Clifford the Big Old Cactus

I love it when neighbors move out.  Last week, we found that crappy dresser we turned into our super fun plant stand and outdoor bar.  Then yesterday, we found a new “pet” to adopt (strange statement explained here)!  When I got home from work, I found this guy waiting on the curb for a good home!

His name is Clifford and we love him. I think he kind of looks like a non-cuddly Muppet, no? We decided to put him on a table for now because we were afraid Bo would get too curious for his own good and end up with cactus spikes in his nose! We are still trying to figure out where his permanent home should be but plan on giving him some TLC in the meantime. Our backyard has certainly become cacti central after the past few weekends (case and point). They make the yard a happier, brighter, spikier place. :)

Projects Page Makeover!

Hello all!  I know I have been quiet for the past couple days but I assure you the reason is exciting: I have been working on a new editing gig at work that is awesome but very time consuming/exhausting. So my brain power has been zero once I leave the edit bay.

However, I managed to do a project I have been wanted to scratch off of my list forever… a project page makeover!

Not only did I add all of my projects up to date, I also included a photo of each one to make it easier to find what you are looking for!  You can look for projects by room or by type.  As always, I welcome ideas and suggestions about how to make it even better so please feel free let me know these thoughts below! :)

California String Art- San Fran Edition

I know I have already posted about making custom string art but I made a custom Etsy order this week that I felt like sharing!  It was an anniversary gift for a couple that just moved to San Fransisco.  I think it would be great as a housewarming or wedding gift as well!

Step-by-step instructions are here.  Like I said in that previous post, this project is easy in theory but a lot can go wrong and it can take much longer than you think. If you don’t have the time, energy, patience, or DIY know-how, I am more than happy to make you one myself! Check out my Etsy store for more details!  :)
