Weekend Aspirations

"Great minds have purposes, others have wishes."   -Washington Irving

That's what my Celestial Seasonings tea just told me, which goes very nicely with this blog post!  Just wanted to share a few things I would like to accomplish weekend.  I figure if I publish them in writing on the internet for all to see, maybe it is more likely that they will actually get done!  I am so excited for the weekend.  The most important thing on my list is to relax and get lots of sleep! This has been a very tiring week, and I need some major R&R.  That said, I also want to spend my waking hours very productively.  Now that I am a little bit more settled into my new room, I am on a major crafting and DIY kick, especially when it comes to room organization and decorating. So here is my DIY to do list for the weekend:

1. Make these ADORABLE mini bacon and egg treats. All you need is white chocolate chips, M&Ms, and pretzel sticks! (source below)

2. Finish making my necklace rack from a cool piece of wood I found. I am trying to figure out the best way to attach it to the wall now! Photos to come.

3. Convert a very ugly vintage painting in a gold frame into a new earring display using mesh and paint!

4. Make a flag banner for above my new sewing space! I have been making mini flag banners to include with my Etsy orders, but I want this one to be much larger. Oh, and have glitter!

5. Learn how to sew! My brandy new sewing machine arrived yesterday, so I am going to practice some basic stitching and figure out how my machine works.  I found a great starter tutorial here.

6. Figure out something to do with all of the large branches I have collected. I am thinking spray paint, and perhaps some white lights.

Do any of you have any fun weekend projects to complete?  I will share my results later! Have a terrific weekend!
