We're Back. . .

The beach was nice and relaxing but there is nothing like being home. These are the only 3 pictures we took while at the beach, and they aren't even ON the beach. (In case you don't know us, that's my mom in the blue.)

Tomorrow, this is where my feet will be. . .

A Makeover. . .

I decided that my bedroom needed a makeover. When we moved into the house 6 years ago (can't believe it has been 6 years!!) we decided we wanted color in our bedroom. After lots of searching Candy Apple Red won. And boy was it color. I loved it - for a while. This is what the red looked like:

Then, I found Faded Seafoam, a color by Ralph Lauren. And I loved it! But more than me loving it, Shane loved it. So, today was the day. My mom and I decided to tackle the red (fully expecting it to be a chore) But a coat of tinted primer (that stuff rocks!) and several hours later and this is what we got:

Lots of color still, which if you know me is important, but oh so much lighter and brighter. I still haven't hung stuff on the wall as of yet since the paint is still a little tacky but it's coming! I am in love with my room again! (*Please ignore the awful television sitting on the dresser. We are in the process of "updating" those also!)

I also decided to try making my own throw pillows with a great Anna Maria Horner fabric. I love this fabric and it matches absolutely perfect!

A Custom Order. . .

This is a custom order for a baby shower gift that I just completed. Dad is a fireman and so we wanted to use a fireman themed fabric. But, since mom is the one that will be carrying the bag I added a polka dotted ribbon to make it a little more girly. Hope that mom, and dad, like their bag.

For the Little Ones. . .

It's Christmas in July! I am slowly (very slowly!) adding a few Christmas items to my Etsy Shop. This is a small handbag that is perfect for little hands (or for big hands who want a little bag!)

Burpies. . .

Simple burp cloths made with a printed flannel on one side and a coordinating flannel on the back. These are great not only a burp cloths but to use to clean up spills. I hope to have these listed in the shop tomorrow.

Happy 4th. . .

Happy 4th and a big thanks to all the men and women serving our country. Your generosity doesn't go unnoticed!

Photo Frames. . .

Some new photo frames that I just completed - first one is a black and white argyle print, second shows a back to school frame and the third is made using an amy butler print. All have glass and hold a 4x6 picture.
