DIY project: Yarn balls

I LOVE this! I think i am going to start by making a few small ones and stick them in some clear vases. They remind me of snow balls!

bringing in a little holiday cheer

For a while now I have been collecting fallen acorns from the oak trees all over the city. I love these little guys around a large candle, but they can also be used on your table, or in a clear vase stacked high. If your not up for collecting them, or all the little critters have already taken them all for dinner, then I know pottery barn sells fake ones.

I also bought some rose hips from trader joe's. These stuck in a vase and put on a mantel, are a super easy way of brining  holiday cheer into your home.

Stay tuned for more easy and inexpensive ways of bringing in a little holiday cheer!

much love monday

So lately I have been feeling uninspired. Not sure why, but i decided that in order to get inspired i better start doing things that bring about inspiration, like blogging. Much love monday is an easy way to get going. Thank you to anna over at much love for this awesome way to share with the blogging community about what i am loving... So today i am loving my new smart phone and this retro camera application, and my beautiful kitties that make me oh-so-happy all the time! Here is to a beautiful day!
