3 for Thursday

Welcome to 3 for Thursday – a place where I talk about what’s happening in my life right now. Not always sensical, but always me. Sometimes a random collection of things, but really what’s happening…this week in my life.

1. This necklace. I saw a tutorial for these adorable leather pendant necklaces on Delia Creates (here). I just had to try it! I love how it turned out. The perfect addition to a casual outfit. I definitely need to do more jewelry…I’ve missed it.

2. Enjoying the last bits of summer. Been hanging by the pool. Trying to find time to head out on the boat. Really just savoring all those summer things before Ashley heads back to school, the weather becomes cooler and the leaves start falling off the trees.

3. Teen room redo. Well, this one has been a long time coming. Ashley’s room has bee pink and green forever…and she’s not a pink and green kinda girl anymore. I think we’re headed for some blues. Can’t wait to get it done so she has a comfortable space.

What are you filling your days with?

Welcome to 3 for Thursday – a place where I talk about what’s happening in my life right now. Not always sensical, but always me. Sometimes a random collection of things, but really what’s happening…this week in my life.

Lacrosse – watching this girl play. It’s her first year, and the school has only had the team for 2 years, but I love watching her play! I need to learn more about the rules, and what the calls are, but seeing her enjoy herself makes me happy.
Gelli printing – Yes, gelli printing. I’ve been taking this class – Printmaker Pro from Roben Marie Smith, and it’s been so inspiring. I start printing and realize that hours have gone by. Seriously. It might be an issue. But only because I forget to eat. And sometimes sleep.
Travel Notebooks – You can see the first one here. I can’t wait to make the next one. And a few for friends. But I’ll probably make about a dozen for myself. I don’t know exactly what it is about notebooks – but I.seriously.love.them. Partly it’s the process of making them too, I think. I just love doing things with paper, and making a notebook just feels incredibly useful. Even though I might never put anything in them. They are “for” something. Maybe that’s it! Either way, I’m going to make more.

What’s going on in your life this week?
