I know I say this every time I share customer photos … but I LOVE getting pictures of cuties wearing my tees.  It is so fun and completely makes my day!

Today I get to share some adorable party pictures from a Wild West Hoe-Down by Laura of Cupcakes and Lemonade.  Laura put this party together for her 3 daughters … and she did an amazing job.

You can tell by the smiles … it was a good day!

Laura shares some of her party details in her own words …

For more party details loaded with party photos, visit Cupcakes and Lemonade.  You can also stop by Laura’s shop which is full of fun, colorful party designs.

I know this is semi inappropriate, but i like it…

Happy Friday!!!

I am a big fan of Pinterest … by big, I mean I could spend 19.5 hours a day pinning ideas, recipes and cute outfits.  Addictive! I have been pinning diy projects for a couple months and have accrued quite the collection.  The problem is that I actually want to do ALL of them … but I can’t.  I don’t have the time!  So I have to choose one project for this week … that is the hard part!

Bathroom Storage from the one of my favorite blogs … Dear Lillie …

Or the perfect door organization idea for my craft room by Brooklyn Limestone …

Such a hard decision … Stay tuned to find out what I decided!

Want to see all of my diy finds … follow me on on Pinterest here!

I worked on a colorful vintage cake stand over the holidays.  I shouldn’t say it was work … as one of my favorite things is pairing up new fabrics, colors, prints, etc.  I packaged it up and shipped it off to Erika of Letter B … and then went about my crazy holiday schedule. A couple weeks later, these arrived in my email …

It was a cute tee when I packaged it up and shipped it off … but it just looks better on a happy birthday girl holding a giant lollipop!

and for my absolute favorite photo …

There’s something about her little hands clutching the giant lollipop … with my tee peeking out from behind … LOVE it!

A huge Thank You to Erika for her amazing photos.  I will be adding this little number to my shop!

Garland is just fun!  I keep things pretty simple around my house … but i can’t say no to garland.  I love it all!

A little bit of color …

It takes me a while to decorate.  I am not one of those super talented people that can shop for 2 days and …. ta da … new room!  It takes me months. I shop everything from antique sales, garage sales, discount stores and more.  Sometimes I am not actually looking for something to buy but for inspiration.  The good news for my family is that the inspiration finally hit me a couple nights ago … and I finished my corkboard wall … mostly.  I am sure I will add something in a couple months but for now … it is done!

Have a great Wednesday!

This is not my normal weeknight dinner.  It just looked so pretty and delicious when I saw it over at Sacramento Street.  Also, my husband grew up eating grits … polenta = grits.  So, this is my way of thanking him for tolerating my vegetarianism:)

It was easy.  I was a little nervous about poaching eggs but it was a simple process … and so healthy.  Perfect for a cold winter day.

These are actually the valentine’s that Ava Kate did last year.  They are easy and fun … and can be made with items you likely already have!

You will need …

• card stock …. any color
• scrap fabric
• fabric stiffener or spray starch
• sewing machine & thread
• printer
• circle cutter and/or scissors

Using fabric stiffener, I treated my scrap fabric.  You could use spray starch and iron the fabric as well. I used a shabby floral and a pink polka dot for my fabrics.  The amount of fabric you need depends on the number of valentines you are making … but about the size of an 8.5 x 11″ piece of paper should be enough fabric.

After treating my fabric, I created a simple “Happy Valentine’s Day” word document.   I used a labels template that was already on my computer and then printed it on card stock.  Each “Happy Valentine’s Day” is spaced perfectly and makes cutting your paper easy.

I used a circle cutter to cut my circles out of the fabric.  The circle cutter will only work with fabric that has been stiffened.  If you don’t have a circle cutter, you can always cut circles the old fashioned way:)  Find a couple jars around the house to trace the circles.  A spice jar or sprinkles lid are perfect for this.  You will want 2 different sizes.

My circle sizes were 1.5″  and 1″  … and work perfectly for layering!  I cut the valentines to size and had Ava sign her name to all of them.  Here is what they look like with the fabric circles layered over each other.

A simple straight stitch on the sewing machine completes them …

I love the how the fabric circles give the valentine a little dimension.  You can fold them forward a bit to make them stick out even more …

Attach these to your little one’s favorite candy and you are done!

I know … I know … the holidays are over!  But look at these smiles …

Ebony of Sparkling Events & Design sent me these pictures of her girls in my Vintage Rudolph design.  I had to share.  Their excitement is contagious!  I know it can’t last year round … but wouldn’t it be fun if it could!

SHOP UPDATE: I reopened my shop last night but only for a few days.  We have a little surprise for our kids next week which will require all of my time:)  I will reopen on 1/23 for good!
