booya birdies

i'm trying desperately to get over my monotone gray overload obsession of the last 2 years.

it's hard, but i'm trying.

color scares me.

it's so....

final.

neutrals usually stay "in" for a while, but patterns and colors seem to go in and out with the seasons.

i'm such a committment phobe.

i'm working on it.

i bought a frame at the goodwill for $10.99.

i think they kind of ripped me off, but i'm the sucker that bought it anyway.

i thought it had good bones (aside from the hideous cottage scene that was framed and immediately went into the trash) and i might find a place for it.

once i threw away the awful picture i kind of liked just the open glass look.

drew did too.

then i saw this and this (both wonderful blogs btw) and.....

booya.

nothing says awesome like mod podge birds hanging in my kitchen.

i love 'em.

the birds were $1.00 for a 5 pack at michael's.

i bought them a month ago and didn't know what to do with them.

the fabric was part of a 10 pack sampler i got from hancock to make christmas gifts with and the ribbon was just lying around.

pretty good deal.

i made this in the middle of a snowy day.

i seriously hate the snow.

so i guess this is me hoping for a bright and cheery spring!
