5 fave friday

5. Crocheted blankets
I really want to make a chevron one and a granny square one. Know who makes the best blankets? My crochet hero Becky. She is a crochet superhero. I need to draw some inspiration from her and get my rear in gear. (did i really just say that?)

4. These awesome tights!
I want to do a DIY version of these! I'm going to check my closet for some tights that are on their last legs. ;)

3. The best DIY I have seen in a while!

Rachel shared this on Elsie's blog this week and I love this idea so much! Like, so so much. I can't even properly express my love. Something about it just has me freaking out! Maybe I'm a little too excited but whatever. It is genius.

2. this backdrop!!

I have the most beautiful set of sparkly purple drums (have I ever shown them to you? I don't think I have!). Something like this would look so amazing behind them. I wonder if I could talk Ivan into letting me do this in the basement. 

1. these nails!

Check out the link for a DIY.  I actually have a kit like the one she used to do this. I don't think it has a chevron pattern plate but now I want to pull it out and make my nails extra fancy!

Once again I have a busy day ahead of me! I hope everyone has a good Friday!

  1. There is not a single thing I do not love about this post! I love those croquet squares! And every time I see a pair of tights like that I do drool a little.

  5. Mmmm, I'm really into crochet at the moment. In fact, I'm almost finished my monochrome ripple afghan! I crocheted this morning while watching your videos on vimeo. Is that creepy? I don't mean it to be. I miss hearing Canadian accents.

  10. I love the crocheted blankets. I'd love to make one someday. However,I don't have the best eyesight,so I'll probably end up buying one at a thrift store or have someone make me one! :)

  11. I am dying to make a chevron afghan for myself. I've been making baby blankets like crazy lately for a bunch of expecting friends :) Your blog is fabulous! I've followed you on IG for awhile and sadly it took a sick day for me to get the chance to check out your blog. I'm so glad I did!
