Mustache

House Update: I've been a bit MIA lately. First, we had to get the house ready for sale, now we need to start looking for somewhere to live. The newly painted door and shutters must have worked. The house should be under contract tomorrow morning and if everything goes through, we need to be out by mid-June!

With everything going on, I haven't had much time for big projects. My son has been obsessed with mustaches lately, so I decided it was high time to make him one:

Materials:
Felt, cardboard, scrap paper, wooden skewer, hot glue gun, scissors, pencil

Sketch out your mustache, cut out your pattern:

While your hot glue gun is heating up, eat some dark chocolate:

Glue the cardboard and felt pieces together:

Attach the wooden skewer to one side:

Reinforce with a small piece of felt:

Now allow your mustache obsessed boy to model it:

Let others get in on the action:

Jellybean, Grandpa and yours truly getting in on the fun. :)

Wish us luck on finding a new home and Have a Happy Day!!

Before and After

Last month, I posted photos of my home and asked for opinions on what red to paint my front door (previous post). After everyone weighed in and after careful consideration, I decided against all of the reds that I had up and we went with a really deep brownish red called "Miso" from the Martha Stewart collection (I love Martha).

Well....unfortunately, the so called "brownish red", wasn't exactly red in real life, but more of a deep purple. Fortunately, I love the color and I think it actually looks great with our red brick. Tell me what you think...

Before

After

The pictures don't quite do it justice. I promise you, it is purple. My husband thinks that I did it on purpose because purple is my favorite color. I assured him that I did not.

For better or for worse, the for sale sign is in front of our home. We are hoping that it sells quickly. Send me your good home selling vibes. We could really use them right now.

Have a Happy Day!

Friday Finds

Two things I've been coveting:

1. Echino Karl von Frisch Purse No. 3 from The Sea Within

2. Gaia Handmade knotted necklace from Terraform

Should I purchase both? Decisions, decisions...

Have a Happy Day!
