BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve, all, or, as I said to my son this morning, Happy Spidey-Friday Eve, since he's a huge Marvel fan and the latest Spider-Man movie comes out tomorrow. We'll probably wait until it streams, but he'll for sure see it this weekend. 

I hope you've all had a great week and are holding up whatever your weather may be doing. It's wild everywhere, it seems. 

It's also "Augtober" starting tomorrow, as I saw referenced on Insta. Lots more Halloween goodies are hitting the stores, and I'm guessing that with August, we'll even start to see a bit of Christmas coming in. 

But before we get into those seasons, let's take a look at some of the great ideas from last week's party! 

Sonata Home Design shared how to add a great addition to your garden by turning a Repurposed Picture Frame Into Garden Art


handmade by amalia shared a creative and whimsical idea with her Art Exhibition Diorama. Art for art's sake is always a good idea. 


Scratch Made Food for Hungry People shared a different kind of recipe; DIY Woolen Dryer Balls. I use dryer balls when washing our comforter and pillows and need to make some of these because mine are way too noisy!


Finally, Summer is peak strawberry season, and this Homemade Strawberry Cake Recipe from Ann's Entitled Life is a perfect way to use them. 

Thanks to everyone who linked up, and Happy Creative August!

BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve, all! I can't believe we're almost at the end of June already and you know what today marks? SIX MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! This is not a drill. Time seems to speed up even more from here on out. 

Speaking of which, I was in my happy place this week when I stopped in Michaels (a happy place given!) and (I know this will make some eyes ROLL) they have HALLOWEEN! EEK! 

I even did a post about it! 


But yes, I know it's still Summer, and there were some very fun projects shared at last week's party so let's take a look at a few!





Let's start with this GORGEOUS Lane Cedar Chest Update from Petticoat Junktion. You really have to see the transformation. We're watching the show "Castle Impossible" on HGTV, and it looks like a piece that would fit in one of the rooms! 


Fresh Vintage by Lisa S shared how to transform vintage linens into a Vintage Linen Purse


Handmade by Amalia shared how to use fresh flowers to make these BEAUTIFUL Floral Cookies. I wholeheartedly agree with her post title: "Life is Short. Eat the Cookie". 


Finally, I keep seeing the "dot cake" trend everywhere. Walking on Sunshine has miniaturized it with these Mason Jar Chocolate Chip Dot Cakes. Why is everything more fun in miniature? 


Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!
