Chambray and Canvas

The temperatures are starting to rise here in Denver, and I've come to terms that my summer wardrobe is not going to make an appearance from our storage unit any time soon. Lesson learned-- pay attention to the order of your belongings when you're whole house is dumped into self storage. In an effort to keep this little endeavor inexpensive, I've been looking to sources like Forever 21 and my standby love, Old Navy. This shorts/top combo caught my eye today (I'm a sucker for green & blue), since the chambray top would make a great early spring transition piece. Picture it with khaki crop pants in late March/April, then shorts in May. Is anybody else itching to wear colorful spring clothes like me?

Yarn Wreath

 With high temperatures in Nashville, I've definitely got spring fever! Today I rolled up our area rugs and let our floor breathe, and I'm on a mission to give the house a good cleaning this morning. This part of spring is the best because my allergies haven't quite hit yet- so I can enjoy the weather without suffering!

As part of my spring fever- I've become head over heels with yarn wreaths! Just doing a search on Etsy provides a bevy of eye candy. The wreaths are seemingly simple to create, with tutorials all over online. This tutorial from Mrs. Priss is my favorite, just because her wreath turned out so darn cute. I love the idea of doing the wreath in a neutral color, and using straight pins for the appliques. This way the wreath can change with the seasons; switching up the hanging ribbon and flowers would be relatively simple and create a different look.

Is this flash of warm weather giving you spring fever too? I'd love to hear about any fun plans you have for the weekend- or whether you've got the crafting bug like me!
