Ideas + Inspirations :: Where did March go?

Seriously, where did March go? This month seems to have flown by!

Then again, I suppose the birthday extravaganza was a fun distraction :)

But with all the distractions, the {ideas & inspirations} post has sadly fallen by the wayside. Time for a comeback!






I just love this pillow from Sukan Art on Etsy. There are tons of adorable pillow covers, and I'm just swooning over them all! We're buying new couches soon, and I think I might have to pick one or two of these up.




This is the gosh-darn cutest Easter egg yarn wreath I have ever seen. Trisha at The Sweet Survival shows the tutorial and it is just so easy. I might have to give it a try!




Erin at One Particular Kitchen shares her roasted red salsa recipe, and ohmygoodness it looks amazing. I love roasted salsas, and this one looks perfect. I can't wait to make it!




I think my biggest inspiration lately has been the outpouring of love and support for the people of Japan. There are wonderful handmade shop owners who are giving 100% of their profits to the relief effort, bloggers participating in a day of silence, and more. People are pouring out their love and support for the tragedy that has befallen this beautiful country. Though it's just a small effort, I will also be participating. For the month of April, 100% of the money I receive from sponsorships will go directly to the Red Cross. So if you're interested in sponsoring FW&MP and having your sponsorship money go directly to the relief fund, go here to learn more about becoming a sponsor.

Ideas & Inspirations :: Feb 17th

Time for another {ideas & inspirations}! I'd like to make this a regular feature, every other week on Thursdays. So keep an eye out for it!

Here we go!



My birthday is coming up, and I have a particular love of all things marshmallow. These S'more Cookie Bars from Delightful Bitefuls look like just the dessert for me! Who needs cake when you have marshmallow fluff?




...and if my hubby is not up to making the S'more bars due to his lack of baking skills (mine too), we could always just whip up these super easy S'more Bites from Crazy Domestic.




This cute ribbon ring from bstudio on Etsy is just the thing to welcome spring! And best of all, they offer them in 31 different colors!




How cute is this bunting decoration on a crafting table? And best part? It uses Mod Podge. Check out the tutorial over at Maple & Magnolia.




How fun are these earrings? I love that it's a set of three so you could even mix and match! Go check 'em out at Crafteemcgee!

This might be, no wait, is, the cutest little valentine's gift I've ever seen. Find out how to make it here at Kat Crafts!




Anthropologie just announced it's jumping into wedding attire, and I'm just in awe. Can I get married again??




Willow Bee made the coolest yarn wreath for her little one's 4th birthday. It even includes bunting! It's so colorful and fun, she'll want to leave it up for more than just the party!




I'm so in love with this pretty scarf from The Limited, and I snagged it during their 30% off, free shipping sale! Can't wait for it to arrive!




Christina over at C+C Marriage Factory shared her Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas recipe, and oh boy it looks amazing. Check her out -- her recipes and photography are just to die for!




This super cute clutch is handmade by my awesome new sponsor, Laura from Atomique47. Not only is all her stuff super cute, but she's also giving all FW&MP readers a 15% off discount to everything in her Etsy shop with the code MODPODGE15!! This little beauty is at the top of my list. Which ones do you love?
