Anthro-Inspired Plate

I've been attempting to redecorate my room lately, and so far, the process, if a bit slow, is going well, and my room is looking lovely. Anyway, a couple weeks ago, I took an old blue plate that I had found in a drawer, and remade it to look like an Anthropologie plate that I had seen in their catalog.

Theirs:



Mine:



It's simply freehand sharpie. Pretty cute, huh? It was tricky, though, since I couldn't erase anything! But I like how it turned out, and it looks perfect with the rest of my decor.
Very simple and easy, if you're good with freehand.



She isn't quite the same, but then I'm always super critical of my drawings. It's similar, anyway!

I have more posts coming soon, so bear with me!

Post #50! & Blog Makeover

Hi, everyone! It's been awhile since I last posted, almost a month! But I promise that I have some cool stuff coming up. I just finished downloading all my photos, so be prepared for at least a couple posts in the next few days.

First things first, what do you think of the new blog? I really love how simple and clean it is. I had it made over by Paige of Simply Handmade by Paige, and I think she did a really great job. She has a great blog, with lots of sweet tutorials -

Like these:

Very cute, right? =)

Paige also has a very sweet etsy shop called Pink Lemonade, where she sells some of her creations. My favorites include:

This headband:


& this bib necklace


Definitely check out her blog and shop. You're guaranteed to find something you love.

The Fungus Among Us

Don't ask me why (I don't know myself), but mushrooms are one of my loves. Those swollen masses of fungal mycelium really get to me. They're so tiny and sweet (some of them, anyway), and remind me of the fairy circles I read about as a little girl. I recently discovered several clumps on a hill, to my delight and my parents' dismay. And since it was such a lovely day, I went out (still in my velvet and tights from the capelet post) to photograph them.


This guy was a loner with an interesting shape.


It looks like an animal may have taken a bite out of this one...

And I took a couple flower pictures as well, since it was so sunny and they looked so cheery in the light.





And do you want to know something strange? Though I may love to study and look at mushrooms, I can't stand to eat them.(:

Have a lovely day~!
