Monday I baked all day in my lovely, workable kitchen (It felt awesome to be able to do this after years of cramped kitchens). I only did it with a little help from this-our favorite!
After the overload of peppermint meltaways, brownies, cream cheese bars and pumpkin roll I delivered the goodies to my neighbors and some relatives that live in the same town. Tuesday I became crafty-I know, you're thinking to yourself right now, "but Nik, you can't even cut a straight line!" Yes, I failed cutting in kindergarten (and skipping); these projects did not involve cutting straight lines, so it was all good. In our old house I had three nice frames with linen mats and some ocean prints in them. It seemed a waste to throw them out now that the beach theme has gone to the wayside. I had an extra pillow sham from my new bedding set, so I decided to cut it up and put it to good use in those frames.
Now and Then. I really like how it turned out. I also painted a shelf that I found in my mom's leftovers and it looks great too!Wednesday I took pictures to put in our new garden gate/vintage room.
The sky was the color of our bedroom walls. I am going to add some pics of the mantle I did a couple of weeks ago because my sister asked for them.
With a little inspiration from Nie. Mom saw it and didn't change a thing even though I asked her to.
Some of you are thinking, "so what?" I have always needed direction in the crafty department and it always comes from my mom. I didn't call her once. Although I am sure I will continue to call her whenever I am in a bind, crafty or not. So who is this new person that takes treats to the neighbors and crafts while her baby is sleeping? I'm not sure. What happened to the woman that wore suits and silk shirts and loved going out for sushi? I'm not sure about her either. She's in here somewhere, I was struggling to let go of her...but I think I am growing to like her replacement.

Look at you! I knew you had a crafty side in there just ready to bust out!! Great job on everything!
I'm proud of you Niki!! Everything looks awesome. Nice photography as well, be sure to post pictures of the garden gate/ vintage room.
i've always known you could be good at anything you tried. Only a little lack of confidence in the crafty area has kept you down!! (and maybe a few BAD experiences:)
Everything looks great!
Did I tell you that I LOVED your treats? And that I ate almost every single one by myself? Yep. They were that good. Thanks. Mmmmm.
