Luke, I am your father...

Jack's Darth Vadar cake I made. The party is tomorrow and I'll have more pictures to post afterwards.

Nora's Pink Party

Nora wanted a "pink, fancy party" for her birthday this year so I, like a crazy lady, obliged. I figure she's already seven and probably won't let me do this kind of stuff for long. I check out this blog by Amy Atlas often and let it inspire me. I used lots of crepe paper streamers and tissue paper flowers to decorate. The look on Nora's face when she saw it made it worth it! We had to decorate the game room too... And the food had to follow the theme as well...

Even down the the pink punch and the fancy glasses. It was funny watching the girls show each other how their mom holds a wine glass!

Pen and Ink

This is a pen and ink drawing that I did inspired by this post I saw on Design Sponge. I would have bought a print but there were limited ones left so I made my own...

Party Ideas

I made this little fabric clutch that I found at this website today. I'm trying out some ideas for party favors for Nora's b-day party. I like to give something useful or meaningful as a party favor instead of candy or junk. This actually went together pretty quick and I was able to use fabric scraps that I already have lying around. The only thing that I would have to purchase would be the zippers. This is definitely a contender.

Finally Up

I finally got around to hanging up some watercolors that I did for Benny's room a long time ago. I got the plain white frames from walmart with the mats for $13 each. Not bad...

Farmer's Porch

Jim and I got started on the farmer's porch this past weekend. We figure since the weather has been beautiful we should start on the outside stuff. I can't wait for this to be finished. I've always wanted a farmer's porch with some comfortable chairs and some planters with annuals spilling down the front.

Cinch Sack

I made this little cinch sack for a little friend's birthday. I modeled it after the ones that my kids got from their soccer team for their soccer balls. Now that the house stuff has slowed down I actually have some time to do some fun stuff!
