First off some art work for the baby's nursery. I'm going to hang them over the crib.
Next my friend Tara showed me how to make simple little girl dresses. Grace was a knock out in this with a black turtle neck and tights.
I have been experimenting with making flowers so I threw this little number together for my baby shower. I felt like I needed some flash. I just extended a pearl necklace I already had with some ribbon and attached the flower. And yes that is an old earring in the center :) It made my day when I wore it to my doctor's appointment and my doctor asked if it was from JCrew.
Then today I recovered a pillow for the TV room couch, inspired by the pottery barn pillows. For some reason the couch and pillow clash in this pic but they look fine in real life.
And finally I jumped on the band wagon and made some silhouettes of our family for the bend in the stairs. The most challenging part of the project was finding inexpensive oval frames. Originally $40 Michael's had them on sale for 50% off and then I found a coupon to take another 25% off the sale price. The planets aligned so I could finish my project.
Here is a straight on shot.
