Pinterest Picks

Happy Weekend! That's right, I'm starting my weekend now and giving myself a day off. Well, mostly. It's hard to stay completely away, but I'm getting that overwhelmed feeling again and I just need to step back. I suspect it's time to reevaluate how I run things, because the status quo is obviously not working anymore. I don't know why I thought my life wouldn't change as school progressed, but I did. That's my own fault.

Anyway! I'm not here to be a Debbie Downer. I'm here with Pinterest picks to end the week on a high note.

This is a brilliant way to spice up an otherwise plain chest of drawers: textured wallpaper. (This would be cute on the backs of shelves, too.)


I want this couch! Exactly this! When we were initially shopping for one before the move, I had something like this floating around in my brain, but did we find one like it? Of course not. Nice to meet you, couch. Good to know you exist:


This is a great reminder of why Shel Silverstein is one of my all-time favorite people:


Yes, yes, these are earrings from my own shop. I had to post them for a couple of reasons: one, I haven't given you an update for a while, so I thought I would tell you there are a few new things over there. And two, Marilyn is my brain twin and has something nearly identical hanging out in Pulp Sushi. Clearly, we were meant to be friends:


I love lasagna and I love zucchini. Put them together and there will be singing angels and glowing sunlight. Get in my belly:


So what's up for this weekend? Anybody have big plans? We're seeing the nephew again before he goes back to California (my little squish isn't so little anymore--waah!) and doing some more work in the basement. Maybe I should do a post about that? I kind of want to wait until everything is done and then knock your socks off all at once. Thoughts?

  2. That lasagna looks divine :) Cute earrings! You know how much I love roses!
    I was thinking of doing a before/after series of my studio renovation. I like seeing the process involved in renovating. You might want to do that too!

    No big plans around here this weekend. It was a busy week, so staying home sounds pretty great :)

  6. taking a step back is always good! I've been sort of doing that this week. Well..lets face it not really. I've been in a creative block and I can't seem to think of new ideas even though I just got my supplies in yesterday. I think I'll blame it on the freak warm weather we got this week. It's suppose to cool down and hopefully my brain will cool down too.

    I have no big plans but I might force myself to do some more sewing. I can't really leave my new supplies alone that long..seriously.

    Hope you have a relaxing weekend!

  7. That couch!!!!

    No big plans here either for the weekend, but that's ok. It will probably just be a catch-up weekend.

  8. We have a big ugly ceiling we need to repair in our living room, and we've really considered using that textured wallpaper to just cover it up - paint it white, call it a day. I love the way it looks on drawers too, and I love the couch!

    Have a great weekend lady, hope the weather is gorgeous your way.
