Inspiration Workshop - Front Porch

A few weeks, err, cough months ago, I told you all I was going to start linking up over at Gussy Sews for her amazingness that is the Inspiration workshop. I did all of one post and then life happened and I got way side-tracked.

Well, this week I'm back and super inspired. This weeks prompt is The Front Porch. When I read this prompt, I instantly flashbacked to my childhood.

As kids, my siblings and I spend the weekend at grandma and grandpa's every month or so. Everytime we would stay there we would have breakfast on the patio. So much fun and such a fond memory. One that I would love to recreate.

First I need a nice space. Right now we have a mess of a front porch. It is pretty spacious but is covered with toys and a few lounge chairs. There are plenty of memories made, just not pretty ones. Ha!

I would love to put something like this out there. You know to inspire lots of breakfasts and morning memories.

I would LIVE on my porch if it looked like this.

A porch like this would need a meal worthy of serving in such a fun and happy place. If I served up something like this, would you come have breakfast with me?

These spaces and decor bring joy. I need to put some work into my patio. Soon!

Inspiration Workshop #3

Earlier this week, I stumbled upon Gussy Sews Inspiration Workshop. I say I stumbled upon it because I have been crazy busy lately and the fact that I was able to squeeze in some blog reading was nothing short of a miracle. What a fab idea, this inspiration workshop. For more info on it, look here.

I've decided to take on the "challenge" of this workshop. So starting this week, I will be linking up. This week's prompt was green. Green is a very broad topic. I wish I was prompted to be inspired by something fabulous like the outdoors or some handmade wonder. BUT being a mommy of a two year old girl, all I could think of was this little pixie...


Rhiannon, is obsessed with all things girly. Princess and pixies are the common theme in our home, so it makes sense that Tinkerbell would be the first thing to pop into my head when the color green is mentioned.

Since I couldn't get Tink out of my head, I decided to run with the inspiration. I searched high and low for something, anything Tinkerbell that would inspire me. You see, I am not a big character fan. I don't like them as themes or on my kids clothing. I don't know why, I just don't. We often joke that Rhiannon's love of Disney characters is a cruel cruel joke. Ha!

Anyhow, after searching high and low, I found it. A tutorial for a tinkerbell halloween costume. And to sweeten the pot, there is a Peter Pan one as well. How cute would my kids be roaming our church's Harvest Fest in these:

Adorable, right? I think I just may go for it.
