video games

Last night after the babe went to sleep, I decided to whip up a little project for her nursery :)
I have had two of this vintage paint by number for quite awhile now.

When I saw this project on Pinterest, I knew it's what I wanted to do with one of them.
I decided to use a lyric from one of my newest favorite songs from Lana del Rey, Video Games (I also love the video).
And when I am with Amelia, it definitely feels like heaven on earth so I thought that lyric would work perfectly.

I adore it and I can not wait to hang it up in her room.

And for all you Hunger Games fans...you have to see this parody of Video Games.

Yeah, I love it. 

night all.

treasures...

We have this great little Antique Mall by our house that my mom and I like to hit up every once in awhile.  We haven't been in a few months so we decided to take a trip up their Monday evening in search of some pretty tea cups.

Well, I didn't find any teacups to my liking, BUT I did find some other super exciting treasures!  Check them out:

*  A Vintage Cross Stitched sign in excellent condition for our welcome wall:

* a HUGE crewel embroidery "Home Sweet Home" sign for our welcome wall :)

Look how good the wall looks now!

*  Two large vintage paint by numbers of horses that I literally squealed when I saw :)

These are going in the nursery for sure but I'm just not sure where exactly yet.

Everything I scored was in great condition and my bill was only $25!

Seriously, it was one of the most exciting treasure hunting trips to the Antique Mall ever :) This week has been a great week for vintage finds.

What have been your most recent favorite finds?

paint by number

Completing a paint-by-number painting was one of my goals for my 30 before 31.

About two months after making this a goal, a lost all interest in actually wanting to do one.  I was kind of sad because I wanted to be able to complete all of goals but decided to give it the big "whatevs."

Wednesday night of this week, I was cleaning in my studio and found one of the two paint by number kits that I own and was immediately excited and motivated to do it!

I worked on for about 30 minutes that night and left it sitting on our coffee table while I was away this weekend.  This afternoon, when I got home, I started working on it again...

A few hours later, and I finished it!!

Here are some progress pics that I took on my phone (not the best quality):

It was actually kind of fun, and rewarding :)  I have exactly one month left to complete all of my goals!  I am excited to share my progress with you all sometime this week!

Definitely check back!
