Actopus to Zelephant Nursery

I have had a few people ask me to post my alphabet card project. So, i saw this picture and liked it for hte babies room. I thought i would try it a little different though.

I bought these cards from michaels for about 6.50 and 2 canvases as well.

Add a little mod podge and this is what i came up with.

Here is what it looks like in the room, on the wall. Don't mind bella's little noggin. She loves playing the blocks i made.

Speaking of blocks...here they are. I know i am going a little over board with the "theme" but these dont necessarily have to stay in the room and like i said, the kids love them!

I went to the Jenn Ski Etsy shop (the designer of this cute collection) and found these cute pictures to put in bella's old owl frames.

Anyways. The nursery isn't really done yet, but this is a start!

Finished...After 3 Years

I know there are many of you that were around when i was BEGGING for a new bedroom set. We had this great log bed that paul built. I love it, but it just doesnt really flow with my decorating style. I love it in the guest room or in a cabin, just not our room. I want our room to be our little get away and that just wasnt happening. So, anyways it turns out that paul and i never really came to a solid agreement on getting this bed, but....well, it ended up in our room anyways. I did choose a less expensive dresser to go with it though, hoping to make paul a little happier about coming home to a new bedroom set. (just so you all know, paul has been known to come home with a car, jeep, or motorcycle). So, after a few years in our house we finally have it done!

The "H" will be replaced with the baby's sillhouette someday

Here is Bella's sillhouette

Hudson's sillhouette...love the curl in the hair.

Boppy Makeover!

I recently went to Babies R Us in search of a new boppy cover. I got this boppy with hudson because it was the only "boy" looking one they had.

Well, its not my favorite and i thought it was time for an update. Thanks again to Etsy i found some cute fabric and took on the challenge of making a cover. Here is a close up of the fabrics. Again, Amy Butler (that woman is a genious) and its oh so cute!

I dont know if you can tell, but there are some funky pleat things i had to put in. I should have gone with a zipper version, but i didnt have on on hand and knowing me, i just try and make it work with what i have. Not always the best choice. It ended up having a flap opening that velcros shut. It turned out ok...unless you look to close that is.

Ahh...much better if i do say so myself.

New Birdie Wrap Carriers

As most of you know i have been so busy that i have had to take a break from Tweetie Pie Baby. Lately we have had a few friends that want to place orders for wraps. I wanted to make them a little more special so here is what i came up with. Arent they cute! This is one i sent to a friend in denver.

I just had to make one for myself, so here is Little Baby Boy Haynie's (no....we still dont have a name) new wrap. Not the best picture of it, but I cant wait to cuddle him nice and close!

Make Your Own Nursing Cover

I bought this super cute Amy Butler fabric on clearance at Etsy and decided to make a nursing cover with it. It was so easy and only took about 30 min to do! I just googled "make your own nursing cover" and found tons of tutorials. I used this one from Little Birdie Secrets and it worked out great. I can't wait for this little man to come!

Sewing Room Pics

So, its not quite as put together as my dream sewing room, but thats ok cause i love it. Here is the inspirations picture

And here are a few real pictures from the room. I drew the branches on the wall then painted it. I found this great idea on the design dazzle blog to put real flowers on and i loved it

Brian and Sarah gave us their outcast bookcase (which was that orange-ish oak color) and i decided to paint it off white and antique it. I love how it turned out!

I was so sad to paint over Bella's pink room (new pics coming soon!) that i wanted a super girly room in the house. If not for Bella, then for me!

Changing Things Up

So, its not like there has been much to follow here lately anyways, but i wanted to let you all in on a few changes. Paul has asked me a few times to make our blog private and i have been putting it off. I decided it was time to figure this all out. Heres the plan...This blog will remain public, but our family blog that i switched from a while ago will be where we post all our personal family stuff and it will be private.This blog is just going to stay for craft and diy stuff to share with you all. Our personal blog in case you forgot is http://www.paulandjenna.blogspot.com

leave your email either here or there so i can add you!
