Well, I was hoping to be over this cold by now, but not only is it still completely rockin’ my world- I woke up with pink eye yesterday, too. And by pink “eye”, I mean pink eyes. Sheesh! Anywho, I’ve been trying my hardest to take it easy. Resting, reading…all that good stuff. Yesterday, I e-read Handmade Walls, by our local friends, Ashley and Jamin Mills…
I knew those two were creative…
…but man it was cool to see how they break down the methods to their magnificence, step-by-step style!
Their e-book walked me through the creation of 22 different projects. Each of them varied slightly in cost-to-make and level of difficulty, and each of them had it’s own nifty name. One of my favorites is the Stanley. Here’s a sneak peek…
And here’s a sneak peek at some of the other goodies included in their book:
When I was finished reading it, I texted Ashley to see if I could purchase another copy to give away here today. She said yes (yay!), so if you’d like to enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this blog post (email subscribers will need to visit TheLetteredCottage.net to enter), and I’ll randomly select a winner at 10pm (CST) on Sunday night. (May 12, 2013)
Good luck and happy weekend!
PS- Alabama peeps: Ashley and Jamin are having a yard sale on May 18th!

Oh, I’m so sorry you’re still under the weather! Not fun!
This is totally off topic, but if you need something interesting to think/blog about while you’re resting, I’d love to have some tips on how you keep your house from looking too “girly”. I love your soft color choices and rooms, but they always look like your man would feel right at home too. I’m doing some decorating at the moment, and while I’ve never been a ruffles/lace decorater, I still feel like I need some masculine touches for my Beloved. Wonderful husband that he is, he says everything I do looks great! He’s not at all picky. I’d just like my house to look like he lives here too. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I would love to have that book.
