I’ve been working on a few projects recently. First, I have a TON of necklaces and earrings in this cute box I got from being in my cousin’s wedding.. you know the problem? Getting tangled and not really caring to wear any jewelry because you have to go look through the mess… yeah, that’s where I was a few months ago. So I’ve seen things like this before, so I decided to create my own! I got a piece of wood from Hobby Lobby and four door knobs {50% OFF!}. I got some interesting ones that I loved! I painted the board brown and then had my boyfriend screw in the knobs. Unfortunately, during the time of actually making it, was when my camera was being retarded, so I didn’t get a step by step of the process, but I have some finished product pics!
Also… I’ve been wanting to decorate a wreath and this is a wreath that was definitely made on a college budget! First, we were the crazy people on Thanksgiving Day that went to Michaels for their Black Friday Sales! I got a ton of decor items for my apartment for SUPER cheap! So I had this thing on pinterest I was wanting to make (you can read about that here) and so the items I bought that day were mainly to make that, but I definitely had some left over, so I used the leftovers to decorate my wreath to hang outside my front door. I haven’t hung yet (oh, I tried… a lot! but I just couldn’t make it work) so I’m waiting on the boyfriend to come over to do it!
On a last little note, I’m sitting here… (excited about my new projects I got done today!) and eating a bowl of oatmeal… Is there anyone else out there who likes their oatmeal to be more like cereal? I know, it’s weird… I put some oatmeal in a bowl, add more milk than needed, microwave for 1 minute, add a little cinnamon and sugar… and let it stay a little soupy. haha Just wanted to share my favorite way to eat oatmeal since I’m eating it right now! Is there a certain way you like to eat oatmeal? And do you think I’m a little strange for eating mine this way? (It’s OK if you do!)
I love the jewelry hanger you made. It’s so pretty. I can’t believe it’s DIY, awesome job! I’m also loving your holiday blog design 🙂
Love the new blog! Those door knobs are so cute! I really want to run over to hobby lobby and pick up the stuff to do this! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
