Okay I just had to share this!

I saw this cake topped by an etsy seller (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38560213) and I FELL IN LOVE with them. And since I decided to include birds as a theme in our wedding. Well, the price for these lovebirds is a little out of budget...so I implored my dear grandmother, who is creative to the T, to try to make them for me...and she did! They are so precious, I love them. And they mean so much to me because they were specially and lovingly made by my dear grandma. And I know that they are unique, and there is none like them.

Okay, I simply had to share this because it is way too cute.

This is my craft for the week (I normally don't have a craft of the week, but maybe I should haha), and as soon as I make a few, I will be posting pictures.


I found an online pattern for how to make these, and from the looks of it, it's super easy!
(you can find the pattern here)

Oh and I'm also considering making it a wedding favor, but I'm going to look into the cost and time first:



My mom and I have so much fabric laying around the house, and I think these would be cute both individually and as a mobile...and I will definitely be displaying these in my house once my fiance and I get married.

Speaking of house decorations.. found something else I love that I am looking into getting for our home:


This is one of my favorite, but you can check out the sellers additional wall vinyls HERE. They do custom orders as well (I have never personally ordered from them however), and I think it would be so neat to somehow get a silhouette of my fiance and I, standing together hand in hand, or embracing or something similar.
Maybe a silhouette of this picture:

I love any DIY or fun home decor projects and ideas, feel free to share your favorites!

Oooh I'm so excited I just had to share. Since yesterday I've been in communication with an Etsy seller who makes monogrammed/personalized Unity candles. I sent her some questions concerning a custom order and she is making me some amazing candles, a unity candle, two tapers and also a memorial candle (for my grandmother), and an amazing price: $28. I am soo excited!
I will definitely be posting pictures once I get them. (Can't order them until I had a definite date in place haha)
