i just finished designing this blog for rebecca, a wonderful mom that blogs about life, family and motherhood.
I recently discovered the adorable patterns by Sandi Henderson... and made cyra the single ruffle pant. And yes, I'm happy to say i finally dusted off my new serger that my darling husband surprised me with.
I came home from a trip six months ago and returned to this amazing serger on my sewing table..
he even tied a bow around it.. how sweet is that?
so now that I can actually thread it and I'm not so terrified of the blades.. i'm totally into serging, plus i have the sweetest husband ever, life is good.
i purchased this adorable letterpress alphabet poster from sycamore street press. And bought a frame that was already matted from a local craft store. I then used a spray adhesive to cover the mat with a matching fabric.
I came home to a beautiful surprise on my doorstep..
a couple weeks ago helen ward and I arranged a swap. log pillows for this amazing art, paper entomology.. it makes me so happy to look at... i can't even explain..now where to hang? she's a really talented artist.. check out her creations featured on her blog
Last year I made roman shades for our kitchen.. I bought the fabric from ikea.. and used this website to get a custom kit that would fit out windows. the kit came with a pattern that was really easy to follow.
with cyra spending alot of time outside I needed a way to store her toys, the dog's toys and so on.. so I bought this big metal bucket I found at home depot. functional.. but not an eye sore.
Cyra also LOVES to play in sand.. but I did not want to purchase a sand box, besides the fact that they are unattractive.. given my daugher.. she'll use it for a week and then move on. So I used a under the bed plastic storage bin I got at target.. and also at home depot bought a bag a play sand.
So I finally finished a few pillows sold on etsy. I've made a couple changes to how I make them.
They now have and invisible zipper to which makes for easy cleaning.. and they are more "green" because you can stuff them with scrap fabric.. or old clothing.. how sweet is that?
Now that they are less costly to ship! check my etsy shop for the updated listings!
here they are unstuffed
