crafting marathon

most of you know that i'm having a baby in 9 days, right? okay, just making sure.
so i'm definitely in that last-minute-get-everything-done nesting phase.
the furniture still needs to be swapped from my 2 year old's room into the baby's room.
we still have to put together a dresser and storage cubby-thing.
i have a million and ten things that i want to hang on the walls, in both rooms
but my husband doesn't love when i hang things myself...
but he also doesn't want to do it.
[i'll probably just take the reins on this one and just do it myself]

anyway, the nursery is just being recycled since i'm having another girl.
it's the "brooke" line from pottery barn, and i still love it:
owls, birds, trees, lots of color!

i found this stamp at michael's yesterday and fell in love.
i'd been wanting to do some hoop art for her room, and thought this would be perfect.

well, i also needed to make a few things for my cousin-in-law
[you know, the magician who did my maternity photos]
she's having her third boy this summer and she's doing an owl-themed nursery also. 
so i made two sets of three hoops. a boy set for her and a girl set for me. 
i'm seriously smitten.
these photos were taken before the hoops were totally done... 
i'll be taking good photos today and adding them to the shop as a set... so then maybe i'll replace these photos with the good ones later? come back and check if you want :)



while i was on a roll, and while the dining room was already a disaster, i figured i'd finish up this wreath for reese's door as well. the only thing missing is a little chalkboard where that coral yarn is.
i'll write her name, or maybe "hello sunshine" on it, haven't decided. 

this is the bedding she has [photo is annoyingly small]
just so you have a better idea of the color scheme:
from bed bath & beyond
next monday, i'm hoping to have full photos of one of the girls' rooms completely finished
[and maybe the other room the next week?]
so check back for that. i'm pretty excited about how they're going to turn out
although everything is always so much more awesome in my head.
same with you?

oh, and i'm offering 25% off in the shop until i close up shop this friday 
[you know, cause i'm having a baby?] use code BABY25

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
