It is illuminating.
So worth the $11.

flea market finds!
Went to the flea market a few days ago and found some great stuff!
*forgive the horrid pictures. I was too lazy to get my real camera out.
I was desperately needing something for my cooking utensils as my designated drawer for them was horribly full. I was so excited to find this 1930’s tin for only $2.50! I love the colors and now everytime I step into my kitchen I get a little more giddy to cook. 
I also found this great book for only $3.95! It has so many fun DIY projects and recipes. Love, love, love it! And love the price! I went to Target after the flea market and saw it being sold for $22! Ha!
My last find that left home with me was a fun 4 strand locket that was originally going for $10 but was in a 50% off case! (I will get a picture up soon) It has the neatest little clasp and I’ve been wearing it almost every day since! All in all, I left spending only $12 and incredibly happy.

abc’s.
good friend jackie from sweetie pie pumpkin noodle loves to spoil me. she sent this vintage ABC’s poster to me just the other day and I couldn’t resist showing how it looks on the wall! I LOVED these when I was little and I have no doubts baby wood will as well.
Thanks again Jackie! You are too good to me!

sneak peak.
Just putting the finishing touches on the baby’s room and decided to share my progress so far. I kind of ditched the theme idea and just put whatever I wanted in it! I’m hoping to still sew some curtains, possibly get a rug and dear Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle spoiled me with a vintage ABC’s poster that is on it’s way here! Can’t wait til the little guy is here!
*forgive the random messes tucked into the corners! I will clean it up before he gets here I promise!
*the blanket draping the chair was made by bff Theresa.
*dresser from craiglist for $25!
*the two cards are from my baby showers & on the right is the Family Proclamation from our church.
*The silhouettes are of Tim & I, the cross stitch in the middle was given to us as a wedding gift from a lady in Tim’s ward that has our wedding date, etc. The picture the bookcase was painted by Tim’s brother and the Dick & Jane books were a gift from my dear friend Evelyn.
ps. notice the Spawn toy in the corner? tim INSISTED on having it there.

my name is myla & i’m a hoop-aholic.
I am officially obsessed with embroidery hoops.
You will probably need this information when you check me into the Singer Sewing Clinic.
Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Shapes for baby’s room.
Crown, Hot Air Balloon, Mustache.
Idea boards for the bedroom mini office. Pictures of Tim & I on the top with the tickets from the Ballet he took me to before proposing, baby ultrasound picture to the right and antique brooch on the bottom.
Recipe/Grocery List board.
(my mom gave me that apron for christmas! can you tell we’re asian?)
I just can’t help myself, I spent less than $20 covering my entire apartment in hoops.
