these days...

so lately, my time has been totally consumed with this...

this is our classroom:) we have so much fun! i love it! if anyone out there is interested in homeschooling, but is unsure about it, just ask, and i will talk for days;)
but the other day, some friends and i snuck in a very fun craft!...here it is...

                

earrings!!! the colors are off because i instagrammed these... but they're so easy to make and sooo cute on!! here is the how to:
hand painted filigree earrings
you need:
ear wires- i used kidney ear wires from hobby lobby
acrylic paint
primer spray paint
clear spray paint
filigree wrap connectors (below-basically the earring part) ordered from etsy.


1. spray primer on both side of earrings. let dry.
2. paint a few coats of acrylic on each side and let dry in between. (i used foil to dry them on, because it didn't stick).
3. spray clear, 1 coat on each side, to finish. let dry.
4. attach ear wires....and whoa laa!! go out into the world with cute earrings!


hope you all have a lovely weekend!

new red coat...

so for christmas i asked for a red coat. and coats are hard to find for me. i am petite and have narrow shoulders and freakishly short arms... so to find a coat that fits me well and doesn't look bulky is a challenge. but then, one night while i was watching one of my favorite shows, 'parks and recreation' on nbc, leslie knope was wearing one of the most fabulous red coats i have ever seen!


you can watch the full episode here
Smallest Park

anywho...so i immediately googled 'leslie knope red coat' and discovered this red coat was within my reach... and it came in petite... and was on sale!! thank you j.crew. you are my friend:)


it's called the double-cloth metro coat in vibrant flame. i noticed leslie also rocks the hthr majestic purple in the episode 

 love it!!
