After spotting these wooden eggs at my local craft store, I decided it was time to finally open my wood burning kit and try my own twist on the Easter egg.  Though I definitely could use more practice, I loved the results.....let alone this new found hobby.  I especially like the idea of using these as part of an Easter table setting:

  

I've been seeing so many beautifully decorated Easter eggs this year, and thought I would share with you my favorites.  For those of you short on time, some of these only require five minutes!   

I'm going to ignore the snow on the ground and the forecast for continued snow.  Spring (weather) is just around the corner and I can hardly wait.  I've always thought of it as a magical time of year, watching everything come to life.  Here's to Spring, and more time spent outdoors!

It's no secret that I have a thing for abstract art, but it's not often that a piece really catches my eye like this first painting did.  While a lot of abstract art can be too loud/harsh for my taste,  I find this piece strangely calming....a good companion on a cold rainy day.  I couldn't help browsing through the rest of Emily Gherard's portfolio, it's really is lovely.  

My cousin and her husband recently bought a home that has required a little TLC, and one area in particular was the flooring.  Upon pulling up the old carpet, they discovered cement floors.  My cousin was concerned that the cement would leave their home feeling cold and uninviting.....and since talking with her,  I have been on the lookout for cozy interiors with cement flooring.   So here is a short roundup if you find yourself in the same boat.
