What a crafty person I am!!



I was so very excited to be invited to a craft night the other day. I was looking forward to trying something new since I never do anything crafty (I would love to if I wasn't working four jobs or going to school full-time.) My friend was showing us how to mod podge and I was so excited for the beautiful creation. For some reason though my picture frame didn't look like anyone elses. I definitely need more work, but it was fun to add a beautiful decor to my home.


I found my favorite new store. IKEA, pretty much anyone who is reading this is probably thinking duh Sienna, where have you been? Well I took a trip there the other day and I am very proud to say, I spent $7.50 total. I bought two cute pink frames for 99cents, 5 magazine holders and these super cute heartshaped ice cube makers. I really just found my new calling in life. Shopping at Ikea and making my house super cute. Take a look at the picture to see the cute pink vase.

Bytheway, Michaels flowers are 50% off. I found the cute gerber daisy for a dollar. I must admit that I am a great bargain shopper.

What beautiful Drapes!!!




I finally feel like I have something newsworthy to post. The past months have been extremely busy with school and work and I didn't have anything exciting to post. But this definitely is newsworthy and exciting for all the world to see.


I was so excited to buy some fabric and make drapes. I thought that it would take me a weekend and I would have them up in no time. Well after four months of the fabric sitting at my in-laws I decided that the time has to come to put my sewing skills to work. For those of you who know about my sewing skills, I remember sewing a pillow together in the seventh grade. Other then that, I don't think I have ever used one. My mother-in-law was very kind to not only lend her sewing maching and surger, but her skills as well. I realized after this project that I hate to sew. The great news about that is, I have an amazing mother and mother-in-law that know how to sew, so really I don't even need to bother.


Look at how lovely they are!!
