Terrific Things Tuesday!

12/9/2014

It's been awhile since I've done one of these, so I figured I'd pop in today with some winter-inspired "Terrific Things"! Y'all ready? Okie dokie! Let's dive right in!

1) Crocheted Snowflakes:
As if going to Michael's and NOT spending my entire paycheck on yarn wasn't hard enough . . . these fairly "floated" into my Pinterest feed the other day!

I suddenly NEED more yarn. Don't ask why. I just do.

Moving on . . .

2) Ways to Spice up your Hot Chocolate:
Who doesn't love hot chocolate!? Like, tell me if you don't, but I've never met a person that doesn't like a rich, delicious cup of steaming hot chocolate. If you ARE a cocoa fan, however. This is for you:

3) May Your Days Be Merry and Bright Art:
I love this idea! Plus, it seems like it'd be a VERY simple afternoon craft. What's not to like!?

4) This Card:
It's winter, which in most places that means it's cold. So you're probably spending more time indoors. Don't waste all that time watching Gilmore Girls! Write someone you care about a note . . . maybe on this awesome Gilmore Girls notecard!! ;D

5) Beautiful Paper Snowflakes!
More snowflakes? Why yes, indeed! I think that these are super fun! Find out how to make them here. I am going to follow this tutorial meticulously, because I have never ever made any homemade snowflakes that look anything like this. If you do, maybe you could post your pics in the comments and let me know this is possible. You may never see mine . . .

I think that's all the Terrific Things this Tuesday can handle!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Let me know what you thought of it in the comments!

I hope y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
Love,
Olivia

Fabulous Friday!

Okie dokie, y'all! Because there wasn't a "Terrific Things Tuesday" this week, I figured we could do something similar for Friday. This won't happen every week, just occasionally--assuming I have something planned for Tuesday besides Terrific Things Tuesday. ;)

Let's get to it . . .

1) Frozen
Yes, the Disney Movie . . . I've told y'all I might as well be six years old! Besides being an adorable movie though, it also accurately describes the way I've felt with our recently chilly temperatures. Also, this version of "Let It Go" is my favorite, in case y'all were wondering:

2) Fuzzy Socks
Though it's not exactly fun dealing with chilly temperatures, I am totally loving slipper socks. They have some cute ones here that can be warmed in the microwave to keep your feet toasty! :O See:

3) Fireplaces
We've had a fire roaring all day long. It keeps the house far warmer. Yippee!!

4) Festive Beverages
Hot Cocoa and Candy Cane Tea Galore! I'm planning on having some of this in a moment!

5) Fabulous Quotes
I've been loving this one recently.

That's all we've got for our Fabulous Friday!
Hope you have a fantastic day!
Love,
Olivia

Some Stuff I "Need" To Try (Crafts Edition)

10/15/2014

Comments

As y'all know, my addiction to Pinterest is real, and last week we explored some food I'm looking forward to recipe testing soon. So, I figured this week we'd do the crafts version! By the way, y'all can find my Pinterest here. Without further ado, here are a few things I plan to try soon from Pinterest in the area of getting crafty.

1) Texas Lilly Inspired Painting:
I'm shocked I hadn't found this already, but I definitely need to add it to my gallery wall in my room soon! Look how pretty it is! I mean, I know I'm biased, but who doesn't love bluebonnets? Really now. I suppose you could also adapt it to the state you hold dear, but mine will definitely look a whole lot like this one. Born in Texas = Always a Texan! By the way, there's no tutorial on it. The pin just links to the picture. See? It doesn't look too hard. . . maybe I'll give it a go sometime in the next couple weeks.

2) The Granny Bobble Spiral Square:
I envision this as a fantastic fall project, and when you finish it; it'll keep you warm through the winter. I'm also digging these colors! So pretty together. Also reminds me of the colors of this place, but no time for froyo right now! Find the picture and tutorial here and the original pin here.

3) Tassel Garlands:
I think these would be perfect trim for my desk in my room. Such a fun addition, right? Original pin here. Tutorial and picture here.

4) Paint Chip Calendar:
I'm a big fan of dry erase calendars and of color. This combines my obsessive organizer and color lover beautifully, hence why I "NEED" to make it. ;) No tutorial, but you can find the picture here. Original pin here. It looks fairly simple. Maybe I'll do a tutorial.

5) Painted Pumpkins:
What kind of crafty October post would this be if I didn't mention pumpkins!? Well, now I have. I'm LOVING this Lilly Pulitzer-inspired one at the moment, but still need to decide if that's THE style I'm doing for my pumpkin this fall. :) By the way, the picture is as in depth as the "how to" gets. Original pin here. Picture and "how to" here.

Well, that's all for today, y'all! Hope you found a couple bits of crafty inspiration!

Would y'all want a tutorial on the paint chip calendar? Let me know in the comments! ;)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!
Love,
Olivia
