A little breather...

Hi guys!

I know that I haven't been around much lately, but life is just a bit out of control right now. Not literally, I am working on making it ''in control'' but nonetheless its pretty crazy. 

I have felt this pressure to be posting more, and then guilt for not posting more...and then I think about how long its been since I've done a decent post and its clouding my mind a little bit. 

I started this blog as an outlet, as most of us do, and right now I have lots of outlets....things things that are requiring a bit more of my attention lately and a few priorities that I need to straighten out. 

So here I am letting you know that I need a breather. No, I'm not breaking up with you..I just need some space. Its not you..its me. 

Okay, those are all the cliches that I can think of right now.

I will be back soon - feeling refreshed with lots of great ideas and things to share with you. I hope you'll all still be here when I get back!

I am absolutely dying to take my Holga outside! All the gorgeous flowers blooming and sunshine raining down on our beautiful city...maybe this weekend?!!!!?

It's Springtime!

Spring is finally here!

And thats pretty okay with me.

Spring is for...

Sunshine

Little dresses

Yummy fruit

Puppy walks

Tennis matches

Pony tails

 Bright flowers

Does it get any better than that??

We've got a vacation coming up in less than 3 weeks!

DIY: Fabric Wrapped Mat

I've had this extremely uninspiring frame in my bathroom for 3 years (man...that's a long time) and thought it might be time for a face lift. I'm sure that you all have random frames sitting around your house too so grab a few and lets do this together!

Here's what you'll need:

1 frame with mat

1 bottle of Mod Podge

1 paint brush (I prefer sponge)

1 pair of scissors
fabric

Here's how to do it:

Step 1 Lay your mat out on your fabric. If you're using a plaid like me, or stripes, make sure that your mat is straight.

Step 2 Cut around your mat. Make sure to leave about an inch extra to wrap. Cut inside the mat, as well.

Step 3 In order to wrap your fabric you'll need to cut slits into each corner inside the mat. 

Step 4 Glue your fabric, starting from the inside, to the mat. Try to keep it as straight as possible. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't look pretty yet - remember that you wont see this part once its back in the frame.

Step 5 Continue wrapping and gluing until it is complete. To finish the corners you'll have to wrap it like a present. Cut off any extra fabric that hangs off the edge. 

Step 6 Print out something encouraging and hang your new frame!

Sunday Loafing

This shop definitely has more than just mugs and glasses - but you know how much I love them! Go over to see Housing Authority and check out all of their housewares...they have sofas, lamps, bowls, chairs, candlesticks, pots and pretty much anything else you want to put in your house. 

I hope you guys are having the best weekend - Mine has been a perfect combination of super productive and relaxing.

Happy Sunday!
