It's a Boy!



I made this baby blanket for my friend who just had her first baby boy!!!!! I found the fabric months ago and the lamb patch. I sewed it all together and added a ruffle with help from my grandma (of course i didn't sew this all by myself!)

Transform to Turquoise

This hutch was purchased at a local goodwill for only $24.95! When Jen and I saw this beautiful piece we knew we had to have it and the color had to be turquoise.








After sanding and painting Jen distressed it a little bit and put on the poly for a good seal. Then for a surprise twist we added orange anthropology knobs, and the drawer pulls were existing.








There is a sneak peak into Jen and Mitch's new home. What do you think about the green wall and turquoise hitch in there dining room?

Here is a great cheap and easy way to decorate with words!!! It is just special words painted on wood and linked together with wire. You can hang it from the ceiling to make a mobile or hang it on the wall for inspiration.

Flaunt This!







I was recently at a jewlery party and was blown away by how gorgeous everything was! The designer and creator is Anne Hauge from St. Paul and her business is called 'flaunt this'. Her peices are so one of a kind and can go with anything in your wardrobe. Definatley check out her website and get on her mailing list so you can all attend the next show! These are just some of the things I purchased . . .

The Mustard Bird




New Look! This is one of our favorite fabrics from calico corners. Surprisingly we came up with our name "the mustard bird" and then we saw this fabric about a month later at our local Calico Corners. Don't you love when you find something so perfect?
