5 random things…

by

1.  When in a dilemma of how to coordinate one self with your son’s school colors for spirit night & the high school football game (his school is K-12)…make a rosette cluster. Worked like a charm & was so fun to wear!
The shirt is from Old Navy.  I also think these would be a fun twist on wearing school colors & a rosette cluster together.  I posted this on FB a few days ago, but thought it would be fun to share here too.

 
All of a sudden, I’m having a major crush on raw edges on anything pertaining to fabric.  I just think it’s a beautiful look.  What do you all think. 
Yay or Nay?

2.   I only tried one recipe from blogland last week & this was it:
Easy Asian Chicken Salad:
Find the complete recipe over at Happy the Home .  She linked this up a long time ago to the Spring Fling Party & I finally tried it.  The crunchy uncooked Ramen Noodles always captured my interest.  It was yummy.
3.  This school schedule is for the birds.
I have lost my groove!  I don’t know if I’ll ever find it again.  This early morning routine is killing my blog, tweet & project time.  I think most of you know, I’m a night owl, so this early morning stuff is not cutting it with me.  It’s even hurting the twins nap time.  Yes, I know we’ll adjust but when???  I need to find my groove in a hurry!
4.  Guess what I finally did???
I started sanding my thrift store dining room table last week.  eek!  I had to special order the finish I’m going to put on.  I am so excited to see what it will look like when it’s all said & done.  Hopefully, it will be debuting again soon.
5.  Nest of Posies’ shop is sponsoring a giveaway at Tatertots & Jello.  The fabulous Jen is celebrating 3 years of blogging & I’m thrilled to be a part of the celebration!

  9. Hi, Kellie!

    Visiting from TT&J.. and I am thinkin’ it’s a definite “YAY!” in regards to the raw edges on your rosette cluster!!

    Love that look!

  10. I’m visiting from TT&J and became a follower after reading your blog for a while! Love your shop too! I say raw edges are a yay, not only are they beautiful but so much easier too, double yay if you ask me!

  14. What a beautiful rosette cluster and a great idea!!! My husband is going to start teaching at a new school next week – I might need to make myself one of those pretties! 🙂

  16. Another new follower right here…found my way to your blog and shop through TT&J. Many thanks to you for offering your fabulous bags for this giveaway. Purses and bags are a passion of mine, because they always fit! Unlike cute shoes or clothes, a beautiful bag never disappoints!

  28. I’m feeling the same way you are in number 3. I just started blogging, but with a full time job and full time school it is hard not to want to just go to bed after. Loving the why you post your updates though.
