Long Time No See

It's been a while! I was back in Illinois for Thanksgiving, Christmas and even got to ring in the New Year there. Hopefully I saw most of you during one of those times so you know what I was up to.

Let me start off by saying I am very excited for 2012! I have so much to be thankful for and I think this is going to be a great year - wonderful people in my life, a great job, and the best puppy in the world.

Now, what have I been up to since I got back to NC in January? A lot of projects!


Coffee Bean Center Piece



This was simple to execute and it smells fantastic when the candle is burning (and long after). I highly suggest this for brunch get togethers or any old day (especially if you're a coffee lover like me). 

Flower Pot Make-Over


My mom and I made these - flower pots covered in decorative fabric. Pretty easy project that really brightened up my living room! The orange and green contrast nicely. 

 Chic Pajamas


It was dark when we took this picture, but I made these comfy chic pajamas with the help of my mama. They are my new favorite. 

Spring Wreath


I am already ready for the spring! I must admit, I've had it easy in North Carolina (it's been 50 degrees most days). What all my Northerner coworkers told me is true - "Spend one winter down here and you'll never want to go back!"  

Sidenote: I am in the process of getting myself set up on Etsy to sell some of these creations!



And I have to end this post with a picture of Maya - because she's so darn cute! She is my little energizer bunny, but for anyone who doesn't believe that she can relax - here is my proof :)
