The Tea Towel Holder... 10 minutes to Sanity!

Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY ending today!!!








Okay so in our new house my hubby liked to place the tea towel on the oven handle, my dog, cat and two babies like to remove it, Peyton used it as a veil or cape and Joshua used it to play with the dog, the cat used it to sleep on and I refused to use it... so I needed another option. While in recovery my mom would clean my kitchen and house and she would place it through the top cupboard handle. Now that I am a bit better I saw a similar idea with a knitted top... but I KNOW I CAN'T KNIT! I can sew yes but knitting is just um... no... so I used a pot holder... a button and a tea towel... now we never have the tea towel on the floor.

All you do is baste your tea towel down the middle, then pull the bobbin thread to make it ruffle, then sew it to the pot holder. Do a blind stitch for the button and DONE!!! 10 minutes to Sanity!

I made these for the teachers at Joshua's school, and one for my mom, mother in law and friend (Elwynn's mommy)and she was going to give it to her son's teacher... but she fell in love with them just like I did... really once you use it you can't help it!!! They are fabulous and everyone who sees it will say how awesome they are!

PS. I have the blue towel in my kitchen... love the colours for summer... and I added a lady bug button!!!

Personalized Necklaces...

Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY ending today!!!




Okay so I am a huge fan of this look... I love to wear meaningful jewellery and throughout blog world i have seen MANY of these... but I love how different these are. The two tone tree is by far my favorite, but I also want one that has the kids birthstones... that in itself creates a bit of a "thing" because my kids birthdays are May and July so Emerald and Ruby.... Christmas much??

I stumbled across Bead Creations International and have fallen in love.

I am on my way to order some of these amazing necklaces... maybe at some point we can do a giveaway of these....

i think this will be my only post today as it is my little lady's birthday... but hope you all have an AMAZING DAY!

Don't forget to make your comments... winners will be chosen this weekend... OH and make sure to get as many entries as possible that means a comment on all posts!!!! GOOD LUCK so far the odds are great!

The New but Old Dresser

When I found out I was pregnant I knew I what I wanted as a theme for my babies room. I have always loved the stars and moon, my grandma who lives in Alabama (and I in Vancouver Canada) said when we moved here that no matter where I am in the world I can always look up to the moon and know we are looking at the same moon, the same stars and we can do that together every night. This created an obsession of staying up all night looking at the beautiful.

For Joshua's nursery I painted two walls a bright blue and two walls a navy blue, I then stenciled stars on the wall... I then took my dresser from when I was a little girl which was white and painted the navy blue for the dresser and the light blue for the drawers. I took the stencils and did the stars on the dresser. I loved this look so much that when we moved I re-did the room in our new house. But again we moved and it is time for a change and to move on. So I gave the dresser back to my dad who is the most amazing wood worker and he revamped it.

I chose a bright red for the dresser as Joshua's new room is in a red white and navy blue, and I wanted new metal cup handles. My dad fixed the drawers and as well as plugged the old holes for the handles and painted the whole dresser with a special plastic paint that makes it so that it is highly durable.

While I am still working on his room and waiting for Chris to paint at least the dresser is done... so here after all that take a look!!!

Before and after!

As before EVERY POST WILL HAVE A GIVEAWAY! You must become a follower and make a comment. On Saturday of every week I will pick a winner from each post with comments... once we hit 25 followers I will do a big giveaway....

Linking up to:

Dollar Store Remake... And Giveaway!

Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY ending today!







I am making little projects here and there for Peyton's room... Chris spent a lot of time painting our new house (thanks babe) and then a few weeks ago he did Peyton's room. A light shade of pedal pink... look at a light pink peonies and that is the exact colour... this room will take time... especially because my back has a mind of it's own... so it will have to be a collection of small projects.

Okay... so the rant is done.

I found this little sign the other day at the dollar store and I fell in love with it... it is cute in black and white but I wanted something a bit different for Peyton's room. So I took the primer and the pink of her room... so scrap fabric I had hanging around and here is it.

I painted it with the primer because I wanted to cover the black as well as I didn't want a gloss to it that the other white in my house would have. After that was all dry I painted the pink over top and along the edges, I wasn't at all particular how the pink went on because I wanted that type of shabby look.

Afterwards I found some of my favorite fabric and cut three strips of it put a safety pin through one side and just braided it. I looked around for my stapler (cause I have the worlds best) and couldn't find it... (thanks babe) so I just super glued the ribbon to the back where the old ribbon was.

I really like how this turned out... I saw a few other signs there... who knows maybe I will get some more!

Happy Tuesday!!!
