I used Tracy Porter’s Poetic Wonderlust bedding in my camper & I bought enough to make a cover for my cot. I thought it would be perfect for a lounge outside of my camper. I love this fabric!

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers....
I’m working on a quick & easy water can. A little paint, napkins & ModPodge!

You know, she’s the gal that likes to refurbish chairs! I was looking at a chair today and I started thinking about all the chairs I have reapolstered & upcycled over the past 5 years. There are too many to count, but here are past post pictures from my blog. I have sold most of these chairs at vintage shows. I love to do chairs because each one has its own personality! Do you have a favorite?

I decorated a little area in the guest bedroom with vintage baby items that are from our family. One christening outfit was my husband’s & the other was my son’s. My mom wasn’t a keeper of our childhood mementos, but my grandma was, so I have a few of my mom’s baby keepsakes. Did you keep your precious keepsakes?

This last year I switched my art room with my son’s old bedroom. I cleaned out the closet & put all my extra clothes, shoes, etc. in it. I wanted it to be a functional space with a little edge to it. I kept some of my son’s drawings from high school and included them in both the closet & guest room.
I then painted one wall in the bedroom a very dark gray. I hung a round mirror & a drawing on the dark wall. I put linen bedding and a bunch of pretty random pillows on the bed. I wanted it super comfortable. I put the t.v. on an easel from my art room, and added a comfy chair. It was an easy change and a gallon of paint!

I saw this quilt top and fell in love with it. It isn’t quite finished, but it shouldn’t take me too long to appliqué the last block. I’m going to quilt it with colorful embroidery thread. How cute is this going to be?!

I’m going to be a grandma! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Baby Jacob should be arriving at the end of July. The baby shower was a few weeks ago and it was so much fun to be able to decorate the venue. I also volunteered to get the cake & deserts thinking all you had to do was call someone who specializes in this. Little did I know you have to order things months in advance. I ended up making the cake, cookies and cupcakes myself. It was a tiny bit stressful because I have never used fondant or decorated pretty cookies before. This is how it all turned out!

I have been working on my creative space so that it is pretty, functional and I know where everything is. This is something I have been working on for as long as I can remember! It is an ongoing process, but one that gives me peace when I create in this room.

This is a quilt that I am putting together with found floral fabric and new fabric that has a vintage feel to it.  Just a fun project that I am experimenting with!

This is a baby quilt that I started a long time ago and finally finished!  I had it all ready to quilt but didn't like the fabric on the back, and I tried to quilt it with the sewing machine.  Big mistake! I took it apart, found fabric that I liked for the back and hand quilted it.  I made the binding with a petty pink material, and had enough fabric left for a gift bag.
