Floor Mat Using Michael Miller's Groovy Guitars

I found the tutorial for this awesome playmat on pinterest and made it for my diaper bag, it matches his burp cloths, binky bag, diaper holder, wipes case and nursing cover.  I love being so matchy matchy!  This mat is awesome to have something to throw down on the floor at church so that he can lay and play and I'm not getting a blanket dirty and he's not on the dirty floor.

Super Dad Father's Day


Made some fun simple things for Father's Day decor this year. 

I made a very fun banner out of felt, found the idea on this blog



 Found this great free printable online here:


And made a cute yarn wreath, with mini bunting too:


Pumpkins 5

I saw this idea last year either on pinterest or just on her blog and fell in love and then this year I saw this idea and fell even more in love!  I knew that this was a must do project for fall and can I just say I am in LOVE!  My friend Mal and I made them today and I really wish my mom could have been here too, I know she would love them.

Our bottom coat of paint was a true orange and then topped with a redder orange and I love the sanded look with the second orange showing through. We used dowel painted brown and tied with twine at the stem and embellishing them with some fake fall leaves as well as tying them all together with more twine.  The sign is hanging on a screw.  I love them so much it makes me want to decorate for fall!
