White Waxflower/Frame makeover

I found a new favorite blog and wanted to share it with you. Mary Grace over at White Waxflower is such an inspiration to me. I love how she just throws stuff together and makes it look so interesting.

She has some really cool tutorials.

I love her anthropologie inspired bedroom! I WILL be doing something like this in my room!

 She dresses super cute!

And she makes really cute videos with her dog Jemima.
How has she inspired me?
I  made this frame.



I found the frame on black friday for $2.48 at the thrift store. I spray painted it Caramel Latte by Krylon. When i was taking the glass out i broke it so i wrapped the picture that was in the frame in burlap, and taped some random things i had laying around the house to it. The map was the front of a journal i had, and the green heart is and earring that my friend Ashley gave me, but i lost the other one :(

I also jazzed up my shelf in the bathroom. 

here is the before

And after

I shopped my house to get the "thrown together" look.

I’ve been doing a lot of shout out’s lately, cause I have some awesome friends and I want to share their talents with you :) My friend Ashley just started her own blog, you should check it out. She made this cool headband for me, 

and these super cute hair clips. They are made out of yarn. I have no idea how she made them but they are sooo stinkin cute!

So go ahead check out her blog!

My other sister makes the best pottery EVER. Kinda wish i was that talented!

So my lil sis is taking a pottery class at school and she has made some incredible bowls, cups, vases etc. Sure beats the vase i made in art 101 in high school. I'll see if i can get a pic of that to update later :)

She made me this super cute bowl and mug set. i. love. it. The bowl sits on our new table and holds all our keys. and the mug is on my jewelry crates and it holds my rings.

Here are some up close pics.

The colors in the these are gorgeous, they are sage green with some tan and autumn. So pretty!!

I'll have my sis send me some more pics of her stuff. Seriously it is sooo good! She is working on a bowl with a peacock feather on the side, that is 3D. SO COOL!

My sister is an AMAZING cook! Kinda wish i had her mad skills.

At family vacation this year my sister made some super delicious hummus! She got the recipe off allrecipes.com, so i decided to try it for myself.

Yep that's her taking a picture of me taking a a picture of her, and everyone else is just checkin out the neighbor landing his helicopter in the front yard... no biggie...

Here is what you will need:

• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 (4 ounce) jar roasted red peppers
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Mix it all up.

In an electric blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas, red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Process, using long pulses, until the mixture is fairly smooth, and slightly fluffy. Make sure to scrape the mixture off the sides of the food processor or blender in between pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving.) 

So good! Well i haven't tried mine yet, but once it sits in the fridge for an hour i will. Hopefully it will be good :/
