This month is chugging right along! Are you looking forward to celebrating Pi Day and St. Patrick’s Day? I’m down with any holiday that encourages dessert consumption! And if you’ve got any pie or St. Patrick’s related recipes or crafts, be sure to share them up at today’s Creative Spark Link Party!

“At Last” Framed Vinyl Word Art
I am moving at a snail’s pace when it comes to finishing up our Master Bedroom Makeover. We’ve added trim to our windows and new paint to our walls, but the finishing touches of furnishings and artwork are proving to be the most challenging part! At least this month’s Silhouette Challenge lit a fire under me to finally make some artwork that’s been on my to-do list for a while—framed vinyl word art using lyrics from our wedding song, “At Last” by Etta James. (cue the awwws)
Anthropologie Inspired Eiffel Tower DIY Ring Dish
I promised during Tuesday’s #SwapItLikeItsHot reveal to share the detailed step-by-step of how I made this DIY Ring Dish.
Our story begins on Saturday afternoon, as I was staring at a lump of modeling clay and an old china plate. I began by rolling out a section of clay, as I was originally planning to make a typical ring dish with a cylinder in the center. But, let’s be honest, those cylinders can tend to look like—ahem—something else. And mine was no exception. I asked Tom for his opinion. He kind of snorted.
A sure sign that I was on track to have my finished dish look like something else.
Creative Spark Link Party #44
Happy March my friends! In our case here in Cincinnati, it is definitely coming in like a lion (rain, sleet and snow, oh my!). So here’s hoping it goes out like a lamb in a few weeks. I am definitely getting into a Spring state of mind.
Are you ready for another week of inspiration at our 44th Creative Spark Link Party?
Thrift Store Makeovers: Swap It Like It’s Hot
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know I’ve been teasing a little about this week’s Flea Market Swap event, better known at #SwapItLikeItsHot, coordinated by the uber-talented Charlotte of Ciburbanity. (3 cheers for Charlotte!)
So, how does a #SwapItLikeItsHot work? First, everyone playing is assigned a fellow blogger. Then we all head out to our favorite thrift stores, flea markets, etc, to uncover goodies to send to our swapee. We mail our items to their recipients, dance giddily when we receive our own box full of goodies, and get to work reimagining what the contents can be!
