Mini-Risks.

I stumbled upon this blog post about taking mini-risks and becoming more prolific and effective in a work day.  This article came to me through the Etsy Success Team, and I love it!  It inspired me to talk to someone today who I walk past all the time who lives on my street.  Mini-risks make you feel confident, and prolific.  Here's to Mini-Risks!

Artisan Videos.

These videos have popped up on a bunch of blogs that I read, and I love them.  It is such a nice peak into the life of someone who totally dedicates their life to their craft.  I'm in awe of these artists.

Drew McDonald is a Shoemaker.



Del Kathryn Barton is a Painter.


Thanks to Dumbo Feather Magazine for making these wonderful videos.  These people are so inspiring.

Living Room Adjustments.

I finally painted the living room!  Actually, I did it about a month and a half ago, but I forgot to post the pictures..... So here it is!

Before.

After!

I picked a light yellow-orange color, and I finally arranged the photos behind.  I love the way it turned out.  It really lights up the room.  I also made that little green pillow oh the sofa, it suits the couch better than the blue floral number in the before picture.  

On another note, I did some spring cleaning on the blog and rearranged and changed a couple things.  You like?  I also made the NestingDoll logo today too with business cards on the way!  Yay for getting my stuff together (kind of)!
