Preparing for fall....

Today kinda feels a little fall like and I am soooo glad for a couple of reasons. One it's my very favorite time of the year, love the colors, the temps, the foods and even like the clothes for this season the best! And the other is that I am going to be in a craft show in just a little over a week and I have been crafting nothing but fall stuff and so I am glad that it's beginning to feel like fall although chances are here in Texas it will be in the 90's within a couple of days, just sayin...
So I want to teeeaasssee you with a few things that I have made for my craft show.

A special little girls room, take 2!

You may have seen this post before BUT that was with my old yucky camera. I reshot all the pics with my new camera... because the quality was soooo bad. This room is just so much fun, love the colors! So here goes round 2!
I'm so excited to show you my little niece Macy's room. She is 3 and a doll, AND going to be a big sister in about 7 months. I'm sooo excited! Ok, so I'm not going to do a lot of talking, just show you what we came up with. The majority of this was Macy's moms' idea, she just needed help from me and her mom to make it happen.

Macy wanted a red bed, so a red bed she got. This was made from 2 doors and some trim.

Sweet little pillows, we had so much fun making these, (but not the green one, it's from Home Goods and yes Macy has already pulled some of the pom poms off).

We shopped, FOREVER for bedding. Couldn't find just what we wanted to we settled for this quilt and then made coordinating pieces for it. The main colors are blue, red and pink.

 I love the ruffles pillow!

This hangs above Macy's bed. It is huge, like 4 feet wide I think.

 Cute little flower details.

And a couple of reading shelves made out of a cabinet door.

 This is the other side of her bed, little bulletin boards for her coloring pages.

And her furniture is sooo pretty! She got it from a local flea market already painted, that makes me love it more! Love the little cherry fabric on the bench.

And her curtains, so sweet.

 I showed these before but now you can see how they work in the room.

 I loved paper dolls as a kid, so of course these are just perfect!

Her mama made this out of a dollar store frame. And yes, it is soooo true, at least I know she makes my life sweeter! You know I am anxiously awaiting to find out what the next baby is and how will we decorate "it's" room??? Update!!!! IT'S A GIRL!!! Of course, I would have been just as happy with a boy, since I have 3 of my own. :)

So I want to teeeaasssee you with a few things that I have made for my craft show.

I was inspired by a few blogs out there.

 
These pumpkins I found on a blog I have followed for a while called Tattered & Timeless. Tammy is such a sweetheart and has began selling at a booth in her area.  I have made several pumpkins in all shapes, colors and sizes.

And then I stumbled upon a new blog called Today Is My Someday and I was inspired by a fall wreath she just made. I used different fabrics than hers, most of mine are made out of old clothing, coats and upholstery fabric but I really liked the look of her wreath with the burlap at the top so I incorporated it into my wreath.

 I love these flowers, parts of them are from leather and suede coats.

These flowers are made from burlap, felt and upholstery fabrics and a bit of yarn and ribbon too!

Love these colors! I'm excited but nervous, I should have started working on this months ago. Not sure what I was thinking trying to pull it together in just a month. This is the first craft show I have done in years! I am hoping to get a booth at a local shop once this is done.
So I have all lots more for sell, but if you want to see it you'll need to come to the craft show!

Fall on the Mound

September 24th, 9:00-4:00

Trietsch United Methodist Church

Flower Mound, TX. 

There will be 250 vendors there so lots to choose from. Hope to see you there!

Accessorizing above your cabinets

I hope everyone had a great Labor day weekend but mostly I hope if you have been in the middle of this awful heat wave this summer you have finally gotten some relief! We finally did here in Texas! It has been glorious!!! I went to see my sister in East Texas and spent some time doing one of my fav past times, that would be decorating! She is changing up her colors and giving everything an update. I want to share what we did above the cabinets.

 She is changing to blues, greens and golds AND also to the "less is more" style.

She lives out in the country so when we begin these projects it usually involves some creative alternatives. There are no stores close by. We just happened to have some rustic wood ( did I mention their son runs a pallet making place?).

We were low on "stuff" but had  lots of space so I made this grocery sign to fill it in. I LOVE IT! I can't stop thinking about it!!! Now I need one for my house. Isn't that always the ways it goes???

You can see the patina of the wood better up close. Right now I am thinking it's probably one of my favorite things I have ever made, did I say I love it, cause I do!

I loved it so much I had to make 2 more, eggs and milk! My niece said if I make them for her house she wants cupcakes and chocolate! That sounds good to me too!

 I think we're both pretty happy how it all came together with stuff she had laying around. You can't see in that basket, but it's plastic Easter eggs spray painted off white. Hey a girls gotta go with what she's got!
So keep checking back because I think I just became a sign maker! And by the way, loving my new camera!!!!

My new baby!

Well if you have followed me at all you know one thing. I have a horrible camera! Not anymore!!! Momma got a new baby!

Isn't she beautiful???? I haven't named her yet but I'm working on it. She came with instructions but I am a little challenged in this area I think so if you have any great tips or know of a great source out there to help me figure her out let me know. Best part... she doesn't keep me up at night. I just love her!
