most cheerful happy and bright nursery

I don't consider myself to be an interior designer...nor do I REALLY know how to put different prints of fabrics together properly....I just DO IT!  After each piece I completed and added to the room, I couldn't believe I.made.IT!

This nursery came together all SO ADORABLE, SO BRIGHT, SO CHEERFUL...here she is (I promise...pics can't even do it justice)
 I tried so hard to make sure the corners of the bedskirt would fit perfectly over the bed and not have gaps....long story on that piece I can't even get into it BUT IN THE END, it is 4 rows of ruffly beautifulness! I wish you could really see how awesome it turned out. 
 The valances, keeping with the flow of 4 ruffles but for visual interest...1 row of contrast!  No idea where that came from!  I guess I don't like to be predictable!
 The bumper pad....
 her beautiful name monogrammed, the tiny ruffle detail bordering her name, (we had this yellow & hot pink print that we didn't know exactly how to use it yet or tie it in with the outer bumper print which is the main print...but we really liked this yellow/pink print.  At the last minute I thought to make a teensy little ruffle  to border her name.....WOWOW!  My favorite part of all the little details!  The pleated ruffle at the top, cute!
 This is the main print....it's BEAUTIFUL with the pinks, purples, greens and you'd NEVER EVER know there are tiny mice playing in the field of flowers...you should have seen my reaction when I realized it there couldn't have been a better print for this room
 The coziest blanket ever!  Full of ruffles, full of softness!  btw, free motion quilting is absolutely fun, it really makes me feel like I'm an artist painting a beautiful canvas!  (If only my sewing machine would truely not give me fits!)
With MANY interruptions, lots of side tractedness, out of town too many times, caring for sick little ones, and just...life...this nursery finally came together and has got to be one of the most adorable nurseries!
Don't ask me to pick my favorite piece!  I had SO.MUCH.FUN. and best of all, for a beautiful friend of mine whose baby is just as beautiful!  Thank you Andrea for allowing me to make her nursery a one of a kind!  I'm so glad she likes!!!

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...
