I’ve been blogged!

3 Aug

My Jenn Ski Alphabet Art I made for the nursery was blogged over at Tiny Decor (the original source for my inspiration).  They were asking for photos of projects that had been inspired by their Alphabet Card Mural, so I gladly sent them a photo.  Thanks, Jackie! Check it out here! ... View Post

$110 Kitchen Redesign

30 Jul

When JD and I purchased out house last year we had BIG plans for the kitchen.  Honestly, the entire thing needs to be gutted.  The cabinets are old and shoddy and though the counters and floors are newer, they are crooked and just not our style.  So when we moved in, we did NOTHING to the kitchen, ...

Spool Bird Mobile, Take 2!

24 Jul

Oh gosh, I FINALLY finished the bird mobile for my friend (her baby is a month old...eeek!).  Between not being motivated due to the heat and balancing issues with the branches, it has taken me WAY too long.

Easy “Custom” Curtains

11 Jun
Easy custom DIY baby curtains

I was originally planning on making all the bedding and curtains for the nursery, but being pregnant has made me a little tired and lazy (plus I want to concentrate on the fun items, like the quilt and a bird mobile).  I am VERY slowly working on the quilt (which will probably serve as a wall ...
