See A Penny...

One of the many reasons I love Pinterest is because you can see a ton a wonderful ideas without spending a bazillion hours searching the web, like this super cool penny floor. The folks over at Revolver installed about 340,000 pennies by hand, talk about some tedious labor, but man does it look cool. It is things like this that make me want to become a home owner. I can imagine this as the floor in a small bathroom, or even a kitchen. However I soon realize that being a home owner comes with tons of other stuff and so I write out another rent check and go along my merry little way. 

P.S. I have to wonder if this floor smells funny, like a jar of loose change.

To Dye For.

Of course Martha Stewart would have a wonderful app that I can purchase to help me achieve perfectly dyed eggs. I really should not be allowed to check the app store, or the Martha Stewart website for that matter any longer. However, at only $0.99, this is a purchase that I will not feel guilty about. Hey it's cheaper than the music I impulsively purchase from my phone.

And if you need any further convincing that you NEED this app check out the video below

Taking Time.

I spent a majority of the day organizing craft supplies. I enjoy making things, learning from other creative people and with no design classes this semester I am a little afraid that I will not take the time to push myself to be creative. I am trying to challenge myself to see things differently and to reach outside my comfort zone in a variety of ways, this blog being one of them.

I have enrolled in an online blog class and am a bit humbled by all the creative people that I will get the opportunity to learn from over the next few weeks. I am sure that things will grow and transform over here as I become more comfortable and I will begin to share little things that I find lovely and interesting in addition to my photo project for you all.

I appreciate all the support that I have received over the past few days from my family as I begin this journey to try and slow down and enjoy the scenery a little more. After all isn't it the small details that make life worth living?
