Looking for something mindless to create, I turned to a cardboard spool that was holding a roll of ribbon together.


I cut off two semi-equal rings and rubbed decoupage medium on them to help stiffen them. After that I stuck on masking tape to build up the depth on the bottom half and further stabilize them.


Initially, I was going to cover it with paper or maybe washi tape. Instead I decided to tie some baker's twine around it.




The question is: What to do with them now that they're wrapped?




Sometimes laziness is a benefit. I ended up choosing black ear wires that were on my desk. It was either those or brass. I liked black best. Now here's where the laziness comes in. I didn't want to get up and look for jump rings. But hey I have black chain right here. I actually like the black chain.



No I have a cute and practucally free pair of summery earrings.

New pillows from Target. They were $5.00 each. Granted, the lighting does not do them justice. But they were too cute to pass up. The blue check will be a lovely addition to my fall decor and the black one will work great come Halloween.



During that shopping trip I also got this cute felt clutch for $3.00. I have no idea what I will do with it. Tablet travel case? House a sketchbook and pencils or a notebook and pens for all that on the go creating I do? I haven't decided yet. But it'll be waiting and ready to go when I figure it out.

I have been coveting this cute little sign at Big Lots for awhile now. Finally I found it on clearance for $4.90.


I also found this super adorable owl mug on clearance for $2.00. And I had to get it. Even though I need another coffee mug like I need a hole in the head but it's an owl so it's a must. Right?
