Boo!

Rainy Days

I'm loving the rainy weather right now!  It's such a relief from the scorching hot days we had here in SJ just about a month ago.

The rain is bringing new freshness to everything.  It's time for lazy mornings in slippers and pjs, curled up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate (no coffee for me right now).

The shift in weather has really given me a new burst of creativity, and while I can't wait to showcase what I'm working on, I have to have some patience.  So in the meantime, here is an image board that fits my cozy, crafting mood right now.

My DIY Baby Shower Favors - Take 1

So I had a mental block for a loooong time over what favors to give at our upcoming baby shower. I even went shopping a couple weeks ago to get inspired and came back empty handed! But today, I gave it a second shot, and came up with an idea that I like.

I wanted to incorporate the mini wooden shoes (Rogér, my husband, is Dutch)that we didn't end up using at our wedding. I bought some "baby" ribbon, as well as some blue and some green ribbon at Michael's. I also bought a Sharpie Paint Pen (it's a pen with oil based paint!!)

Here's the results:

I'm thinking of adding a magnet to each shoe so guests can put them on their fridge.  Any opinions or suggestions??

On My "Workbench"

Our kitchen cabinets just came in! So exciting, except that they are "Assembly Required", sooOo, they're sitting in boxes piled up in our living room.  Hence, my latest flower head wreaths are resting upon the mountains of cabinets.  I'll be adding these to my Etsy store soon!

For my wedding, I made flower headpieces for the four flower girls.
