Here are this weeks links. I am playing with the idea of changing it up a little in future posts. Seeing as Pinterest is so huge (and why wouldn't it be considering it is FABULOUS) I would like to maybe start linking to my Pins. One problem being that it would take a bit more time and could possibly cut down on the number of items I post. Also, considering I don't Pin everything I post that would decrease the number of items as well. I guess I could do a hybrid and make the list as I have been doing but add Pins for some of the items. What do you think?

Decor Links:

• Knotted Felt Pillow
• Wooden Family Sign
• Mirror Mirror Subway Art
• Marker Dyed Coffee Filter Wrapped Hurricane
• Spring Wreath (From repurposed items)

• Counter Stool Redo

• Lyric Wall Art (She states in her tutorial that is was a "pain in the buttocks"; however, I think if you have a vinyl cutter it would make things A LOT easier. I am not talented nor patient enough to use an Exacto knife so I would definitely go the vinyl cutter route which is quite easy to do since PE gave me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas.)

Outdoor Links:

• Potting Bench
• Free Standing Trellis
• Better Bike & Scooter Storage
• Container Water Garden

Miscellaneous Links:

• A Clean Home
• Decal Transfer Tutorial (I love the look but this is a little more involved than I can handle BUT she also gives a free printable of the labels so I (or you) could use them in a different way.)
• How to Install Shelves in a Closet
• Mason Jar Herb Garden
• Stencil with Contact Paper (Or you could be completely amazing like KLB and use a cardboard stencil that you make yourself to make your wall look like this. Just to be clear. . .AMAZING. She penciled the lines and then painted two TWO coats and even though I know she did not completely enjoy herself during the experience she better be very proud of the results. It looks fantastic.)

Seriously?! You would not believe the craziness I had with this post. When I typed it up I was in a hurry to get it posted and initially I had the date wrong (March 10) then I went in and corrected it to March 13 which I thought (when I was writing it) was Wednesday's date. Just this morning (Thursday) I realized I posted it on Tuesday. So then I went to change the date to March 14 and the post wasn't there. Lucky for me I subscribe to my own blog in Reader (is that a little sad?) so I was able to copy the source from what showed up in the Reader. I don't know when it disappeared or what the heck happened to it. I do know that KLB should have told me I was C R A Z Y on Tuesday when I texted her that I had posted it. Here are the links for this week.

Here is this weeks list of DIY Reader links that caught my eye. As KLB so kindly (it really was very kind) pointed out . . . the holiday break is over. I do have to say, NattyPants (I hope she likes her nickname) was a little less subtle (still kind) when she asked if I had written a new post. Okay, okay ladies. Here it is.
