DIY painted pillow!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!
Before I share my craft for the day (sorry for the wrinkly pillow photo)…I want to give you a pregnancy update. I’m 2 days away from my due date (eeeek), currently 1 cm dilated and experiencing some back pain (eeek again). These are all great signs that labour is near but to tell you the truth she is way too comfortable in there! I think she is...

My Sewing Room
Welcome to my favourite place…my sewing room!
Jason helped me rearrange things in this room last month to make it more functional and I’m so so happy with it! We put in some more shelving at the back and moved the large working table to the middle of the room. Now that the working table is in the middle I can work on both sides and have lots of room to cut fabric and spread out...

Scalloped Door
I’ve been a little crazy lately and constantly fixing, rearranging and painting everything around my house! Nesting mode has been in full effect for the last 4 months…seriously.
I recently just painted my closet doors white and I felt like they were a little boring so I decided to paint a little scalloped detail on the top of it!
I cut out a template to trace the design on the...

Any guesses for when she might arrive?? My...

A little glimpse into the baby room!
Here’s a little peek into Penny’s baby room! I’m basically all done I just need a side lamp and side table!
I’m really loving black and white these days so when I start any room I always paint everything white and then I build off that! I wanted to go for a light and fresh look and since we know it’s a girl I added pops of peach and pink to the room to make it...

DIY party napkins!
So I was breezing through pinterest to get some new party ideas for a friends birthday and I saw the cutest napkins that had EAT stencilled on the bottom and I wanted to recreate them! But instead used black ink and stamps to put EAT at the bottom and I think they turned out really well!!
There is something so beautiful about just having a nice simple place setting….and a little bitty...

I thought I would share some pregnancy outfits I’ve been rocking lately :) This post is for all the first time mommies!!!

Nesting- Organizing your spices
I never believed women when they said they were nesting during their pregnancy. I thought they just went a little crazy from the hormones…but now that I’m pregnant..I totally believe them and I’ve taken nesting to a whole new level!
I’ve reorganized and de-cluttlered almost every room in my house so far. I can’t believe how much junk I hold on to! I might regret...

Plaid for the baby bump :)
I think I’m fully obsessed with plaid…I probably own around 15 plaid shirts and wear them all the time! They look even better over a baby bump too!
