So my throw back thursday is to 3 years ago when I wanted to find a creative way to announce that I was pregnant with our first with friends and family. He was due in may so at 3 months in when we decide to announce it was fall and I wanted to do something fall themed. I came up with carving this pumpkin with "Coming Soon... 5.6.12" and I posted it on my facebook...it was subtle and fun—I loved it! I whipped up a tutorial with some pumpkin carving tips to help you DIY one of these. You could also paint the pumpkin or just scrape off the top layer of the skin to reveal the pith underneath. I'd love to see what you are inspired to make from this post! Happy Fall!!!

Crochet Bunting

9:30 PM


The past few months have been a whirlwind and I'm now living in a whole new state halfway across the country, 9 months pregnant and potty training my toddler. I should have lost my mind by now, but I've been making it through my faith and some crochet. I finally got back to my crochet and finished my first project in the new house—adorable crochet bunting!

DIY Terrarium : Choosing Your Climate

10:51 PM
I have been drooling over all the gorgeous, modern and sometimes quirky terrariums that I have been seeing on Pinterest and Etsy for a long time now. And after months of telling myself I really need to make one, I have finally done it…only not for myself. I made one for my mother, for Christmas. (One of these days I will actually make one for myself.) I put it off for so long because the process seemed a bit daunting…I'm no botanist, I'm no gardner…I had no idea where to start. Finally, I snatched up a vase at Target and committed. My vase worked out fine, but looking back it would have been smarter to start by deciding the climate for my terrarium. The climate is determined by the light, moisture, soil and will inform your plant life choices, as feel as, it sets the stage for the maintenance and upkeep of your terrarium. Climate will also dictate the area of your living space that your terrarium will enjoy living in the most—right by the window, near the steam-rich shower or in the diffused light of your living room. I created this graphic for anyone who's feeling as lost as I was. My next post will walk you step by step through the terrarium I made.
