Nursery Additions

The nursery for Ty and Davis has worked out fantastic so far these past four months. I am so glad Rob built the day bed with the Ana White plan. It is perfect for nursing, reading books and for sleeping.  I pretty much slept in there for the first 12 weeks, and I highly recommend the mattress that we purchased from Amazon.  Who would have thought that a mattress that arrived in a bag would actually be really comfortable?

Well I finally got around to doing something with the bottom of the bed where there was great storage.  I was able to put the rest of the books for the boys and many of their stuffed animals they have accumulated.  Wynn definitely enjoys coming in their room each night and picking out books for them from here or from the book ledges.

I just purchased these adorable prints from the Etsy store PicabooArtStudio. They came in a matter of days all the way from Hawaii. They were a great price too. You should check out her Etsy store when you have a chance. I just purchased some frames from Amazon to hang these with the Land of Nod Inspired Artwork I just shared last week.

The boys could not be left out and not receive their own piggy banks. I purchased these from Amazon and have plans on making them a little different with my Silhouette machine soon.  

I also changed up the curtains and purchased some Pottery Barn Kids black out sail cloth curtains. Who knew they would make such a huge difference. They help keep the room a lot darker in the mornings during naptime.

We are loving life even if we are sometimes sleep deprived.  Basketball season is ending this week, and Rob definitely spent last weekend walking around with a tape measure planning out his spring projects in his free time to come.

Thanks for stopping by!

Burlap Monogram

One of my favorite people in the world is my Aunt. She is so kind and always thinks of others. I thought since I would be seeing her soon that I would make something forher for spring.  I had purchased a burlap canvas a few weeks back at Michaels, and knew I would use it soon. After seeing all the beautiful Hometalk Michaels Pinterest Party projects that were shared last week I decided to get to work on my own project.

All the materials I used in this project were from Michaels. I used spray adhesive to attach the turquoise burlap that I bought in a roll for $2.99.  The burlap canvas was $8.99 on sale.  It is approximately 16 inches long.  Then I took the chalkboard tag that I bought in a set of four colors and wrote the year of their wedding anniversary on it. The tags were about $.75 each on sale in a pack of four.   I painted the wooden "M" that was around $3 in some tan paint I already had. I glued on a fabric flower from my craft collection and attached a simple jewel I bought on clearance from Michaels last year.  

Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy your week.

Silhouette Piggy Bank

Wynn and I took a plain white piggy bank that I purchased on Amazon and decorated it with some vinyl cutouts from my Silhouette Cameo.  Wynn insisted that her soon to be cousin have a piggy bank just like the one she has.

Instead of just leaving the bank looking plain I let Wynn pick out an image for it. She chose the girl silhouette and then said we needed to place an "S" for Sawyer on one of the sides.

This is such an easy item to personalize for any child. I know that Sawyer will be able to use this for a long time. 

This project was another quick one that Wynn and I did together while the boys napped. We are beginning to do a lot more projects together now that she is four. Here is a new picture of the three kiddos I thought I'd share...

We ended up celebrating Valentine's Day mostly snowed in and we even took all three kids out to an early dinner. It was the second time we have done that and we all made it out alive.
