Creating A Pretty & Simple Life
Last week the htgawcrafting challenge took us back to 80’s for a few beats. We made a baby headband with bows using the MINC Foil Applicator (my favorite crafting tool). The bows had a bit of an 80’s-esque feel. Well for our challenge this week I decided to dip back to another fun decade – the 90’s. This week’s challenge is Clueless pens. I think
Today Scarlett is one month old and it has been an amazing 30 days. Now that we have a little girl and a little boy, there are so many changes in our house. One thing that hasn’t changed though is their wardrobe. That’s right. This pink loving mama saves her pennies by dressing her little girl in her son’s old onesies. I know that seems 100%
I can’t believe there are only four days left till Baby Girl Finch arrives! With that being said, my mind is a little preoccupied these days with all things BABY! That’s why tonight’s How To Get Away With Crafting project is baby-themed. This project is about creating a special way to preserve the sweetest of baby memories – his or her first 10 days. (Note:
Is it just me, or does it seem like finding the perfect 1st birthday gift for your little one’s friend is one of the great challenges of being a new mom? Maybe it’s just me. My fear is that I’m going to buy the same gift as someone else. So I try when I can to DIY my gifts for little ones. I’ve done everything
I am loving this star theme for the nursery. I think it is turning out to be a great neutral way to add some fun to the room for my Westley and his little sister. I can’t believe we only have 40 days left! Ahhh! So to continue with our nursery themed htgawcrafting challenge, I wanted to add some star wands as decoration. I thought
After fighting my asthma for the past week, and going to the ER, I finally got some good news. Baby Girl Finch’s delivery dates has been scheduled! I’m so excited! I’m also realizing I need to get moving on updating the nursery. I originally planned on overhauling the entire room so it would be cream and gold. But after looking at Westley’s rainbow mobile to inspire
Okay, so being that I’m at 32 weeks I wanted to get things ready for Baby Girl Finch. This month and next month, the htgawcrafting challenge will mostly be dedicated to awesome nursery DIYs. This one was inspired by two projects I’ve done previously. When I was designing my son’s room, I knew I wanted to make a black & white mobile for him. I remembered
With 2016 right around the corner, I’m all about sprucing up my office with a new look. I decided to look for some inspiration on Instagram and I wasn’t disappointed. Here’s is the pretty Instagram pic from Brit+ Co that sparked my creativity. I loved the idea of using pretty confetti to decorate my desk accessories especially to ring in the new year. After reading the
I’ve been wanting to do something with Westley’s window for awhile now. I really haven’t done much with his nursery since he was born. So tonight I had the chance to change things up a bit. Lately, Wes has really been attached to his little night light. I thought I would kick it up a notch and turn his entire window into a night light —
So we start to miss of friends and family around this time of the year – especially people who are so far away. Right now my sister is living in South Korea and I miss her terribly. I also miss one of my good friends from SoCal. So tonight’s challenge is going to be about doing something, not because of the holidays, but because I
