a dreamy day & crafty things.

Today, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 – is a wonderful day. Why? you may ask… BECAUSE – I just finished one of the most difficult semesters of my college experience. (I am wondering if I would say that at the end of all of them…but anyway!) 12 credit hours knocked out. It came at a high […]

as promised…

Here are a couple of pictures of my little man wearing his tie shirt that I made for him… LOL…he is such a pudgy pie. Love love love him. Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday! I needed this rainy day. It’s so soothing. <3 jordan P.S. Stay tuned for the rest of “Our Story”!! We had […]

my creative space

The chief enemy of creativity is “good” sense. – Picasso It might be a little ridiculous and nonsensical that we live in a very small space…and yet I have a little nook carved out for creating. If I’ve learned anything through these apartment years, its to make the best of what you’ve got – and not just wait until […]

Baby Boy Tie Shirt/Onesie

Hey friends! So a few weeks ago I saw this adorable baby boy tie onesie on Pinterest and loooooved it. You can buy it here for $15.50.

Hudson’s Dresser Re-do

This is one project that I can hardly take any credit for. Between Nels and my mom, my efforts were only minimal. In fact, Nels was the one who found this dresser (someone was throwing it out – life on a seminary campus! things are always in flux), and when he brought it home to […]

Baby Button Monogram

I think the “nesting” is kicking in early this time around. My fridge has been cleaned, my closet has been reorganized…and more importantly, baby Hudson’s little wardrobe and bassinet are getting ready to welcome him home! I saw this adorable baby button monogram on craftgawker and had my heart set on making one for our little […]

$4.00 + 2.5 hours = …

 Since finishing Kaya’s first pillowcase dress, I knew that I wanted to make her another one, if not several more in different color combinations, lengths, etc. Throughout the summer I’ve been on the lookout for some inexpensive fabric and ended up spending $4.00 for all the fabric for this dress at Hobby Lobby a few […]
