May 2013 Playlist

So, I don’t know if anyone else does this, it may just be me. I have this thing when it comes to music, where some music is winter music, and some is summer music and things just feel off if I listen to music in the wrong season. It’s important to note that the subject matter doesn’t always matter: some Christmas music sounds really summery to me, and some music about the summer or the beach feel like winter.

It’s more about the feel of the music, I guess.
Since it’s been in the 80’s here for the last few weeks, I’ve been dipping into my summer music a bit earlier than usual. I thought I’d make this playlist to share with you what “summer music” feels like to me, and to see if anyone else has this weird music habit.

Here’s my Summer Music 2013 Playlist!

Treasury Tuesday 5.14.13: Buttons!

Happy Tuesday! This week my treasury is all about BUTTONS! I absolutely love them. I have a button collection that I love to add to, and I'm always looking for both new and old buttons. 

And don't get me wrong- you can totally find some really awesome buttons for you to use on etsy. This week, however, I'm showing off some really cool finished projects that utilize buttons. There's some jewerly, some picture frames, some hairbows- just really cutesy things with some awesomely colored buttons in them.

How To: DIY Post Earrings

Have you ever thought it’d be cool to have like, LEGO earrings? How about buttons, or googly eyes? If you’ve ever seen an object and thought to yourself, “man, I’d like to stick that on my earlobe!” I’ve got some big news for you.

  

Be warned: this is less of a tutorial and more of a general "HEY, Did you know you could buy this?!”

Treasury Tuesday 5.7.13: Mother's Day!

It's almost Mother's Day, and if you haven't gotten a gift for your mother yet, you should probably get on that!

For this week, I've curated some of my favorite mother's day gifts from around etsy: everything from handstamped jewelry, to printed cards, and everything in between. If you like this stuff, make sure you go and favorite those listings on etsy, to help the creators.

To see my ideas for some great gifts, keep on reading:

Monday Questions 5.6.13

The offer we put in on the house got accepted! We’re officially moving to Virginia, hopefully by Memorial Day weekend. I very much need to start packing. A lot. But I haven’t yet, and that’s a problem. I’m really going to this week, I promise. (Please hold me accountable to this.)

Other thank that, not too much is going on—it was a bit of a slow week for me. I can’t really think of much excitement that took place this week, so you know what? Let’s just get onto those questions.

April 2013 Favorites

Happy May! I know I’m just a few days late, but here I am to share my April favorites with you! Again, I’m surprised at the decent mix of stuff that I’ve been loving lately. I always feel like I get stuck in a rut and don’t like many things, but apparently I do!



Let’s get on with it, then!
