Blog Favs -- DIY Home Decor To Do

Here's another series I had in mind to start....My Blog Favs, where I plan to share my favorite diy blog posts.  Projects that I plan to make or just dream about making...

First up...

theartofdoingstuff.com
She made these cheap and easy Glowing Outdoor Orbs with nothing more than old light globes you can find at thrift stores or even at Lowe's or Home Depot, then she just added mini christmas lights.   Go check out her site for full details and to browse all of her amazing projects.

Second is this...

I loveeeee Jennifer's blog...she has soooo many awesome diy projects, and super tutorials, very easy to follow.   As soon as I saw this Summer Wreath she made, I had to make one for myself.  In fact, I've already started it, I'll be sure to post pics of it when it's finished (don't expect it to look nearly as great as hers).

Her blog is in my top 5 favs, so trust me, go check her out.

Do you have any favorite blogs or diy projects you'd like to share...I'm always looking for ideas, so let me know. 

Baby Shower Decor Ideas -- DIY from MissMustardSeed

Today I thought I'd share a couple diy projects I found over at Miss Mustard Seed. She published these tutorials as well as a few others. We still haven't nailed down the colors yet, we'd like to use the colors she's planning for her nursery (which is still undecided). So for now, we're just trying to come up with ideas that we can customize later.

I've been seeing these tissue poms for several months now and LOVE how cute they are for showers and was over-the-moon thrilled to find the Tissue Pom Tutorial. Can't wait to try them out, not only for table decor but also maybe a banner that she can hang in the baby's room.

And unless she chooses the name for the baby before the shower (which I HIGHLY doubt), I may make have to just make one these Moss Monograms for the "New Mommy", (maybe one for myself too).

I also found a tutorial for topiaries, but not sure where, so sorry. But I will keep you posted with plenty of pics and my own how-to's of all the projects as we work on them. You'll probably be seeing lots of posts about baby shower decor, gifts and ideas for the next couple of months as we plan my daughter's baby shower.

We're looking for punch recipe ideas, so if you come across any, let me know. Also let me know if you come across any cute nursery or shower decor ideas.
