If I Were 6 This Is What I Would Wear!

Do people ever say to you, "That looks just like you!" Well, I usually get that from my mom or my sisters when it comes to any clothing with applique, embroidery, rounded collars or puffy sleeves. They know me pretty well. Now, if only I could squeeze into a 6X, I'd be set in these adorable clothes!

It's in the Details

I don't know if I could live in this room, but I like it. I especially like the way the mirror was hung with funky striped ribbon. Hmmm...may have to steal that idea somewhere!

I Love Patchwork!

The title basically sums this one up--I love patchwork! Below are some pictures of patchwork items that I've either made or have been inspired by. Hope you are inspired to mix things up with fabric too!

The fabric on this pillow is actually all one piece--a dream come true for someone like me!

This ottoman inspired me to create a patchwork top for an old coffee table we had.

Adorable wall of vintage wallpapers.

Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!!

We recently celebrated birthdays for both of our kiddos. Sawyer turned 4 and Rawley turned 1. This post is to help open your eyes to ways that you can create a fun, creative birthday cake without being a Wilton Cake Decorating Genuis! (Think scrapbook paper flowers, craft letters covered in glitter, 90% off Christmas decorations, etc.) These cakes both got great reactions from the kids-- which is what it's all about!

This is the "And Eat it Too" part!! Yikes:)

Plaque You Won't Need a Dentist For!

Below are some fun ways to use simple unfinished wood plaques. Most of the ideas involve scrapbook paper, black craft paint and sandpaper. Let your imagine run wild with more creative ideas using plaques in your own home!

Add your own personal photos for a custom look.

How about making coasters or a wall full of different sized plaques with family pictures and silhouettes? The possibilities are endless--and inexpensive!!

On the Bench!!

I have a thing for built-in benches. Something about them makes me imagine curling up on a rainy morning with my Bible and coffee and "Being Still." Oh...wait...was that a cry...maybe he'll find his pacifier...quiet...quiet...waaaaahhhhh! Nice thought.

Maybe I'll just look at some of my favorite PICTURES of cozy corners. Actually, this is a wonderful season to be in as a mom. There will always be time for rain and coffee...However, now is always the season for the Word!

Eye Candy from Mockingbird Manor

If you live in or near Oklahoma City, you must visit Mockingbird Manor on Western Ave. I took these pictures recently during a window shopping trip with my sister. It's always much more fun to go with someone else who appreciates turquoise antlers as much as yourself! Enjoy!
