another (window) opens.
i'm no dummy; i'm what some might refer to as an opportunist. and THIS opportunist decided to see about getting her hands on some old windows that had been lying around one of the barns out at my parents' house. my mom brought over several different styles (so don't be surprised to see some upcoming projects with the other specimens). i'm pleased to introduce this little piece that's currently gracing one of the walls of my dining room. i needed a creative way to display the picture in the middle (one of my mom and me when i was a baby; mom included it with my christmas gifts this year. she appreciates my sappy sentimental side!) i have a few other ideas of adornments for the old window frame, but i'm liking where this is headed.
a bug & a wish.
winter is really starting to BUG me.
i WISH it would get warmer so that i can move forward with my dining room table/chairs re-do. temperatures hovering in the high 20's/low 30's are not conducive to outdoor painting.
i am currently battling an obsession with the avett brothers.
it would be a close call, but i do believe their "emotionalism" album is my favorite. john likes to joke that i take approximately 8
months to listen to and begin to like any of the bands/musicians he
recommends. it's basically true. he told me a long, long time ago to
check out the avett brothers. i'm just getting around to it. (i am a creature of habit. and also there were some bar exams.)
check out http://www.oneshetwoshe.com for the petite felt flower clip tutorial. as you may have discovered, i've been all about felt & flowers lately. i made a pin rather than a clip, and after it was finished, i remembered that it would be perfect on this lonely cloche hat forgotten in the deepest recesses of my closet.
i have to say that while my little flower pin is apparently not photogenic, it looks adorable in person.
thanks to julie for the tutorial!
after a weekend of re-discovering an old affinity for blue moon (with requisite orange slices!), i suggest you locate some avett brothers, stock up on the aforementioned brew and soothe your broken hearts over the usa v. canada hockey game.
