million miles a minute

my brain gets stuck on something and i just can't let it go {whatever it may be}

10 reasons why my brain can't rest....and quite possibly in order....

1//painting

i love paint. whether it is on a wall, frame, furniture or canvas i want to paint it. a picture on canvas for our dinning room is what is on my mind. i have it invisioned already.

2//sewing

i would love to make some pillows for my bed and a valance for our living room & steele's room. i also am in need of a new high waisted flirty skirt. i'm not much for patterns so we'll see what i come up with....

3//interior design

i can't get wall paper out of my mind. i love graphic yet soft wall paper. also great eclectic lighting. i just finished helping my mom design her new house and we found an amazing vintage chandelier. they remodeled their home and added on a great room. it was the time of my life. i'll have to post pics of how it turned out. love it.

4//crafting

i have really enjoyed a few of my friends posts about their creativeness! its fun to create something that is you and your style. here are a few of my creations and all of which were totally experimental.

{the slippers were for steele but i think they turned out kind of girly...is it dangerous to put these babies on him?}

{i took an old cardigan that i was about to toss and dressed it up by tacking a few navy buds on the collar}
{and just a few cute first time trial flowers}

5//wood carving

i've got this idea in my head of carving a sail boat for above steele's bed. don't know where that came from. that sprung from my restless night.

6//organization 

if anyone really knows me, they know i struggle with organization. yet i still yearn for a house of order. shelves of perfectly folded clothes, drawers and cupboards with no clutter, an office with bills filed away. somehow this fairytale never becomes a reality for me. why? simple, because i'm me. two, three days of perfection and it's back to the same old clutter.

7//hair

worldly, i know but i'm outrageously and utterly sick of my hair. i've gone from blonde long to blonde short, brown long brown short and every where in between. i've even had a platinum spot in the back of my hair. i've never done red because....well....it just doesn't seem right. i've cut straight across bangs and done the wavy curls thing. anyway the result. i'm stuck with my same old mom hair. brett is encouraging me to grow my hair out because he likes it long but with my hair type (crazy fine with absolutely NO volume). i think it looks best short and dark. i truly, honestly want your opinion. most of you have seen me with all of these styles.

8//food

i said enough in my last post....

9//blogging

i’ve really enjoyed blogging lately. i like getting my thoughts in writing. it is very therapeutic.

10//flowers 

i would love more than anything to bring the outside beauty in more often. i adore wild flowers and need them on my table. the light airiness of a floral centerpiece just might make my week. i scoured the web looking for a bundle of flowers that were to my liking. and.....none. maybe i'll have to go out in search for my idealic centerpiece and create it myself.
