Merry Christmas Everyone!

24.12.11

This is the Christmas card that I designed and sent to family and friends… until I ran out! 🙁 Note to self: Increase the print run next year. I’m virtually sending this to you along with a huge Thank You for stopping by my blog and leaving your encouraging comments in 2011. To all my blogging friends that I’ve connected with this year, virtually and in person, you have inspired me immensely. To my “real life” friends that read my blog, your support and encouragement means so much! I look forward to another fun year ahead!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Pillow Cover Stuffed Animal

08.12.11

This pillow (and it’s mate) have been subjected to years of mistreatment by the boys. All the polyester stuffing was lumpy beyond repair. I kept them around because the boys played with them all the time. But, now that the family room has some new pillows, it was time for them to leave home.

Rather than throw them in the garbage, I thought that I would answer the pleas of a sick boy and make him a stuffed animal… out of one of the pillows! I cut the cover into body parts, sewed them together, and used the old polyester filling to stuff him. TA DA! Recycling at its best!

(Disclaimer: This picture is of the younger brother who was happy to steal away the new stuffed animal from his older brother.)

Somebody’s Watching Me

01.12.11

These faces have been staring at me in the shower for three years now. A little spooky, no?! I don’t know what’s worse, that, or the hideous tile behind those eyes! Welcome to my upstairs bathrooms. Aren’t you glad you popped over today?! Yes, anyone who’s commented about how my house must be perfect… eat your heart out on this little slice of the 70’s. I know you’re jealous.

I think these boys need to be put out to pasture. I no longer want to shower with my little friends. They’ve got to go. Time to start planning “Operation Bathroom Renovation”!

How about you? Any vintage lovelies overstaying their welcome at your house? Please tell me I’m not alone in wanting to bomb my bathrooms?

If you could use some lighting, then don’t forget to enter the $75 Arcadian Lighting Giveaway by this Friday!
