::i will be making this::

I'm a big fan of twine, hemp, lace + string. I use it pretty often for all sorts of crafts + packaging. I found this string holder DIY on Lover of Vintage and it's such a simple and easy idea for an old metal hanger. It doesn't take up much space, and those metal hangers are so pesky in the closet. I can't wait to try this one out.

::DIY // inspiration (clip)boards::

Since we're just renting until we find a home one day, it's difficult to decorate the place. I'm reluctant to purchased wall decor (like this) until I know it will work in our future space. So as an alternative, I've gone for a cheaper and less wall-damaging form of wall art. I found this image and did it myself.

I'm a huge fan of mixed-media and thought this would be a perfectly easy way to incorporate lots of things that inspire me. When I spotted four clipboards on the shelf at the thrift store this weekend, I was ready to start creating...



I went through my craft drawers and picked out things too pretty to be stored away. I tried to use things with different colors, textures and materials like metal, paper, cotton, leather, and plastic. After assembling each board, I hung them on a blank wall. I'm sure they'll change often as I find new things and cross of some of the projects that are up there.
