Rustic Centerpiece

My husband is about to turn thirty and I'm throwing a him a party. We however have very different ideas about what makes a party. I want a theme and a ton of decorations and he wants good food and his closest friends. Like anything else when it comes to marriage, compromise is the key.  I had to change my theme to something more manly and tone down the decorations. I was also asked to change to invitaions because I made it rhyme and he found that to be too childish. It's his birthday and I want him to enjoy himself so I'm working hard to come up with something simple enough for him and festive enough for me. I'm going with an outdoor theme and this is the first of my creations.

Bandana T-shirt

I made my daughter an outfit for the fourth but I didn't have anything for my son. I asked him if he wanted to pick something out from the store or if he wanted me to make it. He decided Mommy should make it and after giving it some thought I came up with an idea.

Easy A-rt

Vinyl wall art can be pretty expensive and not eveyone owns an electronic cutter. I didn't have a cartridge for the image I wanted so after some trial and error, I came with and idea that worked. You can easily create customized,  cost effective vinyl letters and shapes with or without a cutter.

E~I~E~I~ART

I needed to find some fabulous art to go with the bedding I made for my daughter's room.  After searching high and low I still had nothing. The only thing left to do was make my own. Her quilt is kind of a modern take on a farm and that gave me an Idea.

Baby Monet

When my son turned 2  1/2 I was ready to change his nursery to a toddler room. He was attached to the old decor because they were his things and he wasn't happy with the changes. That gave me idea!
 I decided to make him a part of the redecorating in hopes that if he got to help the new things would begin to feel like his too.
