Here is what should have been posted on Sunday :P I suck at daily posts.

The Outfit:
 |
Blue Celtic Knot Shirt - Maurices Black Lacey Cami - Maurices Infinity Scarf - Target - Gift Black Skirt - Thrifted Black Leggings - Peebles Black Boots - Kohls Claddagh Necklace - French Revolution Re-enactment This is what I wore to Mass. |
 |
| The back of this shirt and I have a love/hate relationship...I love the lacey look, but I hate having to wear a cami underneath this shirt because I get overheated in it during the summer. I don't normally go for open back/see through shirts, but I LOVE this one. |
 |
| My aunt gave me this scarf and I love the colors! So spring-y and bright :) |
 |
| I kept having to remind myself not to lean fully against the tree because the last time I did that, I picked up some lovely, sticky sap on my shirt :P |
The Food:
 |
| If you've never had an Irish breakfast before, you must try it. They're amazing. They usually include, sausage, rasher (ham-like bacon, which I did not have), toast or some sort of pancake, sunny side up eggs, half a tomato, mushrooms, white and black pudding, and tea. We left out the mushrooms and pudding 'cause we're not big fans of either. |
The Craft:
 |
| So I started with this old stool that Robert's mom gave us. Robert sanded it for me first, before I started painting it with some of his old room paint. |
 |
| Here it is with the first coat of paint... |
 |
| After the second coat was dry, the next step was to paint a Celtic knot on top. I wanted to make my own stencil by printing the design, but my printer couldn't print it to the size I needed, so I ended up having to paint it by hand. I think it turned out well :) |
 |
| I'm quite proud of it. |
