Here I sit, on my bed, fresh off an afternoon of shopping with birthday money, looking forward to a fun evening of gallivanting around the northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis with friends.
Our first stop? A place that dubs itself a “country club on crack” including a ferris wheel known as “The Danger”. Good times will be had.
All of this carefree-ness is giving me a fresh whiff of inspiration. I haven’t tackled a crafty project in awhile, shame on me for having a creative blog. I’ve spotted a few projects I would like to put my own spin on that I wanted to share with you (these posts used to be known as “I actually want to make this“).
For my birthday this year, my husband got me a nice record player so that I could do justice to the record collection that I had. I bought one of those bookshelves with the canvas storage boxes that you see in EVERY HOUSE to store my records and set the player on top of. I wish I had stumbled upon this tutorial beforehand because this is a million times more creative.
Our front door has been lacking for some time now. We repainted the door, the post, and the trim, but something is still missing. I love how this frame is traditional enough to appeal to everyone (you don’t want your front door to give off the “weirdo” vibe) yet unique enough to be eye-catching. This might be at the top of my DIY to-do list!
So, Bean already told me she wanted to be a skeleton for Halloween this year (gotta love that kiddo) but if I had total say over it, she would most DEFINITELY be a Rockford Peach. A League of Their Own has always been one of my all-time favorite movies, so when I stumbled across this tutorial for a girl’s Rockford Peach costume I almost died.
My sister is due mid-December, but they aren’t finding out what they’re having and it’s killing me! I can’t wait to make a bunch of cute crochet baby hats for her. This cupcake hat is at the top of my list.
The desk lamp that I originally made is getting a little boring, and I have been stalking marquee light tutorials for literally 2 years. This marquee light tutorial seems totally do-able, plus you could do whatever word you want. I see a lit-up “RAD” in my future.
