Cheap Therapy

With so many big projects that tend to eat up my time and money.
I've gotten into a funk.
The blah, sore, can't quit staring and wishing for things I really don't need.
Do know what helps me with that?
People telling me to quit it. ahhahaaha
Also just being able to do something fun, simple, and colorful and also cheap.
Off to the dollar store  (sound the trumpets)
With the sun shining weather and so many people planting things that grow.
I remember my thumb is not very green and refrain from herbicide.
It's just not pretty.
So I found this fun ribbon and foam ring and fun butterflies.

Then the crowning touch?
Drink umbrellas!!!! a couple dollars for 144 of them. 
Yes, this craft has been seen on Pinterest, it is where I saw it as well.

As usual I did not read directions just looked at the pretty pictures. 
Honestly how hard could jabbing umbrellas be?

It looked a little lumpy.
Maybe the ring is too small.
hmmmmm, I will fake it. :) 
 A quick burst of color TA-DAaaa!! 
See, feeling better already and no monthly payments.
whoot whoot
Give it a try, it's amazing how creating something makes you feel a little saner

Slackerville




Yes, I have been living in Slackerville. I still have not installed the sink (hangs head in shame). Plus I ran away with my husband last weekend to Seattle. Pretended to be a local, and even got away with it a few times. I do have some pretty pics of Seattle and just the little things I love about it. I will share, here ya go.



 This is my favorite view (my pookie)
we found STE and was thankful, didn't realize how we missed it so.
(if you're looking it's part of SAM) 
Local artists totally blow me away and wish I had the money to purchase them.
I will have to settle for trying my own hand at it. 
Shoeshine Willie is legend!!  If you ever get to Seattle look for him (Pike Place Market) 
One of the hidden alleys you tend to stumble upon.  This one has a gum mosaic going on. 
Why yes, I am a Alice in Chains fan and was quite sad the day Layne died. 
This fresh raspberry and mint martini was blog worthy on it's own.
It's the little hidden things that make it so much fun.  Especially when you stumble onto something great! 
It was such a great time, I really didn't want to come home to my clutter. sigh dang clutter

So with spring approaching (wouldn't know it by the weather) it is time to get a fresh outlook.
This is my inspiration for a new fresher (hopefully cleaner, non cluttered) bedroom.
drum roll please
TA DAAAA!!!!
thanks to Pier One
Alas, I can not afford Pier One, so there will be DIY happening and a whole of faking going on.
This is how it looks now.  Caution do not stare at  it too long as you may go blind.
