bed?  Yes please!

Distressed dresser, colorful lamp, flowers, rustic bowl, vintage painting and little piggy...love it all.

What a nice little office right.  Love the way the art is hung, that chair, the coat rack and the idea of a task lamp, just not necessarily that one.

Gold frames.  I think you could totally DIY these with spray paint and cheap white Ikea frames.

Really love the brass corners on those frames...what a great way to jazz up a cheap, basic frame.

Like the styling on this dresser...sorry its a bit blurry.  Did you notice that frame also has fancy corners?  I also need a bedside catch all bowl.  Maybe that will be my next pottery project.

Also like this styling.  Love a garden stool but not that one in particular.

Randoms

I recently decided I might want a painting of Sadie commissioned...I know, I know, I've turned into one of those crazy people. 

I'm thinking something like this with the gray background, but I want something that will capture her personality.  This dog looks sad to me.

I found a seller on Etsy that will turn a picture into a 8 x 10 painting for about $40...sounds too good to be true, guess we'll see.

I need a meat/cheese/fruit tray like this in my life.

My mom gave me an old emerald ring of hers a while back. I'd like to wear it more, but its pretty dated...mostly because the stones are marquis cut. I'm thinking about getting it reset like this ring...it looks more current, right?

I want to do this to an old wooden paddle my parents have at their lake house.

I think this is a flat bread...it reminds me of a tomato/basil/goat cheese tart Hardee made for me once. I might have to experiment with recreating it with various cheeses and veggies.

Doesn't think look like a yummy summer salad?

Feeling Crafty

 

I like the idea of using rope for tote handles and having the knots on the outside. And of course I love anything striped.

 

Why don't all those places who do paint/drink wine parties every do something like this instead of just pictures of wine bottles, trees, or high heels.  I would totally do this and you could use whatever colors you wanted to match your decor!

Pottery Inspiration

 

Loving all this pottery.  So excited to start my classes!

Utensil crocks

 

Once I start my pottery class I want to learn how to make utensil crocks.  I like that the one above on the right has little handles.

 

I like the glaze on the one below.

Feeling Crafty

I've been saving lots of craft ideas...now I just need time to start one of them!

 

 

I thought this was a cute tote.  I like the folky tomato.  I think I read somewhere that you can buy leather handles on etsy.  Don't they look so much more chic than regular handles?

I have a strange love of all things Elvis.  No wonder this caught my eye.  I might recreate it for the next birthday I celebrate.

 

I just like this for some reason.  Its soothing.  If I can't recreate it I'm sure I can find a high quality image to steal and claim is my own.  Kidding.  I wouldn't really do that.  Seriously.

I'm Going to Be a Potter Like Demi Moore in Ghost.

I hardly even remember what Ghost is about, but I think I've wanted to do pottery on the wheel since I first saw Demi Moore doing it in the movie.  I've been collecting ideas of what all I want to make and hopefully I'll be able to take a class this summer.

 

 

Biscuit bowl.  We'd use this a whole lot.  Alex loves him a morning biscuit and I don't think he' mind me serving sister schuberts in this in the evenings.

 

It this weird?  I liked the planter, too bad some random somebody's dad is also in the pic.  If the owner of the pic ever sees this, sorry for posting a pic of your dad!

 

Love the mug and that little bowl on the right...it would be perf for jewelry!

Playing Catch Up

Hello friends.  I was looking through a few pictures I had saved on my iPad and realized that I had so many saved it must have been a while since I posted, but I didn't think it had been this long...oops.

Let me get you all caught up.

I'm going to take a pottery class this summer and you better believe that each of you will be receiving one of my works of art!  I like these pots.

I was the baby of my friend group until Alex came along, but now that I'm 30 and Alex has a ways to go I can't help but start thinking about 40th birthdays even though I know they are a ways off.  I like this combo.  Stripes, fringe, black, white, and gold.  Sophisticated but also a little bit whimsical.

The top right picture caught my eye.  It looks like a green of some sort and I think it would make a fun centerpiece for a spring party.

Love this idea for displaying pictures and other mementos.

My brother got me this bag for my birthday and I plan to fill it up just like this and go for a picnic as soon as we have another nice day.

I think these would be sweet on the window ledge next to my sink.
