Pet Portrait Art

Here are the instructions from the blog TheCreativityExchange.

eegads, this is amazing. I need to make one of these of my little guy. 

Say Something Tee

Keep in mind, that perfection is not something I will ever or look to achieve.  With that said, here is how my "Orange in the new Orange" tee turned out. In honor of the new Netflix show, "Orange is the new black". An easy way to make your own original tee.

 You can buy stencils or use this fabric spray on stamps, or go the really cheap route like I did and make your own stencil.  I chose a bold font on my computer and cut out the letters.  I bought my fabric paint from Michael's.

"Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid."

I came across this quote from Anne Bronte today and was inspired.

Owl Sweater DIY - Oh. My. Gah!

I really, really want to try this one.  From the blog Trinketsinbloom.

Be Original

I just got back from my first Craft Market.  I learned a lot from the experience, one of the most important lessons is to really research the markets, by attending them first to make sure you're a good fit.  This market wasn't a good fit for me, I'm heading to a couple markets tomorrow to see if they might be a better fit.  I also got some great display ideas.  Today, I needed a little inspirational quote.

10-Minute Pencil Case

I am going to test this out to see if it's accurate, maybe it only takes ten minutes for the person who knows what they're doing, we'll see how long it takes me.  This is from one of my favorite sites, craftster. I'll post my results after.  Feel free to send me your results and how long it took you, I'd love to post them!

How to Tint Mason Jars

I have a cottage-y feeling bungalow.  We like to mix vintage with modern.  These tinted mason jars will be perfect for our farmers market flowers.  Instructions from the blog Momtastic.

Chevron Frame

Just stumbled on this cute blog.  The Chevron design is so popular right now, but why spend lots of dough on it, when you can DIY.  Check out Thriftspirations blog for the instructions.

Everything is Connected

Lace Pots

eegads, this is awesome.  I can't wait to try!

Gifts for the Impossible Friend

Everyone has at least one, that family member or friend who has everything and is impossible to shop for.  Check out my latest Etsy treasury for some suggestions.

Pamper Yourself Organically

I found this little tidbit on Pinterest, where I find most of my DIY ideas :)

I think I'm in need of a massage, I've been googling lots of bath oils and relaxation vacations lately.

Tears of Happiness on a Sunday morning

saw this on CBS Sunday morning today.  Wanted to share some goodness.

What a great Saturday to spoil yourself, Cupcakes for two!

Here's a simple recipe from one of my favorite bloggers.  A recipe for two!  From Paulasplate.net.

Friday Etsy Picks

I just posted a new treasury on Etsy.  I thought maybe I'd share with you some of my favorite artists I've come across lately.

Before... Tips for a thoughtful, happy-filled life

Wooden Chair Update

The chairs around my little kitchen table could use a fresh look, I came across this DIY project in the fun blog The Happy Housie.  I may just have to give this a try.

"Really taste food when you eat and when you sleep, really sleep..."

I am and have always been on the search for great, inspiring quotes.  Hemingway is one of my favorite writers, so it makes sense that this one stood out to me today.  Ever find that when you feel in a bit of a rut, if you keep your eyes and heart open, you will find exactly what you need?  This quote was helpful today.

New Card!

I am so excited, I got my latest card design in the mail this weekend and wanted to share with you.  You can purchase any of my cards from my MegNaude Etsy page.

Pillow Fight Made Easy

What a great idea.  I have some pillows I need to make more current as they are hiding away in a closet right now because they're too lame to put out, after this easy make-over, they'll feel so hip and trendy and I'll finally be able to coax them out.  :)  From the blog The Happy House.

Clutch it!

I am going to make this for my sister's wedding this summer, how cute!  Also, it's from this awesome DIY blog.

Fold Your Shirts!

This is new to me, maybe everyone on pinterest already knows this, but I had a bunch of shirts I needed to fold and make them look nice.  I'm a terrible folder, so I used the help of a trusty magazine I had laying around.  Check it.

Getting Crafty with Permanent Marker

How cute and easy is this?  I need to file this away, could be a cute Holiday gift.

Weekend Art

I think I could handle this.  I've been looking for something light to put above the bed, at least canvas would be lighter than a framed print (light in case of a big earthquake, I don't want anything heavy above my bed).

If You've Been Waiting, Why Not Start Today?

Turquoise Heaven

This pic makes me happy.  What an easy fix to add a pop of elegance.  My home is all white, this would be a quick, fun fix without having to paint all the walls, which I've been wanting to do since we moved in.

I wish I could cut in a straight circle.

This is cute, but I'm terrible with a scissors. From the blog Campclem.

Smile, not just when something great happens, but because life is beautiful.

Ever have one of those days?

I love this blog.

Oh Martha!

Oh Martha Stewart, you have all the good ideas.  Time to hit the flea market to find some old vintage spice cans and stick magnets on them.

How Sweet

Got CRAFTED today.

What an awesome craft market.  I was thinking about filling out an application to try and sell my tshirts and greeting cards here, but had only seen their website.  It seems like a well-organized friendly market to participate in.  Check out their site.
