Hello lovelies!
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been moving my creative space to my living room. Its coming along nicely. I thought I would share a little sneak peek of what I have going on so far.
Pedro decided he was not going to move for this picture.

Hello loves!
I’ve been obsessing over indoor gardening lately and I thought I would give it a shot.
I actually started with an avocado plant but I’ll post about that in the near future. In the container above I planted some mix lettuce seeds.
I took a plastic container and poked holes in the bottom and set it on top of its top.
Then I filled it with potting soil and planted my seeds. The seeds have been in there for about 3-4 days and I already have some sprouts!
Hopefully I’ll have a fresh organic salad in 30-50 days. I’ll update as it grows.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello loves!
I’m in love the the whole layering bracelet trend/style. For a while now I’ve been wanting to add some bracelets to my shop that are good for layering. I do have some there now. Here’s a few:
But these ones I made with layering in mind.
“Swoon” I’m in love with them all!
You can find them all in my Etsy shop!

Hello loves!
Picking which colors to use for a project is my favorite part about creating. We all know that almost any color goes with a neutral. But what about putting color with color?
You can use a color wheel to help you, but I don’t like to follow rules when it comes to creating. It feels forced.
What I like to do is place the colors I want to use together to see how they look next to each other. Now I have used colors I didn’t not like together in a project. But! I did not put them side by side. They did not meet and the finished item was beautiful.
When I have colors in mind that I want to use together and they’re not looking so good I look for a different shade and or finish of one or all the colors.
The finish and shade of your materials plays a big role in creating something pleasing to the eye. When it comes to finishes I like to use 2-3 different ones in one project.
What I mean by finish is the texture/look of your materials.
I think shade is important too. I think the shades you use depends on the style of the item your making. Lets take this springs top tread, NEON! Now I know neon is not everyone’s cup of tea… but it’s mine! Neon colors can be hard to put together. The best way to us more than one neon color is to limit it to 2. Another good way and this goes for other colors too, is to break up the colors up with a neutral. Don’t let the colors meet, just stick a neutral between.
I use a neutral to break up color when I feel like my color combination is looking a little clownish or kiddish. That wouldn’t bother me if I was going for one of those looks.
The best neutral colors to keep on hand in my opinion is black, white, brown, silver, and gold.
I know you may be saying silver and gold are not neutral. To me they are. I haven’t really come across a project that wouldn’t look good with either or.
When all else fails. Black and white is your friend
