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.)

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.

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.
