It makes me so happy to have grand kids and being a part of their lives.  In the past I haven’t had a fun place for them to play, so I got busy and did something about it.  I turned one of my basement bedrooms into this:

Pottery Barn Inspired Monogrammed Headboard

Happy Monday!

We were fortunate enough last week to guest post for Craft Baby!

If you didn’t get to see it here it is!

I have 3 girls and with those 3 girls come lots and lots of ideas on how to decorate their room and the most important part to me is the bed;              it’s the focal point of the room!  I saw this cute headboard from one day on Pinterest and I thought I had to do it!

My twins had their birthday celebration at school the other day and they needed to bring a treat to share with the class.

Well somewhere I heard that teachers hate it when you bring in cupcakes, because they cause such a huge mess. Well, just in case that was true I came up with a treat that was so yummy and so easy to make!

Stars and Stripes Pant

It has been a wonderful, hectic, crazy week for me. I gave birth to our little man over the weekend and he is the most beautiful baby, but he is not ready to come home right away so with all that and my healing and hormones going whack, I am posting a project I did a year ago. (You guys will give me a break right!?)

 I really liked how easy it was to put together and I know I am the kind of gal that looks for projects that turn out cute but take the least amount of effort and time. So here it is… my stars and striped pants.

So I have been wanting some ruffle pants for my girls,

I mean they are so stinkin cute, but I was not about to pay $60.00 for an outfit!
I thought maybe I could do it myself.
Now I am NOT a sewer, I can do a hem and sew in a straight line and all, but that is it.
Growing up my sisters and I all got a sewing machine’s when we turned 14 (I think)
So I have had this machine for a while and I am so grateful to have it. Thanks mom!
This is what I came up with.
