Embroidery Thread

Ever since making these necklaces for some friends I’ve been flat-out obsessed with embroidery thread. My only tryst with it in the past was short-lived, in the form of 6th grade bracelet making. In fact, some of the thread I used on my necklaces was from the 6th grade. (No joke. It’s in a box with my name on it.) All of a sudden the possibilities seem limitless.

DIY Fire Extinguisher Vase from Wit & Whistle

 

This past Sunday I went to a bridal shower for a good friend, her mom used to be a florist and blooms were everywhere. As I was leaving they handed me a vase that had been on one of the tables to take home. I never realize just how much I love having fresh flowers in my house until they’re actually there. Then the entire space feels lighter and brighter, and I’m happier.

My vase collection consists mainly of the glass variety, in all shapes and colors. My favorite is a clear short one that says You are my sunshine on the side. I think I paid three dollars for it in college. I love the beauties sitting up top there.

DIY Mania

One of my favorite parts of the design blogging community is the rampant creativity that gets shared. A lot of this shines through in do-it-yourself projects that people take the time to figure out, organize, and explain. And lately? Just wow. The past week alone has been a minefield of amazing ideas that I can’t wait to bring into my own home and wardrobe.
