Hey wonderful readers! I can finally say "goodbye" to Little Somethings by Little Lo Hood and "hello" to <a href="http://marigoldm.blogspot.com/">Marigold Made</a>.

Hi! Just wanted to pop in to tell you what I made for Mother's Day. I used some leftover fabric which I cut into 4x4 squares, sewed 3 sides, placed the lavender rose water mix inside, then sewed up the remaining side, then cut around the edge with zig zag scissors. These are really great ideas for a quick gift and will help you use up that stash of scrap fabric too. </div>

As such wonderful readers I wanted to share with you a very simple thank you note that I created. I used a ribbon label that I downloaded free from Pugly Pixel<a href="http://www.puglypixel.com/2011/10/12/arrow-labels/"> here</a>. You can get a direct link to this card by clicking <a href="http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o503/LittleLoHood/thankyou.jpg">here</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a screenshot for you above so it isn't quite as clear as the actual. I had to toy with the printing options as I'm not a pro at photoshop or special settings but it took me no time and then I put my card stock back in again to give myself two cards on an 8.5x11. Then what I did was punch a hole in the bottom of the card after I had folded it and tied a piece of string in a small bow (to close it). It ended up very sweet and simple. Remember, since I created this from tools from another source, use this for personal use only. I'm also very happy to be doing a giveaway over at <a href="http://thelovelyhunter.blogspot.com/2012/05/printed-peaks-giveaway.html">The Lovely Hunter</a>. Check it out if you'd like to win one of my necklaces. </div>

On Sunday, my boyfriend and I went down by the beach in the middle of a huge rain storm. He brought his Canon 7d and our super fat lens toy cameras. I will need to show you the film once I'm done with the roll. It was really fun hanging out at the beach with no one else around just exploring. I found a butterfly tucked between two rocks trying to escape from the pounding rain, which flopped itself on its back seemingly to protect itself. A truly beautiful sunday.<br />

I've always been in love with stationery and there is certainly something special about receiving a hand written note, am I right? How about receiving one of these? They are my absolute favorites.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been envying these photos for sometime now on poppytalk. I recently decided to make my own table but I did it a bit differently, still looking for the perfect thrifted wooden tray though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ITGKe2Q8TiA/T4cM7CZNc_I/AAAAAAAADCs/X4up5Ub63T8/s1600/IMG_4837.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ITGKe2Q8TiA/T4cM7CZNc_I/AAAAAAAADCs/X4up5Ub63T8/s640/IMG_4837.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
//BEFORE//</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you decide to do this make sure you sand your surface then clean it of any grit before painting. I painted the entire surface in a white gloss ultra cover premium latex paint from Rust-oleum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cfPDR3YEEFY/T4cOTl_dd1I/AAAAAAAADDE/gDDgCym5JUk/s1600/IMG_4844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cfPDR3YEEFY/T4cOTl_dd1I/AAAAAAAADDE/gDDgCym5JUk/s640/IMG_4844.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I used blue painters tape to tape off triangles.</div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7twjvXAJFO0/T4cQGhtUKtI/AAAAAAAADDk/nEreatFm3co/s1600/photo-5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7twjvXAJFO0/T4cQGhtUKtI/AAAAAAAADDk/nEreatFm3co/s640/photo-5.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I painted in each triangle different shades of grey and black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SJw8w1M2Azk/T4cPWb5vwhI/AAAAAAAADDc/Qhr4McHEw1s/s1600/IMG_4849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SJw8w1M2Azk/T4cPWb5vwhI/AAAAAAAADDc/Qhr4McHEw1s/s640/IMG_4849.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I went over the table with a polycrylic to finish it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been busier more than ever lately. I recently had my Graduate school interview and got a second job as a paraprofessional at a school. I've just been trying to get used to the new schedule. I also have some exciting news coming to the blog in a little while. </div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CcQTnH55xe4/T3XcAxQQiJI/AAAAAAAADCM/PQ0Wug96ZPA/s1600/4da7c0bc7a8011e1abb01231381b65e3_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CcQTnH55xe4/T3XcAxQQiJI/AAAAAAAADCM/PQ0Wug96ZPA/s640/4da7c0bc7a8011e1abb01231381b65e3_7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I was in desperate need of a necklace display for my<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrintedPeaks?ref=si_shop"> Printed Peaks</a> necklaces. I already had two circular wooden plaques that I had used but painted over in white. You can pick those up at any craft store, I got mine at Michael's. You need: - two cup hooks 1-1/2"(found at Home Depot) - two painted wooden plaques - an exacto knife - washi tape<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2_SRrjQ_M4/T3XcGmsEdOI/AAAAAAAADCc/d-5e78zQUNw/s1600/124de1427a8311e180c9123138016265_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2_SRrjQ_M4/T3XcGmsEdOI/AAAAAAAADCc/d-5e78zQUNw/s640/124de1427a8311e180c9123138016265_7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I merely taped in strips fairly close together. It actually looks like you did a great job at painting stripes. You could even do a bit of a gingham look if you desired as well. This is super easy and helps you keep your necklaces from being tangled.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful weekend!</div>

I went for a run down by the beach last week and the fog was incredibly thick. I walked along the shore and explored a bit. The simplicity of hearing the waves hit the beach and finding obscure objects and wondering their origin left me feeling so weightless and carefree.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this little wallet because I just absolutely love leather and have a bit left over from other projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this leather wallet you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-2 colors of leather</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-an exacto knife</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-sewing machin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-scissors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YLOtsbE0ekA/T1oVHy4I5jI/AAAAAAAADAQ/m9Qrj6Vi--A/s1600/leather1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YLOtsbE0ekA/T1oVHy4I5jI/AAAAAAAADAQ/m9Qrj6Vi--A/s640/leather1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut two pieces of leather, one larger piece in one color (brown) and one smaller piece (white)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MPhij4sjF0o/T1oWDQIEOOI/AAAAAAAADAY/2ylFbyWRhgU/s1600/leather2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MPhij4sjF0o/T1oWDQIEOOI/AAAAAAAADAY/2ylFbyWRhgU/s640/leather2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sew the smaller piece right sides together as shown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NkrZo7aCcSI/T1oW6m-S2MI/AAAAAAAADAg/1k7RsktiNnI/s1600/leather3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NkrZo7aCcSI/T1oW6m-S2MI/AAAAAAAADAg/1k7RsktiNnI/s640/leather3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turn inside out and you already basically have a little pouch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out a heart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qOSdkYyYo-4/T1oZp6U93lI/AAAAAAAADAw/Vd9re_AhkDk/s1600/leather5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qOSdkYyYo-4/T1oZp6U93lI/AAAAAAAADAw/Vd9re_AhkDk/s640/leather5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sew right side of heart to inside of your pouch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lhmm-dbS5o8/T1oafxobADI/AAAAAAAADA4/DmK9kXfrfkY/s1600/leather6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lhmm-dbS5o8/T1oafxobADI/AAAAAAAADA4/DmK9kXfrfkY/s640/leather6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be careful when cutting out your heart, pinch the leather (brown) in order to cut away from leather underneath. Use your exacto knife to get close enough to the edge of your seam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8XLI2dsGnrk/T1obbqKzkGI/AAAAAAAADBI/Ih5fRMHuOdg/s1600/leather8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8XLI2dsGnrk/T1obbqKzkGI/AAAAAAAADBI/Ih5fRMHuOdg/s640/leather8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out a hole on the top flap and on the inside to attach your leather handle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d0nWRB-AcvY/T1ob-2XDlKI/AAAAAAAADBQ/qQGQYkwwdQA/s1600/leather9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d0nWRB-AcvY/T1ob-2XDlKI/AAAAAAAADBQ/qQGQYkwwdQA/s640/leather9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I'm absolutely loving the above items but check out them prices. Here is my plan of action:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Thrift or crochet my own tank.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Thrift a denim jacket and turn it into a killer vest.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Find black and white striped leggings.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Buy the needsupply dress on sale or make my own plus sign stamp and make my own version.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you solve your wardrobe woes?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My Sunday was filled with all of the above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hanging with the pets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing the necessary grocery shopping and laundry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with some coffee time with my sweet boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some sleeping in and some relaxation.</div>

I've found myself in a few fashion genres through the years in which I could be easily identified and labeled and couldn't believe what I had worn after resurfacing on the other side. I've always found menswear to be super appealing, professional, and somehow really sexy when done right. Claire Geist of <a href="http://www.deluneblog.com/">De Lune</a> continually awes me when it comes to personal style and her ability to incorporate menswear. She seemingly effortlessly throws together somewhat androgynous looks that seem both casual and professional. Not to mention her ability to put together beautiful monochromatic outfits that show off her beautiful red curly bob. Style crush doesn't cut it, she is my style idol. Resurfacing after a blowout with vintage florals I've come a bit closer to my true personal style in appreciating menswear and look to Claire to guide me in ways of melding this trend into every day wear creating a more unique, put together look.<br />

My great grandmother has always crocheted and knitted afghans and little treasures for our whole family. These treasures are so loved by me and will be cherished for years to come. My great grandmother went into the hospital a while ago for a brief stint (she's totally okay and back home) but it made me think about crocheting and how it kind of dropped to the side as I went through college. I decided to pick it up again and crocheted a dark teal blanket, I have an unfinished red beanie, and my current project is a granny square bag. Check out the way Marisa Noelle styles her granny square bag over at <a href="http://shadesofmonetmd.blogspot.com/">Shades of Monet</a>, I love it.<br />

I'm thinking mine will be more of a spring bag because I'm using neon green yarn. Fun right?! Anyway I always love to keep busy and crocheting is certainly one of my favorites. I love the idea of carrying on a skill, especially one so versatile, in which I can pass onto children, grandchildren and maybe even great grandchildren. I find that this will lend itself to many stories about my great grandmother and she will forever be in my life.<br />
