First, thank you so much for the overwhelming love and support on yesterday's blog post. I was quite nervous about sharing my story, but I'm so very glad that I did. Now, on to today's blog post….
I have a Pinterest board called "Love the Whole Thing." I pin everything that I would proudly display in my home to that board. Today I thought I'd share ten recently pinned items from that board.
I love that there's so much emotion in this simple painting. And I love that it's not 100% "right," but absolutely communicates.
I have a thing for fabric jewelry. I have always been especially intrigued by fabric beads.
I would love to have these on my dinner table! I would love to paint up some plates like this actually….
Raw emotion in this piece. I love it!
This is wallpaper. I dream of having the kind of home where this would fit right in.
I love the intensity of the face. That direct gaze. I love all the stickers on the page too. And the shading on the face is masterful. I aspire to have journal pages like this one.
Everything about this is perfect. Love the text, love the drawing, love the way it was colored. Supremely perfect.
Love the energy in this piece and the composition. It's so full of life and movement.
Yes, please! What a gorgeous bag. I would love to carry it around! Of course, it's Dolce & Gabbana, so a little out of my price range. I wonder if I could make something like it…?
Another Dolce & Gabanna. I find the beading so inspirational. It would be a great wall hanging or purse too!
So, there you go. Ten awesome pieces of inspiration. Do any of them spark your imagination?
Thanks for stopping by!

I have no doubt you could make a bag like the Dolce and Gabana one. All it requires is patience, persistence and an the ability to accept imperfection when something goes ‘wrong.’

Loving the “My heart is broke” one. That’s a quote for every person on the planet at one time or another. That purse is fantastic too!

You absolutely could make that handbag -or something even more amazing! Go to a thrift store and you can find fabulous bags to do over -grab some beads and embroidery thread, maybe some fabric transfers… Hmm- I may be headed to the store myself! 😀

An awesome and eclectic collection of just 10! I adore that couple sitting on the bench, and agree that D&G dress would make a stunning wall hanging! I follow your Pinterest boards, and also enjoy your “My Someday Home” (I think you call it) pins.

I follow your pinterest board and soooo enjoy it. I’ve watched you lose weight over the past year and said to myself — “hmmm – divorce or weight watchers”. Kept looking for a ring on your finger – didn’t see it and started thinking that you must be going through a very tough, tough time. The only positive thing that came from my divorce (some 20 years ago) was that I lost a ton of weight. It appears that you had already started your weight journey. Julie you were pretty before but you are a stunner now. I so admire you. You never skipped a beat that we could see. You kept feeding us through your loss. What a girl!
