To new homes

All these lovelies are off to new homes today!

In case you need a little “awww” in your day

I just love kittens. I feel better when I see them. They make me laugh and smile. Here are some pretty adorable kittens in black and white from Etsy:

Pinterest Test: Chalkboard Paint

I’ve seen the trend and I want to hop on board! Chalkboards are everywhere these days, from wine glasses to walls to jewelry, it seems to be awesome! I hear that chalkboard paint is fairly expensive, so I finally decided to try and make my own. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Here’s the pin for the “recipe”: DIY chalkboard paint.

Story behind: Reach For The Sky

I actually took this photograph in a parking lot. A PARKING LOT. I was walking back to my car and the sun looked like it was playing in the tree branches, and I just had to take a picture. I’m sure I looked ridiculous as I stood beneath the tree for some time, snapping photos, and moving to different angles. I really like trees, and taking pictures of them at weird angles. So, Reach For the Sky!

Pinterest Inspiration – Art Room

I’m moving this week! My husband and I are going from a one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom apartment, which means…I get an art room! I’m very excited to have a space to make beautiful and create in every day. Here are some of my “inspiration” ideas, as I ponder how to arrange my new creative space:

         

 Style Line.                                                     Thread Display.

        

Peg Board.                                               Mason Jars.
