{Taggie Blanket}

October 15, 2012 By meredith 15 Comments

One of my most favorite things to sew are baby gifts.  Maybe it's because when it was my turn to have a baby shower and receive all the baby gifts my most favorite items were the ones that someone had taken the time to make for me.  To this day, those are the gifts that I love the most. I had a baby shower to attend this past weekend for a good friend expecting baby #2, and was so excited to make … [Read more...]

I knew I wanted to incorporate it into a fresh new banner for a Fall mantel I had in mind.  To make the banner you'll need...

We are currently in the process of building custom bunk beds {full project tutorial coming sometime soon--hopefully} for Jackson's "big boy" room.  {And by "we" I mean my loving and very handy hubby}. What does this have to do with a pumpkin you ask? Well... I noticed that there were a bunch of little wood scraps left over from the many cuts he's had to make.  I went out to the garage and found … [Read more...]

{ruffled burlap wreath}

September 24, 2012 By meredith 34 Comments

I've officially jumped on the burlap train for most of my fall decor this year.  I just could not resist after seeing so many wonderful projects floating around the blogosphere.  It was Sarah's Fall wreath and Allison's Fall Ruffled Burlap Berry wreath in particular that have inspired my version. Here's what I rounded up at Michael's to create my... Ruffled Burlap Wreath floral pins (the … [Read more...]
