oh boy!

I'm going to start on my first little boy outfit! I'm so excited mostly because this fabric I got is so stinkin' cute! I really love it. Find it here.

movie camera bookend

I'm still looking for the right paint color/fabric/wallpaper to spruce up my bookcase, but in the meantime I did find this 1950's movie camera and I thought it would be a perfect bookend (its really heavy). I wish I could actually use it, but looking at it makes me happy too.

Have a fun weekend!

party planning

Even though my little miss isn't turning 1 for three more months I've been thinking a lot about what kind of party to throw for her. Different themes have been going through my mind from princess to tea party to carnival and everything in between. But after seeing these images from Flora & Henri the themes have been set aside for a good old fashioned classic balloons, confetti, pom-poms, and streamers birthday party.

But I still have time to be swayed... Do you have any fun ideas?

getting closer

I've been asked when I am going to open my etsy shop, and I am happy to say that with the arrival of this custom ribbon I am a whole lot closer! They said I wouldn't get my order for 3-4 weeks, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive my ribbon after only one week!

I am going to use it as the label on my clothes. It makes me feel so legit.

You can get your own custom ribbon at namemaker.

my happy garden

Look for Cloud9 Fabric's 100% organic cotton collection, My Happy Garden to come out soon. Doesn't it seem like your child (or you) would have wonderful dreams sleeping on these clouds?
