I have recently developped a small obsession with burlap. It's textured, it's cheap and it's oh-so-trendy right now for home decor. After seeing multiple DIY projects involving burlap, I hit the fabric store and got myself some for my own DIY.
This is so simple, so quick, and so awesome. All you need is a hot glue gun, a frame, a small piece of burlap (to fit your frame) and some sort of embellishment (a coin, ribbon, a bead, a button, etc. Be creative!).
{ burlap, $4/metre }
{ thrifted frame, $3 }
{ I pulled this 'coin' off an old candle }
Cut burlap into size of frame's window (mine is 3x3)
Using your hot glue gun...
... Attach your embelishment to the burlap
Insert burlap square into frame
Voila!

They're here! My wedding shoes have arrived! I'm ecstatic. They fit, they are amazing, and I'm so excited! Yes, they are the ones I said I was getting close to. Yes, it panned out and yes, I'm so relieved and happy. I'm keeping it top secret (to surprise my future hubby), so you will have to wait another three weeks or so.

...And you thought I was going to talk about diamonds. Had a little outting with Peanut the other day. She's such a curious thing, you can not take her off the leash - unless you never want to see her again! She would take off immediately, especially if she hears kids (she loves kids).
I've been getting a few questions about my fiancé and some interest in him, and hey, he is my 'better half' so who can blame you. Thus, I thought I'd put together a little introduction post. I know you've seen a few snippets of him here, here & here, but that may not be satisfying your curiosity craving (it wouldn't be satisfying mine - ha!).
So let me introduce to you my fiancé. He's tall, dark and handsome, loves sports (especially football), is a great cook and is super patient (especially with me). He fully encourages my shoe addiction, is very stylish, and treats me so good. Love you, babe!
The lovely Emily of Emily Loves tagged me to answer some questions. Since I'm always up for some blogger tagging, let's go:
Do you like your height? Would you rather be taller/shorter/stay the same?
I don't mind being 5'11, but would ideally like to be a little shorter so I would receive less flack about wearing such high heels all the time!
Most daring thing you've ever done?
Cliff jumping
Are you more of a cold weather or hot weather person?
Hot weather, all the way. While I can't handle extreme heat very well, I do not enjoy the winter (despite being a snowboarder)
Do you like doing makeup on others or just yourself?
Just myself. Make-up isn't a super strong point for me, I can do it, but don't have a huge interest (clothes and shoes are more my thing ;)
Celeb crush?
T.I.
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yes - my head (car accident) and right wrist (snowboarding), and I'm right-handed :S
Favourite personality trait in yourself?
Caring - I always try to go above and beyond for my friends and familly. I hope they feel the same!
Team Edward or Team Jacob?
I've never seen Twilight (sorry Em!)
