Day 148: First Snow

I woke up yesterday morning to find this going on in my backyard. I knew it was going to snow, but I had no idea it was going to snow 6 inches! The leaves haven't  quite fallen off all the trees yet, so even though it was quite beautiful a lot of Denver homes were without power yesterday. I lucked out.

Boots: Macy's $60, Socks: Wal Mart $1, Tights: Wal Mart $3, Sweather: F21: $20, Jacket: Gift from my lova, Scarf: Maurices Gift from my Momma. Picture Frame: Free!

 

So now, with all this snow, I can really bust out the cozy sweater, boots, and oh yeah..did I mention I got a present awhile back? 

Remember how obsessed I was with this jacket from Gap but how I couldn't afford the hefty price tag? Well I guess somebody was reading my blog and wanted to brighten my day. The card read, "sorry I couldn't get you a real present on your birthday Love, Josh" I love that boy. He actually reads my blog too!

It is also Thrifty Thursday...mine is more like "Dumpster Diving Thursday". Yes, I do this from time to time because my neighbors leave all this perfectly good furniture in their back alleys all the time. I mean who throws out this perfectly good (but slightly dirty) Antique chair. The price tag....free!

I mean, how awesome is this fabric?

 I have a project in mind for the picture frame for my new "Craft Studio" area, as a jewelry display!

 

Ok, I know it is a bit dingy, I've tried upholstery cleaner, Oxiclean and I've Febreezed the puddin out of it. Anybody know any tips for getting "dingy-ness out of fabric?" 

If I can't get the dingy-ness out, I am going to just take the fabric off and  make these:

I like the red one with some poinsettias for Christmas Gifts....what do you think?

Aint nothing in this world like a little dumpster diving!

Day 145: Case of the Inspiration Mundays.

"Looks like somebody's got a case of the MUNdays!"

Little quote from office space to start your week. I love that movie. I'm not so crazy about my outfit today, but the inspiration for this week over at Two Birds Inspiration Monday is Sarah Jessica Parker (my fave) so I had to participate.

 And here is my take (yawn)

Shoes: Goodwill (Target) $5, Jeans: Goodwill (Target) $6, Sweater: F21 $20, Shirt: Target $10, Necklace: Made by Moi

Don't get me wrong I love me some oversized sweater action, but it is supposed to be 74 degrees in Denver today! However, tomorrow we have a forecast of 32 and snow....ahhhh Denver in the Fall. So unpredictable. But I love it. The outfit is not inappropriate, however, as I am doing a lot of stuff around the house today, which is always a balmy 55 degrees, no matter the temperature outside. Ahh exposed brick and wood floors.

The new roomie moved in all of her stuff yesterday so I am moving and shaking things around in the living room, trying to get it all situated. I'm also looking at craft studio inspirations, hopefully her and I can come to an agreement about how to use our space. She will have to have a home office and I just have to have somewhere to craft/create jewelry masterpieces!

Some Craft Studio Inspiration Monday:

I like the "Craft Studio" lettering on the wall.

Get organized!!

Use some color!

Or perhaps pops of red.

Jewelry display a must!

 Have a good Monday party people!
