Thank You Card...

Got a little crafty today with some paper and I wanted to share what I came up with...

 

So Excited...

I finally did it...I gave in and ordered some absolutely fantastic fabric from The Fat Quarter Shop. Of course by the time I finally got around to it, the designs I wanted were almost all gone...but I went ahead and grabbed what I could figuring I could make a nice blanket (or something) for the baby.  Is it sad that seeing the fabric swatches inside one tiny little envelope made my day THAT much better?!


The above swatch is a peek at the colors/patterns I am planning on for the baby's room/space/alcove ...whatever you want to call it. Stay tuned in the weeks to come as we continue to get ready for the newest member of our family!

Project To-Do List....

There are so many wonderful and creative sources of inspiration out there...I constantly see things and think "isn't that fabulous?!" or "wouldn't it be great if I could do that?!"  Well, I've been stock-piling some project ideas and want to share some of the things on my To-Do list for the near future...as well as a few photos of inspiration.
TO DO: The Girls Room

*Color scheme - dark pink/light pink/dark navy blue/spring green; flowers & polka dots*

Idea derived from a dress we found at Target (above) and some $1.00/yd clearance fabric

     -Butterfly Mobile

     -Silhouette Wall Art

     -Headboard/footboard Slipcovers

     -Head of bed Bulletin Boards

Inspiration - Butterfly Mobile

I already have one of these in the works...I wasn't able to locate the felt pompoms used above, so I improvised with some buttons from my scrap stash and some felt scraps I got from my mom...I hope to post photos of the finished project soon!

TO DO: The Playroom
     -Paint the bookcases, chalkboard table, and chairs
     -Paint the play kitchen
     -Creative cover for non-functioning wall heater
     -Chore Chart/FHE Chart
     -Curtains/shades, rug
     -Rain Gutter Bookshelves

Inspiration - Rain Gutter Bookshelves

My shelves wouldn't extend quite this long, but I love the idea of displaying the books like this...I already have alphabet letters in the playroom, but may change how they are displayed if I can figure something out with these rain gutters.

TO DO: The Front Room
     -Paint
     -French Door Frame Wall Art
     -New Temple Pic

Inspiration - Window Pane Photo

I love this, but would like to find a french door pane that I could use lengthwise. I would also like to put full photos in the pane, rather than smaller ones on the wire.

So many thoughts, too many decisions to make...which is where you all come in handy!! Now that I've put my ideas out there, I would love any suggestions, ideas, input, or tips you may have to share!!
