DIY Wall Yarn Thingamajig

A few weeks ago I saw this pop up on The Paper Mama’s Instagram feed and I so badly wanted attend the Portland craft night. But, alas, Portland is a solid 2 hour drive for me … not home anymore. And so, I was forced to kick off a solo craft night in hopes of […]

“Nursery” Peek

  Nurseries aren’t really a big deal around here. They never have been. Jemma had a little corner in our room and a play space in our guest room. Max too, had a corner in our room. That’s it. Talk about depriving our children and saving money while we’re at it! Seriously though, we always […]

Self – whip up a mobile

A friend and I got together this past weekend to craft mobiles. Seriously, when the mountain of laundry is piling and I can hardly keep my head above water, what on earth makes me think, “Self, let’s whip up a mobile this weekend!” Anyways … I love how colorful the butterflies are! I plan to […]

Sleeping Room, waiting for 1 sweet baby!

When we moved into our new place this June we decided to set up a “Sleeping Room” and an “Activity Room” rather than a Master Bedroom and Nursery. It just seems to fit better with our lifestyle/parenting plan. The Sleeping Room has our little one’s crib, changing table and fabulous artwork by my dear friend Leah […]

Inspired

My dear friend, Leah, follows my blog and saw my post on Petit Collage. Rather than smile at its’ sweetness she got to work. That’s right! Due to the creative bug that lives inside her Leah opted to make her own version of the prints I adored. Can you say “blessed”? I am still thrilled […]
