Dreams of being a DIY-er

...Or at least just lots more crafty! Recently, I've been inspired by my good friend Audrey. For fourth of July, she made these adorable cake balls. A few weeks ago she invited me and G over and had delicious homemade truffles for us. Last night, we went over to her place and she was painting the most charming painting! She bakes, she paints, she draws, she sings and plays piano. This women channels her creativity into so many outlets!
In order to be more like Audrey, I have been spending a lot more time in the kitchen. I can't bake AT ALL but I've been cooking things I find on foodgawker.com and it's actually been a great time. The other thing I've been trying to get into is screen printing. It's a pretty versatile craft. Once I get a screen made up, I can use it to print on canvas to make art. Or I can print on pillow cases, clothes, tote bags, you name it. I have some really cute ideas for my future bedroom involving a vinyl wall decal from my last post and some screen printed pillows. We'll see how it all turns out.

Aw Rach, you are too kind. I'm glad though, that you have been inspired by me. :) I've been trying to have a more creative outlet because it's all in there, I just don't let it out enough. Hooray for being creative!
