Friday Faves - Easter Edition

Since Easter is just a few days away, I figured I’d make this week’s Friday Faves Easter related.  Here are some of the cute Easter ideas I’ve come across.

Excuse me while I try to take a bite out of these delicious adorable giant Peep decorations by The Seasonal Home.




If you have kiddos, I love this fun idea- plant jelly beans the night before Easter and in the morning the kids wake up to lollipops that “sprouted” up.  Lovely idea from Balancing Beauty & Bedlam.




If you’re looking for a super cute Easter appetizer, check out these adorable deviled egg chicks by Breida with a B.  There’s nothing devilish about these cuties.




But if dyeing eggs is more your thing, I love these natural egg dye ideas.  Yummy Mummy Kitchen was very clever and used natural dyes from things she already had in her kitchen like tea and wine.




If you’re looking for some more Easter ideas, you can check out my Easter dessert ideas post from last year.  Do you have any plans for Easter this year?

P.S. If you're pinning any of these images onto Pinterest, please click over to the original blog post and pin from their site.

Happy Weekend!  I’m a little late with this week’s Friday Faves, but we’re friends and you’ll forgive me right?  Awesome, I knew it!  Now, onto the faves:

10 Must-Know Measurements for Decorating from House Beautiful.  It answers questions I can never remember like how high to hang lighting fixtures.

And if we’re discussing decorating “rules” you should definitely check out this post with 10 tips for mixing fabric patterns from Home Decorating and Staging.  It has some really good info!

 

And how about a  big shout-out to Better After blog for featuring my desk makeover.  Woohoo!

You can see the feature here and read all about my desk here.

 

And finally, make sure you enter my Conscious Box giveaway!  You could win a 3 month subscription which will deliver a box full of natural and organic products to your doorstep.  Woot!

Friday Faves

Happy Friday!  I didn’t get a chance to share any projects this week, but I did find a ton of inspiration online.  Hopefully I’ll be ready to share some nursery updates with you next week.  Now onto what I was loving this week:

This very pretty office makeover at Two Twenty One.  I could get a lot of work done in a place like this!





This very cute diy wooden puzzle from The Handmade Home.  This would make such a wonderful and thoughtful kid’s gift!





This clever and easy no-sew tutorial to turn an old sweater into a cardigan on Instructables.  So clever, I must give this a try.




And finally, how about a big shout-out for daylight saving time!  Don’t forget to spring forward and set your clocks forward one hour this Sunday.  I love it when it stays light outside later in the evening!

Mustache Clock – Amazon

Anything strike your fancy this week?  Do you get excited by the clock change in the spring too?

It’s Friday, woot! You know what that means, time for another look back at some of the stuff I’m digging this week.

Mom 4 Real combined chalkboard paint and a ceramic tile to make this clever chalkboard tray.  Using tile is genius!





Lilikoi Joy stenciled this awesome accent wall.  She has a tutorial on how to make your own stencil too.




I am also loving this awesome website, wordmark.it which helps you choose fonts. It lets you see all of the fonts that are on your computer.  Just type in a word and you can see it in all of the fonts you already have.  I’ve already used it a bunch of times and it is so convenient! Below is a screenshot of what it looks like when I typed in the word “fonts.”  Thanks to Just a Girl for sharing this helpful tip.
 



Since babies are on my mind big time, I loved reading this article “5 Things I’d Forgotten About Having a Newborn” from Ask Your Dad blog.  His story of sleep deprivation had me laughing out loud (much funnier when it happens to someone else!) I also love this quote from this blog post, “I may have made some unnecessary remarks about why I shouldn't have to watch a show about Canadians redecorating their living rooms.”  Haha.  I can totally relate to that, I never even realized that pretty much sums up all of the HGTV I watch.



What are you digging this week?

Friday Faves

It’s Friday, yay!  It’s also time for another look at my favorite things from the past week, yay!

Check out this gorgeous waterfall pond from Oh My! Creative.  I would love to have something like this in my backyard, it’s beautiful and must be so relaxing.




How cute are these lollipop flowers that Oh Happy Day made from crepe paper, what a great idea.  A bouquet of these would be such a cute gift.




My Clever Nest was very clever to make this decoupaged mirror from napkins!  What a cool way to spice up an ordinary mirror.




Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons whipped up fun Abe Lincoln pancakes with her boys.  She has several other clever presidential pancakes on her blog.




In non-blog things, another one of my faves for this week is the Hunger Games Trilogy.  I know I’m behind on the times as this book came out a few years ago already, but I just finished it this week and loved it!




So that’s what I’m loving this week.  Has anything caught your eye recently?  Any book recommendations now that I’m done reading the Hunger Games?

Friday Faves

Happy Friday! I didn’t have to look very far for this week’s Friday Faves because they are all from some of my favorite daily blog reads.

You have to check out this adorable space themed nursery from Lemon Drop Life.  It is out of this world! (Sorry I couldn’t resist.)  But seriously check out the solar system wall, her little guy will love it!

 

Over at House of Hepworths, she completed her kid’s bathroom makeover including an awesome beadboard wall.  She made it look so easy, it makes me want to add beadboard to my bathroom.

 

And the Nester made these very cute feather arrows.  I think they’re such a cute decoration from Valentine’s day and a nice change from classic heart decorations.  Plus I’m in the middle of reading the Hunger Games trilogy so I have a thing for arrows right now, thankfully these are much cuter and less deadly than the ones in the book.

 

Have a great weekend!  I’ll be sharing more nursery updates of my own next week.

I come across so many great projects and photos online so I decided to start posting some of my favorites each week.  I’ll be posting anything that struck my fancy during the week here, whether it be something I saw on another blog, elsewhere online, or out in the offline world!
