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. 

I decided it was time to redecorate & bedazzle my camper!  It all started when I found the Tracy Porter duvet & pillow sham.  I love the jewel colors, especially because they can be mixed & matched. I made the window treatments behind the bed with vintage lace & a peacock shawl.  I hung another vintage shawl above the side of the bed. I found the velvet Bella Notte throw at an antique store.  I love all the different textures on the bed! I left the cabinets the same for now.  I kept the same cushions that I recovered when I first got the camper, but added throws & pillows to jazz them up a bit.  I hung vintage linens on all the side windows and added new blue curtains to the front windows.  I have a crochet tablecloth on the table, sari placemats & floral plates that I had.  Last, I found a cute boho rug and I'm done for now.  I am ordering tin tiles for the ceiling, and I am going to re-paint the outside of my camper when it gets warm.

I'm working on a quilt using antique quilt blocks & vintage feed sacks. It's the perfect size for a camper bed or a quilt to cuddle with on the couch.  Here is one section.

I bought the tool box & tools, and the sewing machine at Michaels. 

Yesterday I painted and finished all of my loft furniture, and today I stained the floor, added the wallpaper and finished this industrial loft space.  I am trying to make everything by hand, but I really want to add some lighting, and I will need to read up and buy the wire & stuff.  I would like to have this loft space in Denver!  It's my favorite city and it would be fun to stay there when we visit.  Dream big, right!?!

I have been working on my space for a gallery opening this week!  I am so excited to be a part of this new adventure!  My space will feature vintage and handmade items.  A bit of that old & new things that I love!
I made curtains out of vintage linens, painted the door and filled the room with handmade pillows, some furniture and chic junk!  More details to come!

I have always wanted to decorate a dollhouse!  I bought a beautiful dollhouse about 30 years ago and started collecting furniture for it, but I didn't have any place to work on it or store it, so I got rid of it.  How sad!  Anyway, I went to a sale at a school on Saturday, and there was a homemade dollhouse.  I didn't buy it, and left.  Well, I was driving home and I thought I really should go back and look at the dollhouse, even though I didn't need it.  It came with some mismatched furniture, and I just couldn't pass it up.
I brought the dollhouse home and decided I had better make room for it in my art room, because if I didn't I would never finish it.  I have now completed 2 rooms and I am having so much fun decorating it!

I still need to finish the door by the stairs, but other than that the nursery is finished.
