I wanted to make a Mother's Day Card that was fairly easy to make and still really beautiful. I came across <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/539869074051044863/" target="_blank">this image on pinterest</a> and so I decided to model my card after this design. If you have some colored paper and a blank card lying around you can easily make this in about 1-2 hours.<br />

It's been so warm here in Oregon and so I wanted to change my iphone background to something more summery and refreshing. I couldn't find an ocean wallpaper background that I liked so I decided to make one. Here are some images you can download to make your computer, phone, or tablet pretty! I hope you enjoy them. :)<br />

Since it is the lovely time of Spring I thought it would be nice to create a pretty floral crown. This is such a great project because you can use your own creativity and choose your favorite flowers to wear. Plus wearing your new flower crown will make you want to go to a Renaissance Fair or a Music Festival. :)<br />
<br />
I picked up a small bouquet of flowers for $3.99 from Trader Joe's and a few supplies from Michael's.<br />

I took these photos on a beautiful Spring day near Smith Rock in Central Oregon. I really love the blue and pink together and how some flowers blurred more than others. You can now download this for your desktop, ipad, or phone background. I hope you find joy in looking at these pretties as much as I do.<br />

My new wonderful assistant came across this <a href="http://mommyknows.com/silk-tie-dye-easter-eggs-tutorial/" target="_blank">DIY</a> where you can dye eggs very easily with silk, water and vinegar and we both thought it was such a neat idea! The best part is unwrapping the fabric to see how they all came out. Its pretty fun and quite simple.<br />

<b>Step 1: </b>Cut 9"x9" silk fabric to cover egg and use string or twist ties to hold it in place. Make sure they are tightly tied on but be gentle enough to not break the egg. (I broke two!) Spritz water on egg to help the fabric stick to it. Make sure you use the more pigmented side of the silk.<br />

I recently came across <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/156570524520653642/" target="_blank">Jenna Park's story on Steller</a> on how to dye eggs using natural colors and was instantly inspired to make my own! I ended up using blackberries for bluish purple, beets for reddish pink, and turmeric for yellow. I originally wanted to make green with spinach but it didn't quite work out. I read that you need to use frozen spinach and baking powder to make it work. I ended up using turmeric instead.<br />

I have wanted to make boot cuffs for awhile now and I thought for the spirit of St Patricks Day I would make one with a clover on it! If you have a basic understanding of sewing by hand than this will be really easy for you to make. <br />
<br />

You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Buttons (I chose ones with one hole in the back) </li>
<li>Green Felt </li>
<li>Green Thread</li>
<li>Needle</li>
<li>Old Sweater</li>
<li>Sharpie </li>
</ul>

<b>Step 1:</b> Try on the arm part of the sweater over your pants to make sure they fit properly and mark where you want to cut them. <br />
<b>Step 2:</b> Cut off the desired length. If you live in a colder place you may want more fabric. <br />

<b>Step 3:</b> Use a sharpie if you aren't comfortable just cutting out a clover and draw four hearts. Place the felt against the cuff to get an idea of how big you want your clover to be. I made mine around 1".<br />
<b>Step 4:</b> Hand sew your buttons on the clovers. I did mine this way so if I want to unthread the clover it is easier to do. <br />

<b>Step 5:</b> Make sure you place a clover for the left side and the right side. I wanted to keep the seem of the cuff centered on the back of my leg when they are on. <br />
<b>Step 6: </b>Sew your clover on to the cuff.<br />

St Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays and so I wanted to make something special for the house. I have been admiring the <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/156570524520362502/" target="_blank"><b>little hearts on canvas</b></a> look for Valentines Day and so I wanted to make a St. Patty's Day version. The green goes better in my home than red or pinks. :)<br />
<br />
This project is a bit time consuming but a lot of fun to make and pretty easy for the most part.<br />

<b>Step 5:</b> Mark lightly with your pencil approx 1-1/2" in between each clover.<br />
<b>Step 6: </b>Hot glue a small drop on the back of the heart and place them on the canvas. I suggest doing the outer border first. You will be able to eye the spacing better this way.<br />

<br />
Once you have glued on all the four leaf clovers/hearts it should look something like this! I really like the way this came out. I think I may leave this up in the guest room all year long. :) <br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did. I would love to see pictures if you do decide to make this. Have fun!<br />

For my first DIY on the blog I wanted to start with something I am already familiar with. I used to make these a lot with vintage wallpaper and taught myself how to make them through trial and error. I used them for gifts and people really seemed to like them. They are great to stick in your purse when you need to jot something down.<br />
<br />
I like this project because you can really get creative with different paper and colored ribbon. I got the paper from Michaels for this project but you can use anything you want like newspaper, sheet music, wallpaper etc.<br />

I have been meaning to get a new mouse pad so I decided to make one! I've seen some really cool ones around the internet and I love the look of cork and vinyl/pleather with a little bit of art on it. I decided I wanted to go with navy blue and paint little stars. I also love the look of constellations so I ended up doing a Leo one. Feel free to get creative with yours!<br />

I was just checking out my popular pins from the last 30 days and this gorgeous bathroom was pretty popular so I thought I would share it here. In fact the whole house is really beautiful. I also really liked the guest bedroom. The neutrals and pops of soft blues throughout the home is really peaceful and calm.<br />

We received quite a lot of snow in Bend, Oregon today! I love waking up and looking outside to see that everything is white. Since I am stuck working and I am not able to take photos myself I thought I would share some of my favorites from my Pinterest board called <b><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lovelyclusters/winter/" target="_blank">"Winter"</a></b>.<br />

I'm not usually a huge fan of red but I am really loving these outfits with a pretty red coat! I especially love the ones with the Hunter Boots.<br />

<br />
Have you checked out the beautiful work of <a href="http://sheeraddictionjewelry.com/#a_aid=lovelyclusters" target="_blank"><b>Sheer Addiction Jewelry</b></a>? I am particularly fond of their gorgeous handmade necklaces. They have such a romantic feel to them and each piece has a description on the type of girl the jewelry is for. Love that idea.<br />
<br />
<b>Here is some more info from their about page: </b><br />
<br />
“People connect and respond to handmade things in a different, deeper way. I seek out pieces with a soul and history, and I love layering on my own point of view.”<br />
- Tamara Schafhauser, Sheer Addiction Jewelry<br />
<br />
From the centuries-old flea markets of Paris and Belgium to New York’s most hidden basement bead houses — Sheer Addiction Jewelry sources unique chains, brass stampings, crystals, pendants, stones, and charms to create one-of-a-kind jewelry that can be layered to create a look that is truly yours.<br />
<br />
Love this video they made too!<br />

I just came across the beautiful blog of <a href="http://elisabethheier.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Elisabeth Heier</b></a> and I am really loving all of her interiors and photography she posts. I think I found some reading for the weekend. I hope yours is beautiful!<br />

On another note I just discovered that Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl sings and her voice is quite lovely. I am listening to her new album Heartstrings on Spotify right now. :)<br />

I really loved <a href="http://www.designingthehamptons.com/2012/07/beach-house-dining-room-by-mabley.html" target="_blank">reading about the process</a> of this beautiful dining room from Mabley Handler Interior Design.<br />
<br />
"When you look at dining rooms, they are usually the darkest, most formal and often the least-used room in the house. We wanted our dining room to be bold and fresh, fun and enticing. We wanted to design a dining room that would draw you in to entertain in it, rather than feel like a museum room that says "Keep out."<br />
<br />
I agree that a dining room should feel this way too! What do you think?<br />
