Pretty things

Hello friends!  Happy Valentines day, I am beyond happy to be back again.  I've just gone through 6 full days of being beyond sick, I've got a little nasty sickness called Gastroesophageal reflex disease, or GERD for short.  Isn't is sexy!  You have no idea the simple joys I am having today, like sitting up.  So thanks for hanging in there for the last week of silence, but now I'm back.  And just in time for love day.... although the husband and I are postponing our celebration for later this week, when I'm sure I can keep everything down!

And hello to the new followers!!  So with all that sick babble, how about a little prettiness to start off the day, shall we?

Loving these delicate goodies from Loja de estar, an online shop based out of Portugal.  I am on a major doily kick right now, can't seem to get enough.  And this yellow one would be a perfect fit in my collection.

A crafty DIY

Thanks to Pinterest, I came across this creative and seemingly simple DIY project over at Sodapop design.  Its written in German, and even with Google and a husband that is a little more than rusty on his German, I had to piece together the gist of it.  I had to look up what efaplast was, turns out its totally common and you can get it at most art stores.  So with a bit of molding clay, a doily, sand paper and acrylic paint, you got yourself a beauty for any tabletop.  Check out Caro's blog for the rest of the how to, I might just have to add this one to the 'someday' project list.  Am I the only one who has a million things I would love to make?
