Chic Maker DIY Jewelry Kits

Do you ever get that itch to be crafty... and then realize you're too lazy to go out and find/buy all the pieces for your theoretical project? Fortunately, Chic Maker, makes it easy to get your craft on without stepping one foot outside your house. They'll ship one of their monthly DIY jewelry kits with all the materials and instructions right to your doorstep! I discovered Chic Maker when I was perusing one of my favorite blogs Delighted Momma. Below you can see what she did with the March bracelet-making kit. The materials happen to be in one of my favorite color combos too- tan and teal. So cute!

Happy Turquoise Home

It's incredible how the use of color can bring a real sense of joy to a home. Perfect example- this home photographed by Peter Carlsson. I just love the subtle hints of turquoise scattered across the bright palette of this charming space. Who could ever possibly be in a bad mood here? :)  via House of Turquoise.

DIY Braided Necklace

Has it been too long or what!? I've missed this blog terribly as I've been pulled away to serve my duties as a juror... ALAS I am back and ready to share with you wonderful things I come across around the world and the web... So lets get started back up with a fantastic DIY Braided Necklace I found at the blog ECAB (short for Eighteenth Century Agrarian Business... cute.) I love the colors used for this tutorial- turquoise is kind of my obsession right now for jewelry- but you can of course customize it however you would like :) Enjoy!
