Knitting

I used to scoff at knitting.

Now I'm not so sure...

(handmade baby elephant from purlbee.)

The thing that's getting me is this - if you can knit, you can have whatever you want as long as you have the yarn and the patience (cute things that you can't buy, scarves in any color)..

And so, I might make it a goal this year to (re-)learn to knit.

Spring in a Box

Found this on inchmark via snippet & ink.

It's a care package with a spring/sunshine theme.

Fantastic idea for a relatively low cost way of realllly brightening someones day/week.

woodgrain!

I've fallen in love with woodgrain patterns.

Room decor.

My friend Erin just got a new room.
I was looking online to find some ideas/stuff for it. It was the guest room & really needs a new look. :) These items were inspired by the colors in her comforter & the school desk in her room. :D

celebrate color

It makes me LOVE color.

And I even might paint my room...
(I've been putting it off because of the work involved... might do something like the color of the R on the end. I have a lot of accent items in the yellow color..)
