A huge thank you to all of you who stopped by last week, left comments and of course, shared projects on The Inspiration Board. In case you missed anything, here’s what I shared last week.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Clip Art Easter Eggs | Martha Stewart

Happy Friday everyone. High fives and fist bumps – we crafted and created our way through another week. Are you excited for the weekend? I know I am. Today I’m sharing some wonderful Easter Egg inspiration from Martha Stewart Living that you can make this weekend.

ETCETERAS: Spring Hutch with Touches of Pink

I’ve mentioned this before but I don’t have a mantel so I decorate this hutch in my dining room every season. This year I went with a color I’ve never used before – pink.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 198 & Bright Inspirations

It’s officially spring friends! I know some of you that live in the colder areas are even more excited than I am. But I think I can honestly say that we all love this season. Spring brings renewed life and gets our creative juices flowing. We can open our windows and get outside to tackle outdoor projects and more. Can you tell I’m excited?

As always, I want to thank all of you that stopped by, commented, emailed and shared projects here last week. Since I started working full time again, I haven’t had as much time for blog socializing and I appreciate your continued support. I hope you are still enjoying my projects and the creative inspiration shared here at homework. Speaking of, here’s what I shared last week.

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Compound Butter  |  Weekend Inspiration: Easter  |  Printable Cross Stitch “Handmade by” Tag

And now for the projects featured this week:

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Easter Eggs, Bunnies & More

With Easter just around the corner, it’s time to kick it in high gear and decide on the final menu, décor and beyond. Here are some Easter ideas that I’m thinking about.

INKLING: Printable Handmade By Card (Cross Stitch)

If you make handmade items or have a handmade shop, I have a fun printable for you today. I created this cute “cross stitch” Handmade By cards. They can be used as tags for homemade or handmade gifts or in your packages from your shop. Aren’t they fun?

GOOD TASTE: Compound Butter | Brown Sugar & Cinnamon

Compound butter seems to be very popular right now. I’ve been seeing gorgeous blends in magazines and online. Compound butter is a mixture of butter and, well, anything you choose. Common blends are herbs, chives, honey and the version I made, brown sugar & cinnamon.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone. Are you wearing green or are you getting pinched? I have on some green – just in case. I haven’t spotted any Leprechauns around but I’m sure they’re out and about. So what have you been creating? The weather is warming up so I’m sure everyone has been busy springifying their homes and gardens. Plus there’s that whole spring cleaning thing that I need to get on board with. I can’t wait to see what you share today.

So let’s get this creative party started. Share your creativity by linking up below. I love pinning and sharing your projects. Remember, the features will now be on Monday.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 197 & A Pinch of Green

Hello friends! I hope you’re off to a good week so far. Last week turned a little sideways for me because I got hit with some nasty end of season bug and went down for a few days. Just when the weather was turning nice and I thought I had escaped the cold and flu season unscathed. I’m better now and ready to tackle a new week. I huge thank you to everyone who visited last week and shared projects on The Inspiration Board. I’m always so inspired by your creativity and can’t wait to show off the features below.

In case you didn’t have a chance to drop by last week, here’s what I shared here on homework.

Upcycled Light Fixture Night Light  |  Printable Herb Markers on Scanned Tile  |  Weekend Inspiration: Mushrooms

And now for the featured projects.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Mushrooms, Meringue & Moss

For some reason, I’ve had mushrooms on my mind lately. I recently posted an Asian Vegetable Stir Fry that included Shitake Mushrooms and a Light Fixture to Mushroom Night Light Upcycle. Then without realizing I was getting a little mushroom obsessed, I gathered these mushroom ideas for the Weekend Inspiration. But aren’t these mushroom ideas amazing – I mean how can you not hop on the mushroom train.

INKLING: Free Printable Herb Plant Markers on Spanish Tile

I have a fun printable for you today. Just in time for your spring herb garden.

UPCYCLING: Light Fixture Night Light

I’ve been hanging on to this ceiling fan light fixture for the longest time. It was going to be turned into a planter but one day I accidentally turned it over and set it on top of a jar and a mushroom was born.

The Inspiration Board: Creative Party 197 & Boo Boo Bunnies

FROM MY ARCHIVES | No Sew Boo Boo Bunny Ice Wraps

Welcome to The Inspiration Board! I’m so excited to see what you’ve been up to. Is it spring yet in your neck of the woods? I have to tell you, it’s definitely spring here in Southern California. We’re enjoying beautiful 80 degree weather and nothing is more inspiring then to feel that warm sun and see signs of spring in the garden. Now I need to do some spring cleaning and freshen the inside with spring décor.

So let’s get this creative party started. Share your creativity by linking up below. I love pinning and sharing your projects. Remember, the features will now be on Monday.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 196 & Subdued Colors Inspiration

Happy Monday friends. For most of us in the U.S. we moved to daylight savings time yesterday. I think it’s one of the silliest things ever. But never the less, it was time to spring forward and so we did. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting last week. And a huge thank you to all of you who shared on The Inspiration Board creative party.

Here’s a little recap of what I shared last week.

Bent Craft Stick Bracelets  |  Marbled Note Card Printables  |  Weekend Inspiration: Pretty Pink

And now on to the features.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Pink–cherry blossoms, cupcakes and more

Can I just say… TGIF! What a week! How about you? Are you ready for the weekend? I thought these beautiful pink projects were just the medicine I needed to kick off the weekend.

INKLING: Free Printable Marbled Greeting Cards

Have you tried any of the trendy marbling techniques? Last year, I made a few things using the nail polish and water marbling technique and loved the results.

ACCESSORIES: Craft Stick Wrapped Bracelets

Have you ever made popsicle stick bracelets? It’s an old-school craft that’s been around for a long time. For this project, I’m using craft sticks. They’re narrower and a little longer than a popsicle stick. You can get them at most craft stores.

The Inspiration Board: Creative Party 196 & Paper Napkin Flowers

FROM MY ARCHIVES | Spring Napkin Rings made from Paper Napkin Flowers

Happy March everyone! I’m so excited and anxious for spring as I know so many of you are too. It’s been raining here in So. California so warmer days will definitely be a nice welcome. I know, don’t laugh at me. We hardly have a winter season with temperatures hovering in the 60’s. But you know what I mean – spring is just a special time and no matter where you live. Have thoughts of spring inspired you to create something special? A touch of spring décor, cooking and baking new recipes, or sewing some spring outfits? Whatever you’ve been up to, I can’t wait to see.

So let’s get this creative party started. Share your creativity by linking up below. I love pinning and sharing your projects. Remember, the features will now be on Monday.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 195 & Inspiring Healthy Choices

Happy March everyone. I hope where ever you are it’s starting to thaw out and there are signs of spring. My son is home from college on spring break this week. So in my mind, it’s officially spring. I can tell a lot of you are thinking sprint too because The Inspiration Board was filled with wonderful projects this week. Thank you to everyone who shared their creativity here. If you didn’t get a chance to stop by, here’s a recap of what I shared last week.
