Andrea's Nursery

LOOK AT WHAT WAS AT MY DOORSTEP.......YAAAY!  I hate I'm going out of town tomorrow, this is like money burning in my pocket...except I didn't have to pay for this and I know what I'm doing with these prints...(unlike money in your pocket when you don't know where to start shopping!  ha!)  OH my, so many things will come out of this stack of fabrics, 'Lord, help guide every stitch for the new baby's room'!!!

Skirt of many ruffles

So, I became addicted to www.pinterest.com and came across this skirt (pinned on my board) and thought, 'OH, I could do this no problem'...............then I had a few cheerleaders and became pumped up about starting this project! Off to Joann's (not expecting to find fabric there that I'd actually like) and these five prints popped out so fast I knew I had to do this! OH SO FEMININE............but what a beast it was to add these ruffles (to a previously owned long black Ann Taylor skirt I hadn't worn in like a decade)! I think the skirt must weigh like 23 lbs! It ended up taking me a good 2 weeks to complete these and I was dreading each ruffle before I was halfway done...TIDYIOUS....rgh! I'm most excited about the tie I made for my little sweetheart to coordinate with this ruffly beast! pics to post soon btw, I'm not a model, hate modeling and my 6.5 year old was the photographer but I really wanted to post this creation!

The Dining Room Chairs

 I Corinthians 12:12-31 (Yes, I'm using my chairs as an illustration) You may not like a print, 2 prints together may not work great together either, but all together....IIIII think (it's perfect) , they all work together beautifully (just simple fun and whimsical)  Do they look shiny?  Really?  I'm smart...I have 3 children and did NOT want stains on this pretty fabric...SOOO, I shopped for months on laminated cottons (couldn't settle on just one print), oilcloths (not enough selections) so I did some homework and chose to iron-on vinyl before upholstering the chairs!   SMAAART Musical chairs anyone?

A Mothers workout

Dont worry moms if you don't spend an hour at the gym, really, save yourself the membership while you have children who can't change their own sheets, wash their clothes, do the dishes, give themselves a bath...and the list could go on. A moms workout: 1: Loading/unloading the dishes (with added leg lifts and squats)-take however long with all the interruptions of being a mommy 2: Throw a load of clothes in to wash (add some skips and hops along the way) 3: dilly dally (because you have children! And there's always the unplanned floor wrestling) 4: Should you clean the toilets?? If you happen to think about a bathroom break, sneak it in! 5: take sheets off ALL the beds (ok, that was a crazy act, I should have just done one room today) -work those buns, stretch those abs, breath deeply...now you have a bigger pile of laundry! 6: Refill kids drinks chug down some water yourself, you've worked hard already! 7: Think about what you really feel like do...
