I Can Never Remember

my grocery list, along with many other things. This can be a problem when it is late at night and you have one diaper left because you completely forgot to get some while at the store. I do this ALL THE TIME. Seriously, I come home and remember that I needed about five more items! So, one day I got bored and hadn't done much crafting so I decided to throw together a little project. I wanted to make our refrigerator a little more appealing and have some type of grocery list as well. I grabbed some magnets, fabric, buttons, spray paint, a canvas (8x10), and my hot glue gun then got to work!

I ended up making the canvas into a chalkboard for our grocery list and stuck it to the refrigerator by adding magnets to the back. Then I made some magnets with buttons, fabric rosettes, and a few other items. I just added a strip of magnet to the back and bam, they were ready!

Christmas Time is Here

I am so excited that Christmas time has arrived! I love this time of year for more than one reason! I always get so excited to get a Christmas tree, decorate, spend time with family, and have a break from school all while celebrating Jesus! I just started decorating for Christmas because I am a firm believer in waiting until after Thanksgiving to decorate (maybe someday that will change) plus I'm in the midst of finals so this house has been a little crazy!
Thankfully, my last class was on Wednesday and now I'm just waiting to take some finals! So, I've been able to put up some decorations and hopefully we will put up more tonight (crossing my fingers that we will put up a Christmas tree tonight)! I will be sharing those decorations later though!

Here is what we have for now!

A Home

It has been three years since we've owned our home! THREE YEARS! It was my husbands bachelor pad for about three months, but since I moved in, we've been slowly making it our own. I would say that within the last year our house has really become our home.  It wasn't that the first two years I hated our home, it just still didn't have much of our style.  I think what has made the biggest difference is having a little girl running around, she makes us want our home to be even more homey.  So, recently I have finally started making our bedroom a little more "us."  
When we first moved in we talked about doing red as an accent color in our bedroom.  As it turns out, I'm not a huge fan of red, so I kicked out our old lamp shade that was a darker shade of red.  I found a drum lamp shade at Goodwill and decided it would be perfect to upcycle!  

Then, I remembered a sweater that I picked up from Goodwill to make a pillow and some leg warmers out of.  I originally though about using twine, but I have wrapped stuff in twine before and that can be very time consuming. 

I would have loved to use the bottom portion, but I already dedicated that part to a pillow.  Plus, the top turtle neck portion was the perfect size for the lamp shade already.  All I did was cut along the seam where the turtle neck portion meets the rest of the sweater. Then, I plugged in my hot glue gun, wrapped the shade in the sweater, pulled it tight, and hot glued the top and bottom to the inside of the shade. 

I love it!

So simple!

Instagramin'

If it isn't obvious by my lack of posts, school has been back in session for the past six or so weeks!  My nights are now being consumed by homework. I am longing for graduation already - come on May! In all of the craziness I have been working on a few projects for our home! I will put them up soon, hopefully!
I also got a new phone, which is awesome! AWESOME! I have been a bit too lazy to pick up my camera and take pictures today of our newest addition to our home - our new "spice rack."  So, I used my cell phone! All of you Instagram fans can appreciate this! I'm so addicted, especially since there is a cute little face running around here 24/7!

So do you like it?  I found the old Coke crate at a flea market this weekend knowing that it would look great in our kitchen! We are loving it!
