I'm in the home stretch here and things seem to be going smoothly. I did a little bit of almost shopping last week (you know, the kind where you online shop and put things in your cart and then close the browser without checking out), but I managed to hold strong. Next week I'll have a little wrap up of the shopping hiatus and explain where I plan to go from here.
I can definitely say that one of the benefits of not shopping is the extra time it gives you. We had a lot going on this weekend, but I'm not sure any of it will be ready to share with you this week. Hopefully soon.
Did anyone else have a productive weekend?

Oh I am curious. Your project does look like fun. Congrats on the no shopping-you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteWow, that blue looks super intriguing! :) My weekend was full of purging and treats!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished product. I can't believe the hiatus is almost over.
ReplyDeleteOhh I'm curious too - so productive!
ReplyDeleteProductive. Hm. I unpacked, does that count?
ReplyDeleteGo you. You have all this resolve and stuff.
I cracked on my no-shopping. Bought two lipsticks, but scored a bunch of free swag! I'm glad you're doing better than I am!
ReplyDeleteEnticing! Can't wait to find out what's up ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect shade of blue for spring! Reminds me of robin eggs and playgrounds.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the no shopping - I couldn't hold out. but I did participate in the earth hour.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what you're up to!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a shopping hiatus as well and I find it so damn hard with the seasons changing! I keep thinking to myself how I need new clothes for spring, when really that's only 25% true. It's so hard!
ReplyDeleteWhat did I do this weekend? Something I rarely do- shopping! Don't be jealous :) I got 2 bridesmaids dresses to choose from. Might need your help deciding!
ReplyDeleteOur weekend was productive but not quite as productive as we'd hoped! But we did make some amazing bread and pita bread!
ReplyDeleteonline shopping carts are great that way. Add a bunch of stuff, walk away from the computer. Doesn't work as well in Target.
ReplyDeleteI actually had a very productive weekend - now that I'm back at work I'm actually get a lot more done in my spare time!
ReplyDeleteBut my being productive is just everyone else's normal - I changed a lightbulb in my bedroom which has been blown for about two months now.
Loving that robins egg/turquoise color on the wood frames.. I can't wait to see what you are making!
ReplyDeleteAs for myself this weekend was relaxing and filled with cooking. Oh yeah, with a random Chicago snow storm thrown in, too.
Totally feel you on the non-shopping sutff. I've been trying to be good myself. Can't wait to see your finished project! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm looking forward to the project you have in store!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was quite productive. Lots of packing, donating, and organizing in preparation for the move. For a few months, I shall live vicariously through your home projects as I become a short-term nomad ;)
oooh this looks excellent. can't wait for the reveal!
ReplyDeletelove that blue! can't wait to see...are they frames? looks familiar.....things around here are pretty busy too!
ReplyDeleteI like the color of blue you are painting the frames.
ReplyDeleteYahoo on week 11! What will you buy once you meet your goal?
Enjoy! xoxo
I just love that "almost shopping"! For some reason it just seems to help settle the urges a bit. Congratulations on your constraint! Looks like a productive weekend for you... Love that blue color! We did a litttle garage cleanout/organization this weekend. Feels good to get some stuff done!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely color combinations...
ReplyDeleteYes, we did have a productive weekend, wrapping up the ski season and getting back to having our weekends a bit looser. After no shopping, I have a wish list in the waiting. I get excited about it, just waiting. It feels like a little Christmas is coming.
ReplyDeleteis this you making frames?
ReplyDeleteI DIDNT KNOW YOU MAKE FRAMES!
super cool. i wanna learn!
