We were awakened by thunder and lightning at 6am this morn and now it's super grey and dismal out, so strange! But this weekend? This weekend was a ball of sunshine and I got so many projects done!
On Saturday morning we walked to breakfast and then went to the nursery to pick out some new pretties. And then I had a lovely crafternoon with my friend Ronit- we went to Goodwill to pick out some basic tees and stuff and then tried our hands at bleach tie-dyeing ala Honestly, WTF! Verdict? SO MUCH FUN. Although I kinda overbleached one of mine, I think- practice makes perfect tho, right? I wanna do it again!
Then on Sunday, the mister and I got our first coat of blue paint up in the office- bye bye yellow! We're keeping one wall behind a big bookcase yellow, but the agean blue is a breath of calm and cool fresh air. The mood feels so different in there, I love it so far! (I'll show final pics once we're all done, of course :) And later, in the afternoon shade, I planted some zinnias, straw flowers and a flowering maple to cover the eyehole where our big lupine & foxglove used to be (they're done for the season now.) And I planted some lillies and yarrow in another spot to hopefully come back next year. And my last bit of energy was spent giving myself a neon orange pedicure (thanks, R!) Phew! Was a fun one.
Work on any projects this weekend? Hope you're having a good Monday so far and happy week!
PS: My friend Jen from the DIY Lounge is looking for people to lead workshops for the Hello Etsy PDX conference coming to town in Sept- interested? Details over on Jen's blog!
