 What are you up to this weekend? Something great I hope, you deserve it!

As for us we aren't up to too much. Oh, well we are officially

 telling The Husband's Grandparent's we are pregnant 

(you know since they aren't on facebook or twitter... haha!) 

Other than that we've got a few projects around the 

house to tackle & some relaxing to do. 

See you Monday!

DIY: Table Runner.

Whoa. Yet another, "why didn't I think of that?" moment. 

Isn't this kraft paper table runner fab!?

Super simple. Super cheap. Super fun. 

You really could write or draw anything you

 want on it to make it your own.... Love!

For the full list of what you need & the simple 

tutorial head on over here to Remodelista.

A Love Letter For You.

Have you heard about The Love Letter Project or perhaps

spotted some of the murals throughout Philadelphia? 

Oh my, I just love it! What a creative & absolutely fabulous idea...

Amazing right?

 It is literally a love letter painted on the walls facing the Market elevated train in Philadelphia.

Created by Steve Powers, Love Letter was designed & painted by 40 local 

& international artists & is on display for everyone to enjoy!

For more on the project including a map of all the locations 

the murals are painted head on over to the project's site.

Pssst. If you aren't lucky enough to reside in or around Philadelphia to check

 the project out yourself,  you can always buy the book featuring the murals right here.

Stair Stripes.

I really like the contrasting stripe that runs along the wall & the runner.

 It just draws your eye right up the stairs...

That is all.

The Poppy Project.

Perhaps you've noticed the Poppy patterns popping up on 

the blog right over there on the right side bar... 

That is because Oh What Fun is taking part in Coach's Poppy Project.

 A web based project designed to have poppies blooming all over the internet!

You can help make more poppies bloom right here on Oh What Fun 

&  have some chances to win some sweet prizes from Coach. It is super simple...

DIY - iPhone Dock.

I don't even have an iPhone or an iTouch. Nope all I have is a MacBookPro. 

(plus the "bubble" desktop mac & a destroyed MacBook & 2 old school iPods, it's like a Mac cemetery over here.) 

But aside from the iPhone craze I have always had a special spot in my heart for Apple products. 

(it is after all, the only type of computer I've ever had... which means since the early 90's) 

So, anyway I thought this DIY  created by Dessine Moi Un Objet

 for a iPhone or iTouch dock  crafted out of paper was just too good not to pass on...

{ Originally spotted on The Best of Pinterest }

Pretty nifty eh? Imagine if you made it out of some patterned paper or what have you. 
You'd have a pretty sweet lil' dock for yourself!


Head on over to Dessine Moi Un Objet for the full tutorial which includes a video if you get confused.
 (The tutorial includes a printable template & yes the tutorial is in English in case you were worried.)

Decorative Fireplaces.

Like many people who live in charming vintage homes or apartments we have a non-working fireplace. 

(Actually I was told could make it work but it'd be a huge fire hazard & we don't want to deal with that.)

So now we have a dilemma- 

What to do with the interior of said fireplace.

 Here are some ideas I dug up... 

{ 1 } { 2 } { 3 } { 4 }

Candles. Mirrors. Books. Wood. Oh my! 

Lots of options but I'm not so sure any of them knock my socks off. 

 The Husband suggested plants, I suggested a nifty hanging lamp of sorts, maybe like this one.

I also saw this idea once where there was just a basket of Christmas lights in the firebox. That was kinda cool...

I guess we could always just put a chair in front of it. Though that seems kinda like a cop out. 

What do you think?

Piper Dog?

I heart this comic by Everydaycute. It totally reminds me of Piper Dog...

Not only is this something that would happen with her but the dog character "Carmen" 

kinda looks like her too. Maybe she gets out more than I know & models for comics?

Ok, probably not. 

But at least now I know we aren't the only 
ones with an incredibly silly dog.

Nature Blocks.

I love blocks. In fact, I  still remember the set my brother & I had as kiddos... 

I think they are just plain great & really help to spur on creativity & imagination. 

Our babe will definitely be getting a set of their very own, 

how bout these Nature Blocks by Lakeshore Learning? 

Kinda cool, eh? I'm loving the natural feel.

How Was Your Weekend?

So how was your weekend my dears?

Mine was fabulous. I sorta fell off the face of the internet which was nice...

The Husband came home on Friday after being away for two weeks

 for Army related stuff so we just basked in the glow of eachother all weekend. 

Laughing. Cuddling. Talking. Kissing & just being silly...

I love weekends like that!
