Everyone tells you that each pregnancy and child is different from the last. And, like most pregnant people who hear all kinds of “wisdom” and advice from everyone they encounter, I just listened, nodded and went on my way. The thing is, it’s absolutely true! In my experience my son was easy-going, quiet, calm and ate…
Just like most people who surf the internet these days I have been consumed by Pinterest and the multitude of ideas available from easy crafts to full-on DIY home makeovers. I lean more toward the easy stuff that I can do between the little one’s naps and the carpool line. This is one of those projects…
Our family has been on a roll lately…last year we added four new members! For my sister-in-law it was her first pregnancy and twins to boot. A cousin welcomed her second little boy. As per usual, I wanted to make something to send rather than buy something from their registry. Granted, they probably wanted something…
Yep, more nursery tweaks for your enjoyment. This one was so simple. I only wanted to show it because I thought it might give hope to those of you out there, like me, that do not really have a budget for redecorating your spaces. Plus, I think it came out really cute! A little Holly Hobbie maybe, but…
I’m back again with more details about how I transformed my son’s nursery into a girlie space for our latest addition. One of my favorite spots to rest in our whole house is the rocker in our nursery. It’s a cool bent wood number with woven white fabric webbing. While very comfortable for relaxing it needed a little…
Hello Everyone! Have you missed me yet? Our new sweet little girl has really taken over any extra time I thought I might have, but I finally did get around to posting some info about her nursery. The full details are over at my home site, Kitsch Designs. I did want to share the details…
Okay, the lovely blue skies that we have been experiencing lately are making it tough to stay indoors. Unfortunately this week the bright days have been quite deceptive since the temps have been down in the 50’s. Don’t you just love those early spring mornings when you get up, look out the window, don something springy and then…
I’m sure many of you are like me in that you see textile items for what they are, fabric! So, when thrifting I often sift through the housewares textile section, not only in hopes of finding the occasional vintage piece, but to add to my newer fabric stash as well. There is nothing like finding old bedspreads,…
A while back I mentioned scoring a McCall’s pattern for $1.00 at a sale and was excited to whip up some pants for my Little Guy. After searching for appropriate spring fabric for a boy I finally came across a pale green seersucker cotton and decided it was time to attempt this pattern. I knew going in to…
This week as I looked around for fun bunny themed fabrics I came across the Spoonflower shop of Lori Caffey Designs and was thrilled with what she is creating! Here is a great, modern bunny print that I think would be just as nice as a pillow in the family room or a blanket in…
