Well hello November, it’s nice to see you again…
October was a great month – warm weather along with the first few real tastes of fall weather, and my little blog hit an all time high for site traffic. When I started this blog, I had no idea people would actually read it, so to see how it’s grown is just crazy to me. Thank you to all who read, and comment, and message me privately – it really means a lot 🙂
I was looking back at some of my old posts from last November, and it’s hard to believe that was just a year ago… it’s funny to read and remember some of the projects I’d worked on (and posted about) that totally flopped. Some of them I totally forgot about, but this blog is like a living timeline of my life, so even though there are some I’d like to forget… it’s all there in writing.
Remember this Gold Leaf Barware DIY?? Those glasses went to Goodwill shortly thereafter. I’d almost forgotten that failed project. Also… our hallway had STRIPES… NARROW stripes. Another “what was I thinking” moment. Such a terrible idea for such a small space. But you know what? That’s all part of it. Some of the DIY’s turn out to be AMAZING… like this Wine Rack Makeover… or our Ikea Dresser / TV Stand Makeover… but there are plenty that are realllllyyyy bad… and I’m sure there will be more in the future that don’t quite work out, but that’s part of the fun. Trying new things, trying to stretch our budget, and trying to make our apartment feel like a home.
This week was a quiet one for me on the blog, but I have a little project I worked on the other night that I’m excited to share with you all.
Need a hint?
Any guesses??
Well, you’ll find out for sure next week. Have a lovely weekend!
