LQQK WHAT I'VE FOUND ON CRAIGSLIST...

So if you know me very well, you know one of my true loves is CRAIGSLIST! I LOVE furniture! My husband I'm sure is going to have to send me to craigslist anonymous soon for therapy. Look at this awesome solid wood 6 ft custom desk I bought for $100 (a total steal!) I had intentions on putting it in the family room downstairs behind the couch for the kids to do art projects and stuff...BUT the more I thought about it the more I thought it would make a great sewing table to put both my sewing machine and embroidery machine on. Cha Ching! The best part is that the wood matches downstairs and all I need to do is change out the hardware (I can't do brass). :)

 Here is Miss Avery's new "big girl" bed. Another craigslist find. I have been searching for a bed for her for a while with certain expectations, one being that the foot board and headboard had to be the exact same because we are going to make this into a daybed for her. All of our bedrooms are extremely small (which I hate). Kevin is going to make a back for the bed and hopefully it will look

more like this....

I'm very excited now to make the transition to a big girl bed for Avery. We have plans...1. sleep in big girl bed without a fight. 2. get through Disney trip in March...3. GET RID OF THE 'FEEF' AKA PACIFIER!.
Wish me luck!
And I haven't forgot about Mr. Hudson. His room will be re-done here soon as well. Here are some ideas that I've picked up online.

 (completely forget what blog I saw this off of, but totally  cute and functional)

And the one below would definitely be different colors for Hudson, but to show that I'm going to add a sconce for him to be able to read and for a  night light. I'm very excited about these projects for functionality and storage!

I love to add different patterns and textures to a plain bow!

I had so much fun meeting new people at the vendor show, I can't wait for the next one. I'll keep everyone updated via blog and Facebook!

Yep....more bows!

I'm telling you a girl can not have enouogh bows!

But princess pants says enough on the pictures mommy!

She loves for me to make her new bows and to pick out which one she will wear, but when it comes to taking a "CUTE" picture of her...it's a no go!

I heart PENGUINS this Winter.

I've been wanting to do this to a skirt/jeans/shorts for awhile now and finally had time. I loved how it turned out!

Holidays, Ziggy (elf on the shelf), holiday crafts, and of course shopping...errr.

But I LOVE my new wreath made with yarn. Isn't it lovely?

Lots of youth activities and church functions like this live nativity they didn't think we could take seriously! Our jr. high youth group ROCKED!!! I'm so very proud of all of them!

potty trained the little princess or my I say she potty trained herself!

Visiting family like these sweet two boys Hunter and baby Colten

Maybe I will be better and make a few posts a month now. I'm still thinking of what my NY resolutions will be. Maybe I should add blogging more. hmmmmm

The cutest shirt ever!

This may be the cutest little shirt I have ever made!

Little Olivia (aka Livvy) is going to be 1 and she is having a pumpkin party! How stinkin' cute is that????

I couldn't help myself, I had to add the little patches on the elbows to break up the white!

I luv it!

And here's my little football player!

Daddy is trying to teach her to hike the ball, but all she is concerned with is looking cute for the camera! HA!

A great day for the wine trail...

This is such a great group of people that I work with.

Yes, we get a little crazy when we all get together out of work.
We can't help it, we are just that fun!

Fall, football, hoodies, and more

It's that time of year again...FALL! I do love the fall weather as long as it stays sunny and above 80! I can't help it, I love warm weather! Here are a few bows I have made recently.

Go ILLINI!

Fall colors and a shimmery leaf

Go Mizzou: burp cloth, bow, and paci keepers

Mizzou pillowcase dress and matching bow

Happy Fall y'all!

Note: I am taking a bow break for the next couple of weeks until Nov 1.
