Taking a Pinterest

I am one of the many who is currently hooked on Pinterest. Talk about addicting. The only problem is that I wish I could actually "do" as fast as I "pin". However, I did do a couple DIY projects this Summer that I had found inspiration from Pinterest. I've been meaning to post them since Summer but school started therefore nothing else really happens except grading, planning, and cutting lamination.

I'm realizing I really need to improve my photography skills but bear with me for now.

First up is my pom-pom flowers as a Spring/Summer centerpiece on my dining room table. (Currently the vase is filled with mini-pumpkins for Fall but these will come back out in the Spring.) I just used tulle, sticks from my yard, and rocks. The colors of the flowers match the fabric I recently used for the chairs. I got my inspiration (and my tutorial on how to make them) mainly from here and here.

I also made this calendar with the idea from here. I made mine a Western theme to match my kitchen's style. It is hard to read in the picture but on the right side I have a "To do" list and a "To Buy" list. I bought a frame from Hobby Lobby and then used scrapbook paper, stickers, a little twine, and sharpie (The sharpie is on the inside of the glass for the lines and then I use dry erase markers to write on it.)
