Thoughts?

Still on the hunt for a chair. What do we think about this? Not very "mod," but clean lines & seemingly lovely. Check in out in the latest issue of Rue - more photos online. It looks pretty amazing. Kinda girlie, but maybe I need to "chick" my place up now that it is mine?
I am sure my roommate won't mind - right BK?

Night Time Crafting

I am trying to be better about "projects." As in, I have so very many in my mind to take on, but I just haven't been taking the time to see them through. Sigh.

Well, I finally did tackle one - an easy one - but I actually finished it, so there. After work last Thursday, I took about 10 minutes to give this project a whirl. I had the perfect place too - I needed something to replace the spot where an old engagement photo used to hang. I had some leftover chalkboard paint from another project and an extra clipboard. A little masking tape and voila! So very very easy.

Chalkboard spray paint, a clipboard, and a headlamp - a much needed "crafting supply" for projects in the dark.

I didn't take any "during" shots as they were boring & it was dark. So, here is the final project! Recognize the quote? I printed it out. I love that I can erase this and write fun new things on here. And, I can clip whatever I want. Sort of a mixed media type of chalkboard?

From this to this...in its new home. Above the bookshelf. I want to change all of this around, but it works for the time being. Boom - 10 minutes (not including dry time) and one craft project down. Now what?

Bag It?

I just got this. On the fence about it though. I got it because it has three different straps - one for holding it with your hand, a shoulder strap, and and a strap to wear it messenger style. It is big.
Maybe too bland? Meh?

Yeppers

This makes me happy on a Monday.
And coffee - lots of it.
But really, I wouldn't get through the day without this kind of goodness.

This weekend....

...I have a goal to actually try and use all the crazy kitchen tools. 

This weekend - I WILL...

make bread  (a yummy sugar free bread with banana and whole wheat)

make juice (carrot ginger!  grapefruit!) 

 make pasta (maybe even ravioli...)

make this...

I made this last night for dinner - Hummus Vegetable Pizza - sounds strange but very good.  I would recommend to make it with a whole wheat crust and bring for lunch.  Easy and Yummy.
