hi there! i have a bunch of cute DIYs to share with you over the next few days!
1. I fell completely in love with Marc Jacobs' adorable mouse flats the first time i saw them. They are quirky, yet still very wearable and sweet. They cost a pretty penny, though ($$$), and are unfortunately probably not within everyone's budget. Here is a cute DIY version which I would love to see adapted with different materials! I am planning to make some soon... maybe with vinyl, crystals and permanent ink! Maybe I should make a pair for my sister too? enjoy....
(gorgeous shoes by Marc Jacobs)
2. I've been loving all of the pretty wreaths lately in blog land! Here's the cutest one I saw last week [via Smile and Wave, via the adorable CandiMandi]. It's made from a thrifted shirt! genius.
3. and here are my two favorite free embroidery patterns [via Sublime Stitching]
Pugly & J'adore French Knots. so sweet! i really want to stitch the pug for my home.

that was fun.... i have a couple more groups of cute DIY projects to share this week, plus a super cute DIY of my own! Ooooh yes, and I completed my goals for my new year (27 things to do before I turn 28!) will share that soon as well! much love & welcome to a new week, elsie
























































welcome to a new week from me too, elsie :) !
I *love* your blog, thank you so much for having it. It is (and you are) so inspiring, gorgeous and lovely and make me so happy! Thank you so much.
Your new banner is so lovely!! But, hmmm... is there amy chance you'll post your old banner just once (in a post, as a regular photo, not change the banner again)? I just want to see it and to save it to my computer so I can see it over and over again... I'm sure it sounds stupid, but this old banner means so much to me (and the new one will too, after I'll get used to it :) ) and I don't want to think that I'm not going to see it again! Please...?
Thank you so much for *everything*!
