My latest crafts for a baby girl on the way!






















I had so much fun making all these goodies!  The Michael Miller theme was super fun to work with.  I even made a cute coffee cozy for the mom to be to keep in her purse, and her coffee cup will now match her diaper bag and other fun accessories!  The memo boards and boxes were coordinated to the preference of the girl's favorite colors and I forced myself to use stuff I have on hand!  That was a challenge, but felt good to start using up the over abundance of craft supplies I have sitting at home.  I am excited to be making way more coffee cozy holders for teacher gifts this year.  Super easy, fun, and cost savvy to make!  There are a bazillion on etsy and eBay, so I am having fun gathering likes/dislikes/ideas for mine!

Yusha's College Blanket and Pillow Set! Go Cougars!

Here is the blanket and matching pillow for Yusha.  She picked out her fabrics with a little help from me, and then I designed it along with Ed's input.  A very busy print to blend together, but we feel with the smaller strips, I was able to pull in the colors together quite nicely.  She is so THRILLED!  She loves it! Oh and the pillow is reversable.  One last thing, I normally don't show my house clothes in pictures, but Madalyn insisted she took great pics of me sewing, so me and my nasty sewing clothes and a tank top to boot.  Sorry!

Madalyn's Zebra Room Part 1

We have not finished the walls. We need to paint the blue wall, add some different shelving design, remove other shelves, etc... Also, may rearrange her furniture, AGAIN!  So, this is just part 1 of what I have done so far.  All the toss pillows on the bed were made by my, except the solid pink blob pillow.  Also, Made her a custom valance from a pottery barn teen sheet I bought off of eBay and the pink is from the bed skirt that came from her bedding.  Also, all switchplates/outlet covers, and memo board was made in Pottery Barn Teen from the same sheet!  Enjoy!  Madalyn made the Live, Laugh, Love sign!  I think she did a great job!

Wall Letters for the Kids!

This was a fun craft night!  When you have four kids and they all have long names, you tend to just settle for one letter per kid on the wall, and I chose to do that one letter up nice and big for them!  Turned out super cute and less cluttered on the wall to have two names on the wall in the boys' room.
