let's go.

diy: skirt into a dress

2012-02-22T15:58:00.000-05:00

i found this great tutorial on the good life blog and had to share! she turned a skirt into a dress, and it looks fantastic! it's so adorable and saves from that slightly awkward this is a skirt but it kind of looks okay belted as a strapless dress look. granted, that look is still good, but this one is even better!

oh, i'm in love

2012-02-21T02:43:00.000-05:00

as i attempt to put the winter behind me, i've started looking at swim suits. and this one is fantastic. so gorgeous!

are you ready for summer?

let it snow

2012-02-20T16:56:00.000-05:00

it started snowing yesterday around two-ish. i hate snow. i dislike how cold and wet it is and how it throws everyone into a panic and makes everyone instantly not know how to drive. and why do people always go to the store for milk? if the power goes out, YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MILK. it makes no sense to me.

BUT, today i decided to make snowmen. completely off the wall decision for me, because usually the only reason i go outside when it snows is to go next door. snow days are my eat-the-neighbors'-food days. granted, my neighbors are my family, but still. i had the most delicious vegetable soup today at my great aunt's. and then i washed my grandma's dog, then came home and made snowmen.

and here are my masterpieces:

yeah? i like them. my little ice family.

hello all

2012-02-16T01:26:00.000-05:00

wow. it's been half a month. i've really been out in left field.

i've had a lot on my plate this february, and i'm afraid blogging has taken a hit.

and even as i type this i have absolutely nothing to say.

perhaps i'll have more tomorrow.

diy: arrow decor

2012-01-18T16:02:00.000-05:00

i love this! i want to make more decor for my own house, and this would definitely work in several of my rooms since it's so easy to change up the colors.

circus!

2012-01-18T11:15:00.000-05:00

these photos from the 40s and 50s circuses are so pretty. i wish circus performers still dressed this elaborately. skintight, see-through outfits have nothing on these!

diy: valentine's day decor

2012-01-15T20:02:00.000-05:00

oh my. i've been really slacking on my updates. i'll be back tonight with a Christmas update. i hope, haha. i've been working and spending time with tyler before he leaves, so my blog posts have suffered. sorry!

but anyway.

i am in love with this wallpaper! it's gorgeous. i'd love to wallpaper a room in my house in this. or just a bulletin board since i'm pretty low in the funds department...

these adorable ornaments from how about orange are a great diy for the holidays! you could top gifts with these or give them to the kids (with glue instead of a needle and thread) for a time waster.

ain't as sweet

2011-12-12T11:00:00.000-05:00

The saddest thing I ever did see
Was a woodpecker peckin’ at a plastic tree.
He looks at me, and “Friend,” says he,
“Things ain’t as sweet as they used to be.”

-'Peckin' by Shel Silverstein

the holiday spirit is upon us

2011-12-11T20:48:00.000-05:00

2011-11-28T14:27:00.000-05:00

this scarf would be fantastic for a sports fan. navy and grey for yankees fans? eh?

represent

2011-11-27T22:55:00.000-05:00

i'm from the great little state of virginia. we have the wackiest laws and some of the dumbest people. and we're known for how many presidents we've produced. woo. but i'm still from here, and i like to represent.

this pillow is adorable.

this would be a great gift for someone who calls richmond home but doesn't live there!

how cute is this pillow?

oh my

2011-11-21T22:01:00.002-05:00

super grandma!

2011-11-16T12:57:00.000-05:00

this collection of photography is absolutely genius. i know so many grandmas who fit the role of superhero (including my own)!

spiders, oh my!

2011-11-16T12:49:00.000-05:00

i don't kill spiders. i don't kill any bugs, really. i don't think they deserve to die for being what they are. so this morning, when i was snuggled up in tyler's incredibly warm bed after he'd gone to work, (several hours prior, mind you) it didn't alarm me to look over and see a rather large black spider on the wall by the bed. i let the spider be, and texted tyler about how the spider and i were chilling. this is how the conversation went, via text.

tyler: "and i assume you let it live"

me: "of course, he was nice and has a family"

tyler: "mmm id prefer him and his family to not live in my house"

me: "the cold winter months have approached, tyler"

tyler: "yes im aware of this haha"

me: "then you should have sympathy!"

tyler: "mmm i think maybe not"

me: "he was harmless!"

tyler: "yeah i still dont like it. i wouldnt have killed him just put him outside"

me: "alright. well you can separate him from his family when you get home. i'm sending him brain waves to take his family and run"

tyler: "haha ok babe"

only he would put up with my shenanigans.
