Do visible cords bother you? They're like the panty-lines of a house! Go ahead and cover up your cords with a bit of yarn.
Many thanks to Amy @ Delineate your Dwelling for the yarn-spiration!

Sunday Funday Features #18!
Jun 22, 2014
I am on vacation! Soaking up sunny rays and sniffing the ocean breezes. And maybe getting eaten by a shark.
Sunday Funday Florida!
Jun 21, 2014
What a great week to go to Florida! We spent a few nights at the beach then went see the Mouse.
The weather was absolutely perfect. Here in MN? Not so much. Torrential rain, flooded roads ... my poor sister-in-law (Kimber) wasn't expecting this sort of weather when she agreed to house-sit/dog-sit for us.
I really love getting home after a vacation - familiar space and comfy beds. I'm almost done doing vacation laundry (how on earth did we manage four loads worth of clothes?!). Kimber was the best house-sitter ever. I swear the house is cleaner now than it was before we left!
I didn't have time to party this week so here are a few Funday Florida ocean pics instead! I truly meant to take more pics ... but I was too busy doing nothing ... sorry!
Record Fans!

Charmeuse & Lace Table Runners
Jun 5, 2014
Charmeuse is a lovely fabric that combines a terrific drape with an iridescent satin sheen. It can be bit tricky to work with, however, so I'd classify this as an intermediate project. Follow the tutorial to make your own charmeuse table runners for weddings, home decor or gifting!

Lilacs in Jars
Jun 2, 2014
I adore lilacs. Which is why I had the landscaper plant ten bushes three years ago while he was sodding the yard. Sadly, two years after they were planted, I started getting seasonal allergy symptoms. I tried to bring cut lilacs into the house last spring. Result: sneezing, itchy eyes and a frantic search for Benadryl!
This is my experiment to see if I can bring lilacs into the house without scratching my face off ... hope it works!
You will need:
- Old style canning jar (or any jar with a proper-fitting lid)
- Bleach
- Water
- Fresh flowers & leaves. Use open blooms, if possible. Closed blooms in water tend to stay closed.
