Back From Vacation!

Well guys, I am back from my vacation!

I did lots of fun things and spent some great time with my sisters and their kids. I would say it's back to the grindstone, but I still have about 4 weeks before school starts and don't have a job as of yet, so it's more like back to doing nothing.

Only have been doing things! I did an art project today!

But first, here are some pictures of me and my new haircut! (Sorry about the kinda blurry pictures...I forgot to wipe the lens off!...oops)





I really like it! I don't even really miss the long hair. I thought I would be going around lamenting my lack of lengthy locks (say that fives times fast!) but that is certainly not the case.

Also, here is a pretty Queen Anne's Lace flower. I've always thought these were underrated.



So anyway, my art project! I saw some really pretty doily art stuff on Pinterest, so I thought I would give it a go! 

I bought some pre-stretched canvas at Michaels and spray painted it aqua blue. Then I hand dyed a bunch of old doilies pink. When that was done I took some spray adhesive, positioned everything, and viola!, art!




I also did some weeding in the garden (found a long neglected strawberry patch!) and made dinner from scratch, using only ingredients on hand! I may share the recipe at some point, as it's quite clever. 

Until next time lovely people!

  1. This new length looks magnificent on you, sweetheart! Very classic, sweet, pretty, and so much cooler for the smouldering hot summer months.

    Your doilies are really lovely! I think a framed cluster of these on a focal wall (perhaps with some teacups and saucers in the general vicinity) would be beautiful.
