Kirt

Kaffe Fassett Pencils

I am making a "kirt" tonight for my almost 2 year old. Her big birthday is tomorrow. She loves skirts, or kirts as she calls them. This is one of the fabrics I bought and it seems fitting since she is the youngest artist I know.

Somewhere

I think these are so fantastic. The vivid color is refreshing. And I like her story. The artist is Michelle Armas, based out of Georgia. http://www.michellearmas.bigcartel.com/

Inspiration

I recently was looking at old pictures of my little girls nursery. Well, now its her room, 2 years ago, it was her nursery. Same room, different name. I got her inspiration from a necklace I made and I wanted to walk down memory lane before she turns 2!

Baby Boy

I have been helping a friend with her nursery. She is having a boy in August ( see post from June 1.) We have been designing via email which feels very high tech! Here is what we have so far:
Dwell Studio Menagerie Bedding
Orange Polka Dot from Amy Butler for window valances
Dash and Albert Rug in Stockholm
And here are some other pieces I would add:
Pottery Barn Crib
Pottery Barn Glider in cream with the orange polka dot pillow

Cute Card

I came across this card while looking for birthday party invitations. Super cute! Thanks Tiny Prints.

Baby Blanket

I made a darling baby blanket for a friend having a baby boy. While this doesn't scream baby blue boats or stripes, it is a happy marriage between mama's tastes and this precious baby boy. And lets face it, we like it!

New necklaces

These are new Long and Lean necklaces. The coral and brown I had to keep because I liked it so much. But the other two you can find at Chrysalis. Beauts!

Birthday Party

I have been trying to plan my almost little girls 2 year old birthday party. Here are a few picures of our girls party last year. We had a Florida themed party and I am having a hard time topping it! For this party, we had family over and dined on shrimp and salad for supper. I hung cut out circles from the ceiling, festive and to represent underwater seawood. I painted the mermaid for decoration and had Camille's photo taken in front of it.  I used a Florida shaped cookie cutter to make the cakes. I just happened to have one on hand! I hung lei's over the back of the kids chairs and used a fabric remenant for the table cloth. The balloons added a fun punch to the entryway to the dining room. Loved it!

Chevron

I am into the chevron pattern these days. Partly because in a lot of my rooms in my house, I have exhausted all other patterns and the chevron is new and fresh! Actually, I am working on a green chevron coverlet for our bed. I am still trying to piece it all together. But here are some great uses of chevron thanks to AmyAtlas.com and LiveLikeYou.com.
