{Mantle Makeover}

Happy New Year friends!!! I am so excited to share this new year with you! I have so many fun ideas and projects to share with you all in the coming months! It's going to be a fun time :)

Fist up...my fresh new mantle makeover!


As soon as Christmas is over, I get bit HARD the the purging and redecorating bug. I crave a clutter free and organized space, but it needs to be homey too. 

My mantle is my favorite thing in our home. I just love everything about it and it's SO fun to decorate!

Here's a close up of all the bits and peices.

 Hoops. You can never go wrong with hoops in my book! Pick out some fun fabrics that make you smile. Seriously, how cute is that little fox??? I have a little bit more of that sweet fabric so you'll be seeing more of it :)
 We are in the process of booking a family shoot to get REAL photos taken, but for now, this is the best picture of us. I found a pretty frame at Home Goods and that AWESOME 3 is from a store at the Orange Circle called Eikon. It's AMAZING. 
 Vintage books. Mason jar, yarn, lace, roses from our yard.  Purdy.
 This frame was a fun little project! We spray painted a cheap frame and glued a few rows of twine to the inside. Mini clothespins will hold a few favorite pics. I want to get a few Instagrams printed for this. SO cute! And the owl is a fun find from Home Goods. Love him!
This is my very favorite wreath EVER. Burlap, lace, fabric scraps, and a few favorite flowers. I love it all. So scrappy and fabulous!


Happy New Year everyone and HAPPY DECORATING!!!

P.S. Stop by tomorrow for the release of my new crochet pattern...the Mug Sweater. They are SO cute!

I made it!

Hi friends! Happy Friday and happy long weekend! My husband is off today so we get four days to play! Whoo hoo! Headed to Disneyland in a bit!

So I have been wanting to make something to house all of my hair accessories and jewelry and pretty things FOREVER and finally did something about it this week! Look at this mess I had going on…eww.

Thanks once again to Pinterest, I found a great tutorial HERE for how to take an old yucky frame and make it into a lovely organizer!

Check it out…

First, I hit up the Goodwill and found this gem.

Sphinx Frame

Apparently this is a painting of Mary and the baby Jesus snoozing the sphinx on their way to Egypt? And the original hangs at Hearst Castle. Thanks to my nerdy husband for Googling that for me…

It was the only frame I could find that had any detail on it. And by the way, my Goodwill is NOT cheap. I paid $6 for that. My sister wants the print though so I guess it’s a cheap gift and crafty project in one! SCORE.

I just followed the tute which was super simple {ok fine my husband attached the chicken wire for me}! And here’s is how it turned out!

I love it! See that pretty tray that has all my headbands? I made that too. It’s a tray made of FABRIC. I have a few tweaks to make before they are ready for the general public but they will be hitting the shop ASAP!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend with time to make something pretty! Have a happy day!
