[ recycling ]

i bought this frame about three years ago with the intent of spray painting it and making it an earring holder. low and behold. three years later:



everything i used in this little rehab was recycled. old frame. old spray paint. old fabric. i'm so excited to hang it up in my new place! three weeks left till the big move!

[ momentum ]

as to not loose steam i am posting one of the projects i worked on this weekend! now i can't take credit for the idea, ( i got the tutorial from design*sponge) but i can say that the steps she provided work beautifully! 



i absolutely love these little paper flowers, and so does everyone i've given one to. warning: this project took so long! i highly recommend hanging them on a clothing line or something similar to cut down on drying time! 

[ september 15 ]


decision made. i'm moving to columbus effective september 15th. i have a place to live. but no job. i have friends there, some i've known for years, and others i can't wait to meet... oh hey lauren lankford! the stress surrounding this move has sucked all the joy out of it. but i am hoping that as time goes, and the move gets closer, that giddy-sick feeling in the pit of my stomach will return. 

my last blog was focused on feeling damaged and crazy. although i want to take those feelings and really learn from them and understand them, they weren't wrong. and i hate that. this guy that i had been seeing was in fact seeing someone else too. "one-woman-man" my ass. turns out my instinct is a lot more perceptive than i give it credit for. on the other hand, my eternal optimism and hope that people aren't ass hats, is starting to harm more than it helps. it's such a conflict! become jaded and hard? or keep this hope, this optimism that there are good people out there?

i'm working on so many things right now. little projects that, well, they make me smile. big projects like this move. and some attention to this blog. i really want to start and daily, or weekly series of blogs that i can share with you all. i'll keep everyone posted.
