I read this great article and was inspired to rewrite my
About Page! How is it that some people just know how to blog (and write great articles)!
Check it OUT (and let me know if there's something I missed that you want to see)!!!
The picture speaks for itself!! Love this idea!!!!!
This was
such a darling idea (on such a darling, tough, little guy) that I am going to HAVE to make one for my tough little guy. THANK you for this tutorial Cheri!!!!
I Love It!
P.S. I love MissDDT's Marketing Finds series, even though I don't really think of my blog as something I "market". Maybe I should change that? I have prettied it up a bit, but that's because it was so fun to do!

Yipee Skipee! My in-laws gave me a
table saw! I wonder how they knew I
wanted had to have one?
A
10 inch Skilsaw table saw. This baby will miter, rip, do dado and rabbet cuts - nice...
Look at her - isn't she pretty!

It's been a busy last 2 weeks, and blog reading has been put on the backburner.
But... I have seen a project or two that I thought were especially cool.
1. An unusual picture frame by Laurie @ Scene of the Grime
This gorgeous frame is made from a plastic garden border!
Makes you wonder what else can be made into a cool picture frame!

It's so hard to pick just some great projects for this week's Delicious-ness.
What's worse - I won't have time to do all of them (at least this week)...! Boo- hoo!
Still... these gals have got talent, and ideas, and class! Love it all!
1. Thrifty Decor Chick's "built-in" molding framed art! Oh my cat! This is gorgEous!

So the nursery is coming along nicely, but needs more wall decor.
And I know what you're thinking... what about those
cute wooden nursery letters that everyone and their dentist seem to have these days?
It is a great DIY project and I've seen some really cute ones in blogland.
The DIY Showoff (Roeshel) does a beautiful letter covered in pretty scrapbook paper!

1. Tripod lamp
I'll be honest and say that I've had my eye on this tripod lamp I saw on
CasaSugar for a while now (that post is dated... Feb 3,... yep, a while.)
I like her so much (Yes, her. I thought everyone knew lamps were girls.)
I wanna make one myself. Let's see... hmmm.... how about Saturday.
Wanna come back here on Saturday and make one? Great. It's a date!

1. As I was looking for nursery inspiration, I found
this wall quote.

Today I'm sharing some inspirations that have me crafting,... and doing more renovations in my master bathroom!
1. Wall Art from Better Homes and Gardens
This wall looks stunning. I especially like that it has a coherent color theme. I think it would look great in
Palm Breeze (Behr) green, in the nursery. The fact that some of the patterns repeat (but not all) adds even more interest, along with the variety of shapes and materials (glass, wood) used.
2. Make your own wallpaper decals

Go to
apartment therapy for detailed instructions. Check out the comments for more great diy tips!!
3. Ribbon dispenser
This looks like a great way to store a ton of ribbon...
if you don't have any pets or kids!
Then I saw this.
Ribbons stored in mason jars. Getting closer...
And then I knew just what to do! The perfect solution (at least for me), and
I'll show it to you all tomorrow!

When I find something cool on the internet (not always from a blog), I bookmark it with Delicious.
I have found some great inspiration this way even if it takes me
weeks months to get around to using the idea. This is the time, Tuesdays, when I will share these found goodies with you.
#1. Digital Day Counter

This one is going on my shopping list! We always have a 1/2 container of broth in the fridge that could be "only the cat knows" how old! (This would work well for pumped milk too.)
