Weekly Roundup- March 15, 2013

Good Morning,  I have some wonderful and inspirational projects for you today.  Sorry I had have been missing, but still trying to work this schedule thing out. But alas I want to share some wonderful finds that just inspire me.  Hope they do you too.

I’m in love with this chalkboard from Kimberly @ Serendipity Refined.  Isn’t it beautiful?

Becca @ Adventures in Decorating shares here gorgeous Spring Mantel.

Becca @ Adventures in Decorating shows off her springy Easter tree.

Weekly Roundup- March 1,2013

Good Afternoon Ladies,  I always enjoyed doing this post because I love looking around blogland.  And who doesn’t like seeing how others put things together or how someone redoes something.  Sometimes taking trash to treasure.  It varies week to week on what I feel like posting here, but my sincere hope is that you will find something that inspires you and sparks your creativity.

 

Carlene @ Organized Clutter painted this little bunny and it looks like the delectable Easter Bunny treat.  Really think this is adorable.

Nici @ Posed Perfection created these cherry blossoms, I think if I was doing them I would use pink tissue paper. But love this easy and cute idea

Amber @ The Honeysuckle Bus Stop created a easy Easter tree. Another super easy and inexpensive craft project for spring.

Jaime from Crafty Scrappy Happy shared how to make these adorable eggs.  Want to do these.

Those are a few of the things that I found this week that I feel are quite doable and inexpensive to add to your home this Easter or Spring. Feel free to share a idea with us.

  Blessings,
     Cindy

Weekly Roundup- November 4th,2011

Another week and more blog goodies, so many clever women and great redo reveals.

Kerryanne @ Shabby Art Boutique created a awesome chalkboard from this old mirror. What a clever use for this.

Vicki @Ranger 911 converted a old cubby cabinet that she found at a antique mall to this. I love this, the soft paint choice sprinkled with the white and touches of black. Awesome!



Jaime@ Crafty Scrappy Happy  converted her master bedroom.  Great use of colors as textures as well as some great furniture re-do’s. 




Tracey @ A comfy Little Place of my own transformed a antique vanity.  Pretty redo!



Anita @ Going a little coastal transformed a old hutch into a beautiful china cabinet.  Another love.



Seeing all these redo’s  is motivating me to get to work on some of my projects….well almost!
Are you working on any projects? 

Hope you have a blessed weekend.

Weekly Roundup 6/17/11

I’m back, it’s been a couple of weeks since I did the roundup….but while surfing and reading this week, I fell in love with a  few things.  Take a look…


Heather @ At the Picket Fence shows us how to make No Sew Pillows.  This is good for me, since I can’t sew a stitch.  Someday…..but that is for another time.



Jen @ Remodelaholic converted a antique sewing machine stand into a lovely shabby chic desk.  Now why didn’t I think of that?




EllaBoo @ EllaBoo&Co has taken an old worn tired dresser and created a lovely dresser.



Midwest cottage transformed a hutch into a warm farmhouse hutch.  So pretty!



Ya’ll I am loving these chandies…. I definitely am wanting one.  J and J Home gives a
brief look at the one she just did. 



Did you find any fun and “have to try” projects this week?  Let me know.

UPDATE:  6/17/11 @9:30 AM
Jane @ Finding Fabulous steered me clear on the old worn dresser by EllaBoo.  I had originally thought she had created this dresser, however she informed me it was a piece she featured.  Anyhow, I just wanted to Thank her, and also let you know you should still check out her blog...it is SOOOOOOO worth your while.

Weekly Roundup 5/6/11

Some favorite things that caught my attention this week.  All I can say, is there is soooooo much fun stuff out there in blogland.  There is no way to see it all.

Let’s get started

Oh my my, I fell in love when I saw this bookmarks.   Andrea @ Everyday Beauty. 

Not only do I think they are awesome so did Country Living as they were  featured there as well.



Kimberly @ Here on Crow Creek gives a brief tutorial on how she makes her signs.  This is a great alternative if you don’t have a silhouette or cricket machine (and I don’t).  Definitely will give this a try, because who doesn’t LOVE signs? 

And I also found this little idea, I love the way that Suzanne @ Just another hang up created this wonderful wall of accolades.  What a special way to show off your kids and grandkids artwork.

Check this out:

Before I leave you today I want to share with you my latest addiction….it’s called pinning…if you haven’t tried it, you should…but I worn you it’s very addicting.  Make sure you wait until you have LOADS of time…or not…tee hee…but either way check it out, especially if you love saving images and recipes and just things you love from the internet. 

Beth @ The Stories of A to Z has a helpful tutorial on how to use Pinterest.   Also as a bonus Beth has a link for immediate access to the site (instead of having to wait, like I did) .



Now I know my interest where a little all over the place this week, but that is kinda how my head is screwed on lately.   Not to mention, while working on this post I was interrupted like a million times.

Weekly Roundup 4-22-11–Easter Week

Greetings on Good Friday



Back again this week with some great little DIY projects for Easter.


A nice little project from Kindra @ At Home with K    I think these are wonderful just the way they are, but they would also be adorable in pastel, soft colors.

Beth @ The Stories of A to Z  made this Asparagus Vase.  She gives you a tutorial on how to make this, and although she uses fresh asparagus, this could be done with artificial.



Jen @ Scissors and Spatulas made these adorable Easter Egg napkin rings…take a look.



Alicia @Thrifty and Chic made these chalkboard eggs…who would have thunk? 



Rachel @ The Rachel Berry Blog has the cutest personalized eggs evah.  Definitely have to make these.  She shares a tutorial on how to make these fabulous gems.

   Thanks Rachel!

Oh please forgive me for just getting this out. Normally I will work on putting this post together throughout the week when I run across something on a blog that I have enjoyed…but not this week…and now, this morning I’ve been swamped with other “personal” things to tend too. 

But I really don’t want the week to get away without my contribution to my weekly roundup. I would have had more to show you, however I blew spent WAY to much time at each of these blogs, making notes, bookmarking, etc.…you get the point. 

Anyhow, I hope you will spend some time drooling looking around.  And will find some inspiration too.

Michelle @  Sweet Something Designs kitchen redo.

Michelle @ Sweet Something Designs also had these….lovin it, lovin it…..

Okay, one more project  from Michelle @ Sweet Something Designs



Amanda @ Reloved Rubbish made  some wonderful numbered pails to use for spring decorating.

Leigh Anne @ Your Homebased Mom  made these adorable Easter goodies.

Weekly Roundup 4-8-11

Good Morning, I decided that I wanted to get back to doing my weekly roundup so here we go again.  Alot of people enjoyed when I did this before, but due to so many obstacles and little detours in my real life, I haven’t had the time to devote to reading and “loving” on blogs.  So here are some of my favorite things I “loved” this week.

 

You know that monograms are the “thing” now.  But boy can monogrammed goodies add up.  At mugs at around $6.00 a whack or more you can’t afford to many.  This might be a option.

 
 

 

How cute are these monogrammed mugs?  These are a DIY project I found @ Design Mom. 

You can find the porcelain pens for this project @ DickBlick 

Just think of all the things you can write on with these pens. 

I can feel the wheels turning in my head already with all the fun things I could do with these little babies.  “Could these be as dangerous as paint?”  Nah, surely not! 

 

With Spring here or in most places, I wanted to share something that I am in love with. This next little do it yourself project is to die for.   Stephanie Lynn @ Under the Table and Dreaming shares with us how to create this.  I {HEART}this.A  Make sure you allow yourself some time when visiting Stephanie, as she has lots and lots of wonderful things to see.  It’s fabulous.

  

 

With Easter on the way, folks are getting crafty with their accessories. I have spent time this week searching for some fun and creative ideas for Easter. Something that is new to me.  Isn’t  this a adorable Easter Egg Wreath.  Who would of thought to use yarn this way.  Now I might could use do this one. Check out Trisha @ The Sweet Survival.  {I think this could be a adorable wreath for a baby’s room} 

 

Or how ‘bout her Moss Balls

  I really like this too, they bring a touch of earthiness( is that a word) to the room.  Definitely want to make some of these.

Another fun Easter wreath.



This Easter wreath with made with  pussy willow and grapevine.  Love this, and how simple is that?.  This creation is by Good Housekeeping.

 

Although there are lots of things to look at out there in “blog land” these are a few things that I tucked away in “my do” file.  What do you have tucked away in yours?

Weekly Roundup-August 27

 

 

I LOVE LABELS!!!!  It’s that organizational part of me. So if you love them the way I do, then you take a look at these.

I don’t know about you but I really love these canisters.  When I saw them, my mind started thinking about all the KEWL things that I could label.  Sarah@ ThriftyDecorChick gives a little tutorial on how to do these. 

Some women are so clever and thrifty and I love that.   I love anything that I can repurpose and give new life to for next to nothing.  So does my hubby! 

That leads to me why I really like this next project that Melissa @  320 Sycamore did.   

When you are on a budget and you have a certain look in mind, nothing else will do.  Take a look at how she painted these laminate cheap bookshelves to make her family room very up to date.

 

 

 

Now, did you know that grey is the new neutral color in home decorating.  Well I didn’t so I’m just sayin….anyhow now we both know.  Take a look at Sara’s kitchen @ August Fields.  I love the grey…and thinking this is very doable.   Ya’ll I’m in love with that island, and those open cabinets.  You really should jump over and view the whole kitchen it is simply beautiful. The opposite view of the island.  (below)

Just in case you missed this  in the last week or so, I have had this bookmarked to share so  going to go ahead and do it now.  It’s got two main ingredients in it that I love, organization  and remodeling (although it really isn’t a

remodel)  Take a look at this pantry.  I know we all love pantries, but wait until you see this transformation @ House of Smiths.  There are those LABELS again.  Lovin it,lovin it!

Make sure you stop in and see how she pulled it altogether.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay now I want to end  this with a fun cute little project that I just fell in love with, it would  be easy, and fairly quick to do…it is a birthday wreath.   What else would you do with 144 balloons?   Missy gives a great little tutorial @ How Does She

Well ladies, I hope you found some fun things here today?  What was your favorite? 

Need to scoot, today is going to be a busy day in the house, need to get it cleaned.  Tomorrow in the AM, hubby and I will be driving up to South Williamsport PA to watch the Little League World Series.  Got to go root for the Pearland Texas team.  Go Texas. 

Hope you all have a very blessed weekend.

Hi Ladies, Before I do anything, I have to SHOUT out HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby girl who turns 19 today n Love you bunches Tori!!! d

            

                     

My Daughter

You’ll never really know, my dear,
Just how much you mean to me,
A mother’s love, buried so deep,
That only my heart can see.

When I sit and really stare at you,
All I can do is grin,
Somewhere down deep inside,
I see myself within.

I’d never change a thing in you,
I thank God that your so fine,
Even when your at your worst,
I’m so proud that you are mine.

The roads we have traveled,
were not always that good,
I would take back all the pain you’ve felt,
Only if I could.

I know that I’m not perfect,
It’s the best that I can do,
But everyday, I thank the lord,
For a daughter as special as you.

(author unknown)

Can you believe that I am actually getting around to doing a roundup again?  I have shared a couple of things I found while scouring the pages this week that I have bookmarked. Believe me there was more, but time ran out. 

I am in love…… m

Can you say WUNDERBAR?  Melanie really outdid herself on this piece of furniture, but then again all her work/redo’s are great. Check this out at The Frosted Gardner, you don’t want to go though if you don’t have LOTS of time to look around. 

Are you ready for another great transformation?  Check out what Leigh of Dirt Cheap Decor did here.  I’m in love with those doors as a headboard and the colors in this room are so tranquil, gotta love the little sparkly chandelier.

How simple and cute is this little idea that Sarah @2 Giggles Boxes created.  Thinking this is VERY doable.  B

I hope you enjoyed the small amount of eye candy this week. 

Need to scoot, got lots to do today….I mean after all it is a special day.  B
