fancy friday

Happy Friday everyone! 

It was a long post-Halloween week and I'm so happy the weekend is here!

I'm super excited to get in some down time tomorrow visiting our Farmer's Market, crafting and volunteering as a Dream Angel at the Dream Foundation's Celebration of Dreams. The kiddos and I get to attend the My Pretty Fashion show on Sunday and tonight Carl and I are super excited to attend this amazing show. 

For today's Fancy Friday, here's some things I loved on the www this week:

Dan over at Manhattan Nest nails yet another awesome DIY

Luvinthemommyhood posted an amazing cardigan tutorial that I can't wait to make

Totally crushing on Jen's organized and modern desk space at A Merry Mishap

My chair love is no secret. I picked up this awesome calendar as a constant reminder of how much I love everything Eames. 

This pug's dress-up as Anna Wintour is too hysterical. 

In love with everything they come up with over at Weekday Carnival, but especially these awesome notebooks!

The cutest braided crown tutorial from the sisters over at mucho mucho bueno bueno

It took me a few tries, but I finally got my hands to do what my head was telling them - here's a peek of me this morning before I jumped on my bike and headed to work!

What are your plans for the weekend? 

XO,

Chelsea

fill it in and fancy fridays

Its Friday again, so time to link up to lauren at the little things we do. Two weeks in a row, yippee!

And speaking of Fridays, today is the first installment of Fancy Fridays where I'll show you what I have a fancy for currently!

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be table tennis. Seriously, I can't believe that's an olympic event. Awesome!

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take my little family, books & coffee. Carl better build us a boat and sail us outta there!

3. Driving on high roads is my most irrational fear.

4. I'd rather drink tea everyday, than drink bad coffee everyday. I refuse to drink the warm brown water at work, so I drink green tea except on the days when I treat myself to some 'bucks.

5. I am so excited to spend the weekend in my new little home.

6. I should really be working instead of blogging.

7. One of my favorite things in all the world is the sound of my children laughing.

After reading the above statements, it would sound as though I have a wee bit of a caffeine addiction. Guilty as charged.

And now, a little Fancy Fridays...

I really can't wait for this weekend to get here. I'm dying to get started on some fun home crafting projects. While perusing the blogging world at some of my favorite home sites like Decor8, Bloesem and DosFamily, I came across Bohemian Vintage which is sure to be one of my new favorite reads.

Their post on Suzani Fabric had me salivating. I'm dying to sew up some new pillowcases for what has been dubbed the "space couch" and daydreaming of scrumptious couches with tons of pillows.

do you dream in color?

marimekko's prints are among my absolute favorites

love these pillows in the living room of madebygirl owner jen ramos

or do you dream in black and white?

i love Hello Tiger - must have Carl teach me Swedish so I don't have to constantly use google translate!

daydreaming of boho fabulousness

loving this disco ball addition found on apartment therapy

After all, who doesn't want to just curl up on the couch with a good book?

XO,

Chelsea
