Living room space

Slowly but surely we are changing up our living room. I am loving what we've got going on so far...adding pops of turquoise and some fun patterns. What do you think of our new rug? It's pretty thin so I'm not sure if I love it (and for the price I have to love it!) I'm going to give it a week to see if it's a keeper. I'm digging the stripes for sure though! Now I feel like our coffee table and end table need a facelift. Any suggestions? I'd love to hear any input.

hair update

Here was my hair first thing this morning. Not too bad considering I woke up and the headband wasn't on my head anymore (wild sleeper much?). I had a friend tell me that it would only work with wet hair...and I think she is probably right. So if I give this a go again I will try it with wet (or at least damp) hair. In case you want to know how I did it, here is the link to the video: (copy and paste the url, or just click the highlighted link word)

Thank you Pinterest for always giving me new ideas! 

Pinterest hair

Trying out the no heat curls today! Just a stretchy headband and my hair wrapped around it... I'll let ya know how it turns out. Sure would save some time if it works!

**Update: I ended up redoing my hair and sleeping on it (like you are supposed to do) because I left this hair-do in for about two hours and the curl that it had fell out in a few minutes. It was way too loose, scroll to the next post for the after picture from sleeping on it over night.

Sprucing up an outfit

I was getting dressed this morning and went to put on a scarf. Lately I have a been a little obsessed with scarves and wear them almost daily. Our winter weather has been so awkward this year and it's not quite cold enough that you need a coat...so vests &sweaters &scarves it is! I've seen all these different ways to wear scarves on Pinterest (where else) and I decided to try the bow. I couldn't decide if it was cute or not, so I sent a picture mail to my sister [the lil fashionista of the fam] &she thought it was cute! So I thought I'd share and let you decide for yourself what you think. It's growing on me! 

And one more pic just because it's fun:

Super easy and fun way to spice up the ol' wardrobe. Happy Friday!

{heart} Day.

I don't know about you, but after the holidays are over, I really want them to be over, and move on to some new decorations! The next holiday is one of my very favorites to decorate for. Valentines Day. And with a little help from Pinterest, and The Creative Crate, I was able to whip out this baby.......

So super easy, not to mention A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!

Supplies:

1. 3 peices of scrap wood
2. Sandpaper
3. Stain, paint, and a brush. (*stain if you want)
4. ribbon, twine, or tulle

Tutorial:

1. So I'm not sure how this happened, but I had these 3 peices laying in my garage, same length, everything. Perfect. Paint them all cream/white.

2. Let that dry, and then sand em up a bit, or a lot. Stain them if you wish... I did not.

3. Then cut your lettering with a cricut, and stick the out line part of the vinyl on the wood. Paint the letters black.

4. Let them dry completely, and then take the vinyl off.

5. Sand a bit more if you wish, especially the letters.

6. Embellish.....And Ta-Da!

Excited!!!!

I am so excited to be a part of the little team here at Krazy Crafty Lady, and to help inspire and be inspired!

I am thrilled to be here and want to thank Christine for letting me be a part? :)

So lets get on with some crafts, should we?

This is my darling little girl, who happens to be in need of a stocking, or Santa 

just might not visit her this year :(

So with a little inspiration from Pinterest, I created this beauty :)

(Please excuse the picture quality. It turns out my camera came up missing, 

and the I-phone doesnt prove to be a replacement :)

And what is even better about this darling little stocking? If you come back tomorrow to visit, I'll have a super easy tutorial to go with it ;)

Thank you for stopping by and I am so excited to be here more often!

SUPER EXCITING NEWS!!!

YOU GUYS!! 

Do I even have followers anymore?? LOL My poor, neglected blog. Not sure about my fellow bloggers out there...but I have been stuck in a rut. I used to be super excited to post new things and to even make new things! Lately, and maybe its because the past few months have been busy with family and holiday activities...I just haven't felt very excited to blog. I needed some help getting excited about blogging again! Which is where my latest decision came in to play.

I'm adding my good friend Sarah Davis to the Krazy Crafty Lady team!!! YAY!! 

Sarah and her husband

She started her own craft blog: Be crafty, Be creative, Be cute a few months ago and we both have sort of taken a blogging hiatus. I got thinking that we could partner up...that way we can each motivate each other to post more! She always has the best ideas and makes the CUTEST things so I thought she would be a great contributer to this site. I couldn't be more excited to continue this journey on the world wide web with her! I know you will love her and all the fun stuff she has to offer. Not to mention she has the cutest two kids and she is always making fun things for them. And since our kiddos are similar in ages I will be stealing borrowing her ideas too :) 

WOOHOO!! Let the blogging madness journey begin! 

XOXO
