Twinkle Twinkle

The last couple of weekends I have taken a break

from cooking and cleaning

and have spent my time in my renovated room

with no natural light ~ creating

finally taking some of those things I have pinned

and made them for myself

I have also been having some fun with my chalkboard

wow ~ there are so many cool quotes and fonts

plain inspiration everywhere you look

since our Thanksgiving was last month I chose this one

as I thought it was a bit early for me 

to be putting something Christmas related on it

a couple of weekends ago I made these sweater pillows

again ~ crappy lighting ~ sorry about that!

found on Pinterest ~ a couple of sweaters from goodwill

some batting and stuffing and I used embroidery floss instead of thread

I have 2 or 3 more sweaters to do and 

can't wait to see how they will look on the couch.

This past weekend I made these...

egg cartons + paint + mini lights = cute!

I love them and they were too easy to make

again ~ another Pinterest find

so my little corner of the world is basically complete

that sweater hanging over the chair was one my Grammy Brown made me

and I cannot part with it ~ so after the chair gets recovered with this fabric

the sweater will become another pillow!

I picked this up on my trip 

and it is awaiting a perfect little spot of wall

thought I would take some random shots of my space

as I will soon be hauling out the Christmas wrap, ribbon and bows

and this will become filled with everything Christmas

yes that is my old stereo with a turntable

because you never know when the girls are going to show up 

and we will drag out the 45's and have a dance party!

see randomness and whiskers abound

along with peanut butter pie ~ to die for delicious 

and currently crushing on these ~ please come to Canada soon!

Happy Tuesday.
