My Saturday was almost completely consumed by making felt board stories. You think it would be lots of fun. And it is. For the first two hours. By the fifth hour, all energy and will power to continue is drained. 
Remind me, if I ever make these again, to never leave them to the weekend before. Bad planning on my part. Usually I break the work down- but I thought that it would be easy. WRONG. 
I guess this blog post is a "I have so much to do, how can I feel good about procrastinating" post. 
So I have nothing interesting or insightful to share. 
Just a hello and a here is what I'm doing. 


I watched Pocahontas for a study break. It was the best! I love that movie. The raccoon is pretty much the best part of the whole thing. His little faces get me every time.

What's your favourite Disney movie?

Inspiration Board

Lately I have been using pinterest like crazy. Using it for ideas for crafts for my preschool practicum, for knitting projects and cute quotes. 
I finally got a little fed up with how much it took up my time. But I loved the ideas. So I decided to make one in real life. And thankfully I had a corkboard I wasn't using and a pile of magazines. 
And thus, this was born:

How I did this was go through magazines and pick out things that I liked. I found other bits and pieces along the way. It's all about keeping your eyes peeled for useful things! And without really trying, a theme often arises. A very girly board for the month of February. All about renewal and fresh and life being good. :) I always leave space for more to be added throughout the month.
And what do I do with it once the month/ period of that inspiration changes? I simply stick it in my journal. January was obviously somewhat birthday themed. :)
Mary Margaret from one of my favourite TV shows, Once Upon A Time. 
The cover of a news bulletin from a church I visited.
Magazine clippings of what "love" meant to me- family. 
A colourful guitar pick I found.
If you don't have push pins, you can use earrings! Those are stuck in the bow that I knit. :) Which was kind of an accident. 
An origami crane from a friend. 
A pair of crazy pants I want.
My favourite beauty product- Josie Maran's Argan Oil
A Bible verse. 


This project has inspired another one. Which I will share soon! :)
