Ramblings, Sunshine and a Reveal

Just having fun sky watching.  

I swear this bird liked having his photo taken.

He kept circling back for more.

Or maybe he thought I was about to be roadkill or something....

(I believe he was a vulture)

When I was little I would play in my grandparents pool almost everyday in the summertime.

Well these vultures like to swoop down really low sometimes.

I remember always freaking out when they'd get too close to the pool.

I'm not sure who told me this,

but someone would taunt us (my younger siblings too)

 and say those vultures will pick you up and carry you away.

Complex much?

Well, I think I'm too big to be carried away now, so I'll take my chances.  

In other news...

Do any of you remember the post quite a while back...

 (sorry for that) 

about some projects I was working on?

Well I finished one!!

Let me set the scene.

It was cloudy most of the day.  

A few small showers.

I skipped yoga to cuddle in bed with the pup.

Then about 4 PM the sun started to peak out from the clouds.

And my bedroom was washed in a beautiful soft light that was so appealing to me.

So pair the happy sunshine with a little cold iced tea 

and I'm inspired to tackle a project!

{Disclaimer:  I can't sew, nor do I even pretend to know how... } 

Please forgive me all you crafty divas out there.  

I am not among the elite.

I had a sad, uncovered boring, white ottoman that has been begging me for a slipcover...

for at least three years now.

So I grabbed MY slipcover essentials:

scissors

fabric glue

left over burlap & ruffled trim from the Christmas tree skirt

jute twine

I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to slipcovers.

I like them sloppy.

And just started cutting and gluing.

And look what happened!

My ottoman was happy the sunshine came out too!

See that cute pillow too?

That is one of the pillows that I posted about yesterday.

Oh how I love it so.

Go to Harper and Henny and get a super fabulous pillow of your own.

I'm happy with the results.

Sure it was glued together... but I didn't spend any money.

Which = happy husband.

Happy husband + happy ottoman = Happy Me!  :)

Happy Thursday!!
