New Carseat Cover

I've seen people sell these and show them on blogs and I've been meaning to do it for OVER 5 MONTHS NOW!  (notice Chloe is 5 months...)..oh well...better late than never...

I love it, it's cutesie but not pink...
And it was SUPER quick because I just recovered the old seat cover so I didn't have to re-pad it or anything :)

Baby Skeletons

I'm sure everyone has seen those shirts where there's a baby skeleton in the mom's belly...well I made one with my neighbor Megan since she's pregnant and it's perfect timing to announce it!  IT was alot of fun!  We printed some examples and of course I have plenty of fabric...and my mom left some iron-on witchery here from the last time she visited :)

Here's how it went :)

 Our boys LOVE playing together, it's so great to have friends so close :)

And here it is!  Turned out great I think :)

Halloween 2011

For Halloween I painted some old ceramic jars orange...

 Made some plaster skulls with Cheryl...

 Covered my boxes with Halloween fabric...

 Put up these awesome witches' hats from Uncles!

yeah for Halloween!

Hair stuff for Chloe...

I got these awesome elastic headbands from teh dallar store so I pulled out some cutesy ribbon I had and made a couple of headbands for her...so fun!

I also had some old zippers, and I had seen this on a couple of blogs, so I made a zipper on too...

wall of fish!

So I got some glass bricks from my uncles that they used to use for plants ect...and as soon as I saw them I thought "FISH"!!!  So I got some fish rocks and some fish and tried it out...so cute!

Painted Barbie Horses

I saw this cool idea on pinterest for using toy horses for decor...and I kept thinking, what a genius idea!    That way if Alvin does get his hands on them it's not some porcelain thing that's going to break...they're toys...so I got two at a garage sale a few weeks ago and painted them :)

wall panels

I found this cool discarded wood that had these designed carved into them, and I thought, with some 1x3 studs I could make these nice wall panels for above the bed...so Tay cut them to matching heights (there were originally three longer ones...) and I backed them with some 1x3 pieces to give them some depth and primed and painted them :)
