warm weather

We had a great, HOT weekend here in Atlanta. I finally went to the Decatur Arts Festival, and I also took G to the park. He swung for the first time and loved it.

After this weekend, and the intense heat, I'm really wanting to find some cute sandals so I'm not always wearing my old Teva flip flops. Another way to work on my goal, and step up the wardrobe. Just have to find the right ones to save for...and these sandals might be in the running. So cute and summery. I wish they weren't quite as expensive, but they'll definitely go on my wishlist.

Peony from NC.

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe memorial day weekend! and honor our fallen soldiers.

We'll be going to the Decatur Arts Festival this weekend, watching some baseball, and meeting up with a few friends from work.

Happy weekend!

scrabble magnets

I'm always loving a good magnet for the refrigerator, and these scrabble tile magnets are perfect (since scrabble used to be a huge part of my adolescent years). I actually remember my first seven letter word - Tabasco. Now though, so many years later, I don't think it was a valid word since it's a proper name. Maybe my dad was being nice...

I digress. Back to the magnets...

Simple and sweet. Now I just need to go searching for an old scrabble set.

memory game

I used to love playing memory as a kid, and I always felt so lucky when the memory game popped up in Mario (it always seemed like the other player got it every time).

Anyways, I've seen a lot of memory games around pinterest, which I hope to make for G one day, but there's something about anything miniature that gets me every time. and this is one cute miniature memory set. Inexpensive and easy to make - that's my kind of project. Head over to Dandee for instructions and photos so you can make your very own set.

The mini set might have to wait until G's old enough to understand that everything doesn't have to go in the mouth.

my quilt

On Saturday, I was able to work on my quilt that I started, oh, three years ago. It's still a work in progress, but this weekend I was able to finish my squares, clean/cut them, and start sewing them together. There are 16 squares all together. Here you can see two rows that I need to sew together. Hopefully the next time I'm in NC, I'll get another lesson. and hopefully it won't be another 3 years.

i love this mobile

Whew. What a weekend.

G had an upset tummy towards the end of last week and then we went to North Carolina to visit family. Every time we go, I am reminded of why I love NC so much. It's just beautiful and so much more relaxed than Atlanta. Ever since leaving Appalachian State University, a part of my heart will always be in NC.

It's Monday, the beginning of the work week, and I have a post late for you guys. I saw this mobile on pinterest and wanted to share.

I love the colors and circles. I want to try and make a similar mobile for one of the three babies due in December.

Hope you all had a great weekend, and here's to a good week!

backyard scrabble

I grew up playing scrabble almost every weekend with my dad. This outdoor scrabble board would be so cool. When we own a house, I'd really love to try and make one for ourselves.

One can dream, right?

fringe garland

I know I know...you're thinking, how many garlands is this lady going to blog about? I just can't resist. I love garlands. They make me happy. Plus, I'm storing all these ideas away for later use - since I recently found out that 3 of my friends are all expecting their first baby in December ( I hope I hope I hope that at least one will be a little girl).

This garland just looks so fun and would have been perfect for cinco de mayo.

oh, crewcuts...

I used to always be a watch wearer. ALWAYS. That is until my swiss army watch broke. That was 5 years ago. and I haven't worn one since.

I kind of miss it, and have recently been looking for a replacement. I've had my eye on a few, and even came close to buying this colorful watch from paper source, but never pulled the trigger.

This watch popped up over on pinterest and I think I've found my watch. I'm kind of intimiated by the neon coral so I might get moss. What do you think? Bright or Dark?

vellum mobiles

Color color everywhere! I'm totally in love with these colorful mobiles. and they are so easy to make!

I think a few of these would look perfect in a little girl's nursery. It's a good thing I have three friends that are expecting. At least one should be a girl, right?

DIY: magnet terrariums

Aren't these so pretty? I'm filing this away for a later project that I can do with G. It seems like a fairly adaptable idea to grow little seedlings.

Read all about this project and how to make some for your own home over at Ruffled. Lovely idea!
