Fail Better

I adore Samuel Beckett. Just sayin'.

Here is a free printable of my favorite quote, "Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

Free Recipe Cards!

I couldn't sleep last night. It's a long story, but the short of it is that Hubs and I are trying to figure out if we'll ever be able to buy a house. Apparently we stand a good chance of being approved if we buy a house in the next week... after that, the changing laws will make it nearly impossible for us for the next 10 years. That's a lot to deal with, but I just don't think it makes sense to buy a house tomorrow! I mean, we did find the perfect house for us... and it's in our price range... but there's just no way we could come up with the down payment in time. *sigh* C'est la vie.

So to lighten the mood, I created some fun recipe cards! Click on the links to download the pdf, which is designed to print 4 to a page. Enjoy!

DIY Library Card

I really want to have a book exchange party! Basically, everyone who comes brings a book, new or used, that matches the theme. For example, you could have genre themes, like horror, or themes like, "The Book that Changed your Life!"
So I tried to imagine what my invitations would look like for this party...
Library cards!
I created a library card template that everyone is free to steal.
Here is a link to the pdf. They will print 4 to a page. After you cut them out and trim the sides, you can tea-stain them!

Time to get crafting - Tutorials

To continue my love of pinterest, I wanted to share with you some amazing projects I have pinned that I just can't wait to start on! (Click on the photos for links to the tutorials)

1.

Super easy tiered dessert stand. Glue. Plates. Candle Stick. Cheap and easy! Just how I like 'em.

2.

I recently received a few burlap sacks. I intent to make LOTS of these pencil bags.

3.

I bought a whole set of vintage silverware at a yard sale. I think I will paint mine bright colors instead of sticking to all white. I don't have that much class.

4.

This one I want to make as a wedding gift. I think I will do each of their last names on the sides (she's going to hyphenate).

5.

Just adorable. And useful! Actually, I will probably just write inappropriate comments to my husband.

6.

What a cute trivet! I used to hand weave like this when I was younger. Believe it or not, I did learn a few Cherokee traditions! I have some t-shirt yarn I think would be perfect...

7.

AMAZING! I want to make 3!

8.

I actually already made one of these. I think it is dying though. Fail.

9.

This is something that I will always love but never make because I do not own any power tools :(
Look on the website for the video tutorial as well.

What are you crafting (or drooling over) these days?
