Oh hey, creativity!

I like to make things.

a lot.

I am sad to say that after having penny it takes me a WHOLE lot to muster up enough energy to make anything.  I got ideas…so. many. ideas.  but when penny is asleep and brett is out of the house, what I end up doing most is just sitting. and staring.  you know how everyones big advice when having children is “sleep when they sleep”?  in theory, that sounds great!  but when she is sleeping I want to stay awake and enjoy the silence.  I want to be aware that I have nothing to do.  I want to feel the nothingness and soak it up so that when she is awake again im not like…dang…I slept through my rest!?!

anywho…ive been getting the urge lately.  you know…that diy feelin.

so I made a michaels run with my dear friend faith and bought some canvases…one of which is a 40X60 BEAST that I have GREAT plans for.  of which I only paid 40 bucks for because michaels was having an absurd 65% off canvas sale.  WHAT!

so with my 2 other little canvases I decided to make a little simple something for our bedroom.

brett and I are kind of a mushy pair.  we are definitely THAT couple that says “I love you” probably a little too much.  one of my favorite things that we have been doing since we first started dating, is whenever we say good bye…he shouts out “YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!” and I reply “YOUR HANDSOME!”  I’m quite fond of this little farewell, so I took literally like 10 minutes and made it into some bedside “art work”.

If you are curious at all, our headboard was made by my dad and was actually our back drop on our wedding day!  I have SO many other home projects planned.  At the rate I’m going I’ll most likely finish one project every 6 months or so. Hopefully my creative spurts will be more frequent than that.
