Harder than I thought...

So I wanted to start writing in this thing a lot, that just hasn't happened. Life has happened and the world of blogging gets pushed to the back. Where to people find the time to blog daily or even every couple of days? I want to start writing every few days, I think it would be good for me and really I'm sure I have lots to share.


In fact I do have something to write about! Matt and I have started working on our bathroom. Our place is a rental so we didn't want to do too much but we plan on staying here for quite some time so also wanted to make it something we enjoy living in. At first we were just going to paint but when you get Matt into something he really gets into it :)

We've decided on a bamboo theme for the bathroom. We are painting the walls grey and I'm going to paint bamboo stalks on the wall.



This was my inspiration from Etsy. I'm not doing actual wall decals, I have a stencil image I found and am going to project it on the wall, trace it, and then paint it in. I am SO excited to try this.

We also found an awesome bamboo faucet. I'll put up more pictures later once we finally finished. It is going to look AWESOME! I'm very excited for this project.

We are trying to smooth out all the walls before painting so I had my first experience with plaster/mud, whatever you call it. I was nervous but it ended up being a lot of fun. Yesterday I came home to a disaster of a house. Matt had started sanding the walls and the "dust" was everywhere! Going to take a lot to clean this place after all of this, but I think it's well worth it!

I'll keep you updated about our progress! :)

New Beginnings

I've tried to do the blog thing before and I just can't ever seem to stick to it. Either I am too broad in my subject or too narrow and don't have enough to write about. But I've decided to try again.

This time my subject is still pretty broad but I want to write about the ideas I have flowing through me head. Crafty ideas, building projects, where I'm going in life, etc. I think since I'm in that growing up stage after college I've got so many ideas on what I want to make my life and I want to share that.

So I'll start off this new blog with where I am at currently in my life. I graduated from Arizona State University in December 2008 and moved back to Seattle to see where life took me from there. The next year was quite a bumpy ride but I made it out alive and now have finally started to settle down and think about where I'm going from here.

I've got a great job that I love! Great family whom are truly a blessing. An amazing boyfriend who I'm starting to make a home with. Officially I haven't actually moved in with him, my cats have to move over to make that official, but we do live together. We've been making some changes to his house lately which I think has gotten me thinking about crafty projects. We are also both trying to make an effort for a healthier lifestyle so we've been trying lots of new "healthy" recipes. I guess at this point I just feel like my life is finally coming together, I'm living my peaceful life. It is honestly pretty amazing. I feel content and excited for the future.

So I think that is where I will leave this introduction. I'm excited to begin a new blog and get more into blog reading. I've been finding it SO great! I hope you join me on my continued adventure in finding myself and my path for the future.
