dedicated to the fab angie d.....

I haven't been blogging much. Sorry. Our new house is a blank canvas and I have overloaded myself with projects and tasks to give our home more color. Literally. The play room is now the most exquisite shade of teal. And baby girl's closet will soon be a fabulous peachy pink. I will eventually have a sunshine yellow laundry room, but that is [sadly] much further on my list. Besides painting, I have been sewing and crafting. Mostly for baby girl. I wanted her room to have a certain feel, which has resulted in me making everything from scratch. Custom bedding (halfway done), refurbished furniture (don't even want to think about tackling that), precious decor (pinterest has inspired me beyond imagine). I am thrilled with how everything is turning out. Even if I swear I will never craft again midway through a project. Here is what I have done so far:

Map airplane garland strung up in the toy room. The TEAL toy room. Much more mapiness to come in here.

Butterfly mobile for baby girl's room. Took FOREVER. Punched thousands of butterflies. Then sewed them together. But it is beautiful.

Flower ball for baby girl's room. Ran out of this paper, had to pull out the flowers, and start over with new paper. Lame. Will have [shimmery] pink, white, and light silver flower balls when finished.

baby girl's blankets. One on the left is soooooo soft. One in the right is for her crib (& the fabric used throughout her room).
Scalloped banner for baby girl's room. LOVE IT. And I love her walls, which are a lovely shade of grey.

I am in bliss. :)

Ok, I just LOVE everything! You surely must already know this, but it looks absolutely amazing. AMAZING.

And the big difference between you and me, is you run out of paper, take everything off, and start over with new paper. I run out of paper, use some other close-enough paper, and hope no one notices.
