Is the weather playing tricks on you too?  I am freezing! When I made these fun pinwheel magnets the other day, it was 78°.  Perfect temperature for a springtime craft, right?  I made some new pinwheel hair clips for my girl the other day, and thought they would make cheerful little magnets.  I love ‘em.

Diy Vintage Door Plates For Wall Hooks

Happy Monday!  We finally found a house here in Dallas (long, long story) and it turns out I’m going to be living in a mid-century modern.  Think Mad Men meets The Brady Bunch – kind of.  Never thought I would like the look, but I have to say it’s growing on me.  I’ll have to [...]
