Northern Cottage Party Features 3.26.12

 

YOU guys ROCK!!

Take a look at these FANTASTIC features from the last Northern Cottage linky party:

here’s a really fun spring mantel from swirly girl dreams and décor
{I think we may have been on a similar wavelength
when I put together our mantel}

mmmm an awesome display from crows feet chic

this girl always has the most amazing recipes
(check out these fries and ketchup – NOT!) from shaken together

awesome diy yard makeover at little house in the big d {she really put her boy to WORK!}

I have a teeny tiny little addiction to galvanized metal so this was right up my alley from green willow pond – let the galvanization process begin!

pretty plant holder (& check out the cute shed while you’re there) over at
under a pile of scrap

awesome diy dresser redo at imperfect patina
{great blog name eh?}

52 mantels shares gorgeous mantel displays and her spring mantel is no exception

we’re gonna make your mouth water with nifty thrifty’s black forest bundt cake, am I right? whoa nellie! that looks WAY TOO good!

if only I really knew how to sew, I’d have to find a little girl and whip up a dress like bumblebees and sophie did

darling diy soap jars from design dreams by anne

fresh flowers displayed so cutely (is that a word?) at city girl gone coastal

check out this fun fresh doily banner from creatively living outside the box 
extra bonus that she made it with the kiddos!

and
my friend Angelina (Ruby Jean) has revealed the most amazing
sewing room/studio ever (fab, right?)

----------------------------------------

In the coming weeks, I’m stretched quite thin (if only the rest of me would be automatically made thin like that!)
with work projects,
business travel,
family stuff
(like science projects, dance class, baseball season opening, etc),
trying to run more (for me!)to prep for the first 5 k of the season,
etc, etc, etc.

So, really, what I’m saying is that

I’m BUSY

like all of YOU!

and I have to admit that

I can’t keep up on it all

{anyone who does parties knows they are a.lot of work!}

so….the linky party is going…
on vacation, too!
on a little hiatus….
on sabbatical…
‘on holiday’…
(did you hear my British voice saying that? ha!  Did you READ it with a British accent?)

But, of course, I’ll still be blogging and creating and making stuff and taking pics and visiting y’all and enjoying YOUR creations!

So take a breather with me…

Relax

Gear up for an amazing spring/summer

Get some projects DONE!

Hang with your family!

Enjoy the Sunshine!

and I’ll let you know if when the party will start back up!

xoxo
(smooches to all of you!)

A Layered SPRING WREATH & a party!

 

this project started off with some very humble beginnings:

a wire frame that I spray painted for a white base

and a fat quarter of fun fabric

that I literally tore to shreds!

ha!  I’ve always wanted to do that!

Each of the strips was cut in half

and tied to the frame

I did trim off some of the shredded edges and loose threads

{but I actually liked that frayed look so did leave a lot of it}

then I hung it on the front door

along with some light beady swag

and an old vintage metal mailbox
{peeking out from behind}

So this turned out to be a quick, inexpensive

happy

little

project

that makes me smile every time I open the front door!

check out this pretty rag wreath too – this pin got my butt in gear to whip out my wreath

Northern Cottage Party FEATURES

 

Our next PARTY TIME
linky will open later today!

If you were here last week looking to link up at the Northern Cottage party time Tuesday…I fell off the party wagon!

I had a post all put together last week with my fav features  and was reviewing one last time before publishing and then… my computer just shut itself down
(ummm - no idea why) and the post draft was lost.

errrghhhh!

so I scrapped doing that post last week
(so wanted to apologize for being missing in action but I was so frustrated and just not feeling it)
but…
that means we’re all fresh & ready to get our groove on this week!

---------------------------------

We have some wonderful features to share:

take a look at the elegant baskets made new again from kimberly hites

make some of your own diy bakers twine (you can use it for EVERYTHING!) from nifty thrifty things

simple but oh so cute diy apron from directions not included

check out this gorgeous chevron dresser from the magic brush inc

YUM!

a great new red table from vintage restyled

how about some irish cream donuts – mmm

cakeballs, cookies and more

miss char shared her awesome room redo

ruby jean shared a darling (as usual for her) springy sewing project with us (love the fabric choices so much – how fun for spring!
