a litte nesting to do

I have about a million projects/crafts started in and about my home.....and none to show you because they are far from being finished. Well, either that or they need a bit more love {aka tweaking} before they make it on here for their debut party. What I have noticed though is that I am completely drawn to DIY necklaces.

And these little necklaces are so sweet and endearing.

I am head over heels for these little nests. Imagine doing these little nests in the birthstones of your babies. And look! She made a single pearl one for my little man already! I think Miss Sarah has a way of inspiring...all I need is some wire and I can do this.

Yes, I will most likely shamelessly copy this idea. It is just too sweet to not at least try. More importantly maybe I can peer pressure you into trying them too so I won't been alone in being shameless. Who is with me?

Time to take the baked dough (oh..I mean cookies) out of the oven. Thurgood and I have a small addiction to Sunday night baking.

oooh the places you will go

There is something about maps. I find them fascinating and inspiring. And now..I am all about repurposing them. Just take a glimpse at all the cute things you can do with maps.

You can bet your bottom dollar I will be doing this! You know me and how much I adore "prettifying" {yes...I am creating new words too} lamp shades.

Oh...how this mobile would be lovely in an office or playroom

Who needs GPS when you have this as your clutch?

I love garlands...and this is beyond cute.

And of course the whole repurposing of maps with the 3 hearts of: where we met, married, and honeymooned is simply wonderful. If the nest was still around this would be THE thing to make. I guarantee it. :)

So I think I am going to see if I can spy a few old maps to repurpose...on to the hunt. Do you have anything you are keeping an eye out for?

avoiding dr. bizer blues

Over the past 3 weeks I have been coming to terms with the idea that my eyes are getting tired or maybe..just maybe, I need glasses.

I doubt I would need them for anything more than reading and blogging..but still there are those oh so important aspects in pharmacy of making sure the prescription is correct.

So...if I have to get glasses....I plan to make a stylish statement. Afterall, I think style can be defined by 4 distinct pieces: {1} your purse {2) your shoes {3} your coat & {4} your glasses

I have the 1st three down to a tee {now if only I could figure out how to take a snapshot of myself}. As for the 4th aspect....look at these:

I am going for something a little less Bizer and a tad more Fabulous. Come sneak a peek here. This little shoppe makes me want a pair or two...or even my own collection {ohhh now that is a scary thought}.

Cheers~
