The Obsessed Pinner

That's right I gave in. I now have a pinterest. I become obsessed which is why my blog posts stopped for a long time haha. I have a love hate relationship with that website. It makes me feel crafty and creative and cute. Unfortunately it is impossible to do every little DIY project that I found and loved. My husband has insisted that I finish at least 3 of my started projects this week so here is to being productive! 

I went and got some cute old frames from the thrift store. I have already sanded them and all they need is a fresh coat of paint and they can go on the wall in Coen's room!!!

I also bought some huge, old sweaters that I am making...PILLOWS out of! How cute is that?! I have planned them out and now I just need to finish sewing them. I can't wait to be able to post pictures!

Inspiration:

Next I have a huge men's shirt that I purchased to make a dress out of. This has been the source of a lot of frustration. I had this wonderful idea in my head and it turned out to be a lot more difficult than my tiny sewing skills could handle. Luckily I have an amazing mother who is magnificent at sewing. Hopefully with her help I will be able to get this last project on track. 

Inspiration:

My goal is to have all of these completed by Saturday with pictures of my own!

The Return of the Ugly Decade

Dear Fashion Designers,

The 70's were in my opinion, the WORST time for fashion. I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to bring it back. I will be boycotting buying new clothing in the mean time.

Love,

The Cutest Baby Alive

I am sure that some might argue that I have a bias opinion on the matter but I don't. My baby is the cutest baby ever. He is perfect and adorable and my world revolves around him. Here are some pictures to prove it.

The Buddha Belly

Having a baby has ruined my body. I have become fed up with the Buddha belly and I am going to do something about it! Now normally my motivations stops the day after a hard work out. I am the queen of excuses for not working out. This time I am determined to get a good work out in at least 4 times a week. Today I walked 3 miles and I plan on starting to add some jogging to that when I get some new running shoes this week. So hopefully I will be able to get in good enough shape to do Ragnar next year!

The Work in Progress

As before mentioned, we are in the progress of making the basement feel more like home. I was so excited to have walls that weren't what I like to call "Apartment White." Most of the walls are "grey." This needs quotation marks because we accidentally picked a color that turned out looking blue (oops!) Because that color is so pale, we wanted to have a bold wall.

We went with Mélange Green. It looks a lot brighter on the wall.

I even found a cool frame to put on the wall at Ikea! I am excited to see how it all looks when its done!

The Other State

Curtis, Coen, Lila and I made the trip to Colorado two months ago. That's right. We moved! I am missing my good friends and my babies (Rylee and Avaree) but it has been a good thing for us. My mom painted the basement and I am excited to get to do some decorating and make it feel like home. Coen's nursery is a little plain right now and I want to liven it up so badly! I just need to pick a paint color for the walls and possibly a theme. I'll post pictures as I get ideas. If anybody has suggestions let me know!

The Blog Slacker

I realized today that I have not been online to update this blog in OVER A YEAR!
At this point, the people who read said blog either think I am dead, or know I am busy and scatter brained. So to update you all, I had a....BABY!!!! He is cute and perfect and 4 months old. Really almost 5 months but I am trying to force him to stay my baby and stop getting bigger all the time. I will have to post some pictures. His name is Coen and I LOVE HIM!
