Fridays Unfolded #59

welcome m'dears
to the 59th edition of


as you can probably tell
i've been tinkering a bit
with my blog design


you see
i am something of a commitment-phobe
when it comes to online style


i tend to stick with neutrals
(boring, i know)


but last week
when i was trawling online
for free images


i came across my header pattern
and fell in love


now
i am certainly not
the most gifted of blog designers
(don't you adore my gift for the understatement?)


and who knew it could be so hard
to choose fonts?


but after some trials and errors
and with more than a little help from this site






i managed to come up with something
pleasing to my eyes


and hope you'll like it too


so if you'd like to grab a new button
you'll find them on my Buttons Page


as part of my redesign
i also decided to remove my followers boxes


i've thought about doing that for awhile now
but was skeered i would lose followers if i did


but finally decided that
my mood was too easily altered
by noticing one more
or one fewer followers


faint not nor fear


if you use blogger
you can still click 'follow'
on the navigation bar at the top of my blog


or


you can sign up by email
to have new posts sent directly to your mailbox


go ahead


you can tell me if you think i'm crazy or not!


now
onto the real reason
you are here today


last week
here at Fridays Unfolded
you all shared some killer posts
and here are just a few
of my favorites


nikki from Thrifty Decorating
used some GW finds
a can of spray paint
and some grass seed
to craft this adorable Easter display


and Linda from lindapendante dreams
sewed up a  pin tucked duvet cover
to pretty up her bedroom


you all know
how much i like writing on stuff


so when i saw
this creative idea for gussying up
a boring white plate from Kelly at Eclectically Vintage
i knew it would be a feature this week


for the past two and a half weeks
i've been dieting (-9lbs!)


but if i weren't
you can bet your sweet bippy
i'd be wrapping myself around a few of these
Cinnamon Roll Bar Cookies from Blissful Whimsy


this sweet little this 'polky-nots' dress
made by sew easy being green
makes me wish my Fiona was small again
(and that i could sew)


and there's no way
i could fail to mention
this awesome achievement by Rachel from Quiver Full of Blessings


who was so inspired by Beth Moore's bible study


that she set out to memorize
the entire gospel of James


for tips on how she did it
please click through to her post
