Things Will Work Out . . . print this pretty quote as a reminder to hang in there when things are tough.
About a month ago I set a goal to finish decorating my living room. The living room that I started decorating almost two years ago. Two years! Holy crap, I have issues! Time to cross that project off my list, no? I finished my flower lampshade, so all I have left to do is decorate the three small tables in the room.
I have been working on putting some vignettes together, and I needed a little pop of color. So I decided to make a printable that I could frame. I found a printable quote (on Pinterest) from Makoodle that I loved, but it wasn’t the color that I needed. So I decided to come up with my own printable. It is a more simple design, because for the life of me I can’t figure out how to make those cool shape frames. I tried, but after about an hour I threw in the towel. Because naptime only lasts so long, and I still hadn’t showered.
So I simplified. But it’s OK, because in the end, I think my design ended up working better with my living room decor. Thank goodness!
I printed it out on this white cardstock, put it in a 5×7″ frame that I got at the thrift store, spray painted white, and distressed with some sandpaper.
I love how it turned out, and it helps me remember that in the end, things will work out!
Since I went to all the work designing it (takes me an eternity to choose fonts), I decided I’d offer it as a free printable. I did it in aqua, yellow, grey, red, and pink. If there’s another color you are just dying to have, let me know and I’ll do my best to add it. 🙂
Update: It was brought to my attention I left the “c” out of Hinckley. I fixed that on the downloadable file. You can now download the printable without spelling errors. (Hanging my head in shame.)

Jamie,
I don’t have lots of experience with printables, but my guess is that trying to print it larger will not produce a good quality print. You could always try it though. š

I love this!
Think I’ll frame some up and give them as teacher thank you gifts for my kids teachers. That’s a lot easier than the homemade freezer jam and bread I was contemplating:) Or maybe iron them onto my teen piano students bags for their recital prize.
BTW… you left the c out of Hinckley š
Can I link this on my piano blog & include a picture of it?
rashelle
i love the homemade bread idea. i was planning on sending some jam we made last week, i think i will make bread too.
Kara
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like homemade bread. And with homemade jam–pretty much heaven! š
Kara
Oops, how embarrassing! I have fixed it on the download. Thanks for the heads up!
And yes, feel free to use the picture and link back so others can use it. š
