The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 210 & Al Fresco Dining Ideas

Hello everyone! I’m back from my week of business travel. It was a whirlwind week of meetings, lunches, dinners and more meetings. And even though the business trip was for my other full-time job, the time away was invigorating, exhausting and yet a refreshing break from my normal routine. And now, I’m eager to get back to sharing some fun projects with all of you.

In case you missed anything here at homework, here’s what I’ve shared lately.



And now for the projects featured this week.



Spotlight

Picture-Frame-Herb-Flower-Drying-Rack-1The Painted Hinge shared this fantastic DIY Picture Frame Herb & Flower Drying Rack. I love the vintage look and not only is it functional but a pretty décor piece while the herbs are dryings.


DSC_0976These Blondie Cupcakes with Black Currant Frosting by Lemon and Lime Thyme look delicious and are beautiful to gaze at too.


diy-jewelry-ring-holder-cigar-box-display-craft-handmade-organize-storage-customize-1024x683I love this DIY Ring Box made from a cigar box by Woods of Bell Trees. I’m always digging for my rings and this would be a fun way to organize them.


robot_appliqueThreading my Way shared a great Applique Tutorial with us using this fun robot graphic.


how-to-use-elderberry-syrupI’d love to try making fruit leather and Saved by Grace shows us how using Elderberries and Blueberries.


Bandana-Tablecloth-4The Gracious Wife stitched up this Bandana Tablecloth. Easy on the budget and just in time for your patriotic gatherings.


IMG_7456a-768x1024A lovely and personal graduation gift created by Home is Where my Heart Is.


DSC_8188Everything tastes better when it’s homemade including this Chocolate Mile Syrup by One Little Project.


Make-a-cute-ruffle-fabric-romper-and-add-decorative-elastic-to-the-top-edge-instead-of-encased-elastic.-Check-out-this-quick-tutorial-on-DIY-Crush.-2I don’t think it could get much cuter than this. The little model and the Elastic Ruffle Romper by DIY Crush are darling.


repurposed-globe-cloche-on-plateI’m in love with this Repurposed Globe Cloche by Dukes & Duchesses. What a fantastic way to use an old globe. Mental note: find an old globe asap!
