What I have been up to

I have been wanting to remodel my kids/guest bathroom for quite some time now. The problem is money imagine that, so I decided to just redecorate. I am so happy with the end result. I made the shower curtin out of a sheet and green and coral fabric that I found at a discount fabric store. Since I have three little grommets I hung two towel bars with the letter of there first name above the towel with a coral drawer knob to hold the letter with a white satin ribbon. The little one has his towel hanging on the door (need to get him a towel bar). The towels are what to me is the best part of the bathroom. It is the new Amy Butler collection at Bed Bath and Beyond. Love it!!!

Let it Rain Books

Yes Books. As many of you know I am lacking on the book reading department. A friend (Thanks Brittany) forwarded me this great tutorial on rain gutter book shelves.
It looks super easy and I can't wait to put them up. Maybe I might start reading. Well...... I will get back to you on that!

OOH WHAT A WEEK

My little on is three and it is time. The thing we all hate doing as mothers. The task that is not fun and wish the kids would just figure it out themselves. Because really how many adults do we know that can't do this.
Yes it is potty training!


I have been home bound for three days and I have to say I am happy to be finishing new projects. I made a new design for a baby blanket and I new purse for myself.


Happy to be getting things done and to have no more diapers, but hate the process

Halloween

Halloween has become one of my favorite holidays. It is fun to come up with costumes with the older kids and forcing the younger one to wear one. Noah wanted to be a mad scientist. We came up with the 50 inspired lab jacket. I just used a p.j pattern shirt made it a little wider added some button, Velcro, rubber gloves, and of course eyeballs in his pocket. Leah was a lady bug. Her skirt was a no sew tie tutu of red and black. Wings that she helped me make. Black leotard, leggings, gray and black socks with black boots. Now Ezra I figured it was the last year I could make him be something. So he was the Travelocity Gnome. Red felt hat with a white fringe beard, blue shirt, black felt belt, and brown pants completed the gnome look. He didn't think that was enough so I made him a cape to make him a super gnome. I also made a hat for Jeff to wear, so Ezra would think it was cool. Thanks Honey for being such a good sport.

Snails

One of my favorite things to do is to work with Heather from Amorology. Not only does she come up with the most amazing designs, but she lets me have creative freedom with her ideas. I created a family of snails for this fun whimsical table.

I was very excited to see them in San Diego Style Weddings.

Fall is Here

I found this great fabric and had to buy it. I made a pillow and then thought what else I could do with it, the fabric reminded me of pumpkin pie, so I made pumpkins. They are available on Etsy.
