I'm Home...Again.

Oh my goodness, it has been a week. In my earlier post, I said that I was in Vegas for a tax conference and came home on Thursday evening. That night we got a call that my husbands grandmother had some complications from a blood clot and was in the hospital, not doing well. Later that evening, we received the news that she had passed away. Friday morning we then took off to Northern California to be with some of his family. We made it home Monday night and I had every intention of starting some new blog worthy projects, but have A LOT of sewing to get done. I really really promise I will get some blogging done here soon! Thank you all again for being such devoted readers! I love you all!!

I'm Home

I have to apologize to all of my lovely readers!  I have been such a bad blogger and I am sorry! I left on Monday for a tax conference in Las Vegas and have neglected my blog.  Yes, you read that right, a tax conference.  Some of you may not know, but I am a part-time tax preparer and bookkeeper along with being an avid D.I.Y-er :)  Just so you can feel like you were there with me, here's where I was...

Now doesn't that look like fun!! Speaking of fun, we did have some of that along the way!

So, I promise I will get working on something soon once I settle back in.  What were you all up to this week? I'd love to hear about it!

Mirror Obsession

I have a love for big, oversized, ornate mirrors.  I really don't think that you could have enough of them in your home.  I love how you can cluster them together to make a statement on a large wall, or just hang one by itself to stand it's ground.  While perusing Pinterest, I realize that I see A LOT of amazing mirror pins that I thought I would share. 

This mirror here is amazing and I promise if I ever find one just like it, I will own it...just sayin'!

The clustering of these is perfect! I love the different sizes and shapes.

 These are adorable! I love the frameless look as well!

I really would love this one for Kaydence's room.  So cheery and bright. Amazing detailing too!

So, how many mirrors are too many in one house? Is there a limit?

Drowning in Muslin

I really hope many of you found my duvet cover tutorial useful! I have gotten a lot of great feedback on it, so thank you!  I had said in the post that if it seems too overwhelming or you just don't feel like taking the time to make it that you can order it from my etsy shop.  Oh my goodness have I had an overwhelming response to listing it!  I never ever thought people would love something that little old me made so much!  It's VERY sweet and I don't feel worthy of the recognition that the duvet cover is getting.  I honestly never thought that I would be making more than one at a time...but my thoughts were wrong.  So I am sorry if the blogging has been lacking lately, but I am working my little fingers to the bone (gladly) with etsy orders and trying to keep up.  Again, I am SO grateful for the opportunity that etsy gives to share my talents with people all over the world! 

Thank you again for all of your kind responses and support!

Home Tour- Kaydence's Updated Big Girl Room

The previous post of Kaydence's room is a bit outdated as we have done A LOT of changes to it. I think the only thing we have not done is change the wall color, and honestly that is only because I am too lazy to do it! I have to apologize for the pics because 

1.) I have a point and shoot camera 

2.) her lighting in her room is horrible! 

I think I got the best I could though! So here is Kaydence's Room!

I love how her room has turned out.  It seems like such a toddler room now instead of a baby room.  So fun and playful!

Etsy Shop Sale

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have been thinking a lot about Christmas shopping...yes I said it, Christmas shopping! I always have the best intentions of starting my shopping early, but never seem to follow through. So, I decided to help you all get a little motivated by having a sale until August 15th. I am offering 20% off all orders placed before August 15th with the coupon code HOLIDAY. And yes, that coupon code is good on EVERYTHING! So happy holiday shopping!

Looking Back

I don't know why I have been looking back so much lately at Kaydence's pictures, but it is really hitting me how much she has grown into a beautiful little lady.  It's hard for me to remember how small she was and how delicate.

Watching  her grow and having the honor of being able to hear her call me "mommy."

I can't wait to see where the Lord leads her in her life and am blessed to be able to guide her in her journey. I love you baby girl.
