good things to share...

16 October 2009

My kids are sick.
I haven't taken any pictures of projects.
Not feeling very inspired and motivated today...
Sometimes I make a blog "plan" about what I'm going to post, when I'm going to post, and how awesome it's going to be, and it goes right down the drain. :)
But that's okay, because today I'm going to share inspiration and motivation I've spotted around blogland:

I heart the girls at Our Best Bites. Love them especially now. Because why?
I think every easy Halloween food idea I have ever bookmarked, ripped from a magazine, or printed off to put in my idea book, they have put into one Easy Halloween Party Food amazing post.




Grapevine pumpkin tutorial from Make It and Love It

You want a buffet that looks like Chris' at Just a Girl? I can't get over the smoothness and beautiful-ness of this. And the best part? NO SANDING and she tells how step by step.
Cutest house number pots ever from the DIY Show Off:

An adorable ribbon lamp from Mandi:

My Grandma Reeva makes pinecone wreaths, but this one from V and Co. is not your grandma's wreath~love it!

I told Amanda @ Imperfectly Beautiful I wanted to box this whole spooky yet delicious table up and bring to my house:

Thank you for letting me share your talent, ladies!

Next week, we get to celebrate 1 year at 320 Sycamore~yay!
Will you come back and join me?
Have a great weekend!

  12. Sick little ones--never a fun time...with five of my own (all under 10), I'm hoping that we won't have a illness onslaught here...~~~shudder~~~

    That being said, I do hope that yours get well soon. And that you don't catch whatever it is they have...nothing worse than recovered children, and a not-recovered mom!

    And that sideboard? Holy cannoli, it makes me want to go buy some big hulking ugly piece of furniture, and remake it, using her directions! And worse yet, I don't even know where to find some Benjamin Moore paint!! LOL.

    Now that I think of it...I do have a headboard already...hmmmmmmmmmmmm......

    Thanks for the thought-provokers!

  14. I love the buffet and the spooky table. I saw some old poison bottles at an antique fair last week - now I wish I'd bought them.
    Hope your little ones are better soon. x

  15. Love the ideas! Hope the kids are feeling better soon. I miss the days when mine were little and easy to care for. My 'baby' called me from Portland this week with 104 fever and swine flu. We live in Wisconsin. Luckily they have online grocery there and I could send him a mom package of chicken soup, medicine, bendy straws, kleenex and all that mom stuff!
