A few new things...

I made a couple more necklaces last night. I finished up another of the same kind I've made before only its smaller & with a ribbon instead of a chain. Then I decided to try a button necklace in Valentine Colors. I think it turned out fun. I also got a cute vintage artwork. Click on all the pics for a larger view.

I like this one better...

Liz and I made necklaces again tonight. I think I'm getting the hang of it now... I think this one turned out better. I love Apple Green. I also had to throw in some cutie pie picks of Miss Carlyle. Now on to making different styles...

I Made A Necklace!

Those of you who know me know I'm not really a crafty person. Well I saw this necklace tutorial on the Little Miss Momma blog and wanted to try and make it. Some friends and I decided to have a craft day yesterday. It was really fun. It took us forever to make them but it was our first time. I think they turned out pretty cute. Not exactly the same as Ashley's but still cute and a lot cheaper than if we were to buy one. Click HERE to go to the tutorial.

One more post...

Okay- I promise this is the last bedroom post. I added two more things I thought I'd show you. I've been wanting to cover some 12X12 canvases that I've had for awhile. Today I bought some inexpensive, graphic yellow fabric and finally did it. I put it above the bed. I think I like it. It was very inexpensive and super easy to do. John also accidentally broke our red IKEA Snille desk chair top, so I replaced it with a white top that was like 6 dollars! Score! Sorry if you're sick of seeing our bedroom! Here are a few iPhone pics...

Random House Shots...

Today was very productive! I went to the gym, did laundry, vacuumed the whole apt, and then I decided I wanted to paint some mirror frames from IKEA that used to be Black to Green. I like them a lot better! Green is happier than Black! It was a free and easy project. We got these Cinnamon Pinecones from Albertsons and they make our whole place smell sooo good. I put them in a White dish and inside that Pumpkin bowl I got. I love coming home and having that wonderful smell fill the air! Of course I threw in some shots of the little stinker cause she's my little shadow.

New Green mirror frames I painted this morning.

These are some London Phone booth Salt & Pepper shakers we got while there.

Canvas Makeover and Carlyle.

Remember when I made that circle canvas painting? Well I liked it enough, but I hated how it had a White background against our White walls. So one night I just decided to paint over it Yellow and then add some White circles to it. I like it better this way against the White walls. Oh and I found Carlyle a new polka dot collar for a dollar... It's so cute on her.

New painting + lamp

John got me this blank white canvas for Christmas and I've been putting off painting on it because I didn't know what to do with it. I am so not an artist, and was afraid of screwing it up. You really only get one shot at painting it. Tonight I just decided to go for it. I got out my paint and decided to make something simple and abstract. I decided to try and match the colors I have in my apt. and do some circles. I think it turned it okay. I didn't get the green exactly like I wanted, and it sort of looks like a 5th grade art class project, but I'm okay with that. : ) I'm glad I attempted it and I had fun at the same time! I also recently got this lamp that I've been wanting. It's fillable, which is my favorite part. Right now I have some decorative faux lemons in it, but I may change it out to something else or add more to it later on. I love playing around with decorating!
