oops!

totally forgot to mention that I hand painted the leotard and attached the tail myself on the kitty cat costume for Adri!

Costume Fun

pumpkins and costumes for your viewing enjoyment


so this weekend was tiring, but utterly worth it! I had a lot of fun  making pumpkins with the kids.. I made them out of paper grocery bags and paint.. saw this somewhere but just cant remember where, but here are the pics anyway! I added to em by painting faces on them with glo in the dark paint and lining the faces in black, they are a big hit! and they will last waaaaayyy longer than the real ones. plus the kids painting them gives them individual personality! O and totally didn't work on anything this weekend, but I promise myself I will tomorrow and will post. Gonna fab up the checker board box, yay!

finds!!!!!

ok so i took the liberty of stopping by my local thrift store... and looky! btw my local goodwill stinks! it is highpriced! BIG TIME! so I went to another little thrifty... and lookie what I found! 
this little beauty was $2! planning on using the wire as a frame to tie on.... wait and see!
 ok this ol checkers/chess box is gonna get a fab redo! inside and out

 lamp #1 is for the baby's room.. saw it and was inspired. (shes not a baby anymore. shes 2, but STILL)
 Lamp #2 well I think I want it for the living room.. now what color...??
should i leave these the pink distressed color... or go white, or 1 pink 1 green.. or BLACK?? kinda leaning on the black.. for impact as there isnt going to be much black in the room..
 not sure what to do with these.. just liked em. and they match...
 sooo painting this to go in my kitchen.. i desperately need a soap dispenser for the sink.. as of now there is an unsightly brand soap dispenser there... you know the way you get it at the supermarket.  :(
this i think i wanna either put in baby's room or on the front porch with something neat in it, any ideas?

so there it is for now... i am on the hunt for the other items on my board.. at least similar so that I can make em myself!!!! ooo see those curtains with the single damask on it? attempting to make those this weekend a la http://kfddesigns.blogspot.com/! wish me luck!

Inspire

These are all ideas for things I want to put in her room. She LOOOVEEES the pink/green combo. So what do you all think?

Evie

This is her room now... its bigger than this but the angle of the door will not let me take a better picture. like 12'x12'

FIRST EVER!

This is a new endeavor for me, this blogging thing. Let's see how it goes. I am in the process of trying to redecorate my home---- on a budget. Oh and did I mention this budget is like non-existent? No really, I got laid off and am currently at home taking care of all things that need to be taken care of. This includes all the cooking, cleaning, and everything that the kiddos need me to do. Like I am not busy enough.... I decided to take on redecorating the kids rooms. I have tons of ideas for my older daughter Eve's room, but am stuck on the little ones somewhat.. I will post all my ideas in the next few days. I will start with a picture of her current bed.. then will post the mood board I came up with for her room. WARNING! -- lots of bright pink and green. and PATTERNS GALORE! I think it's gonna look great.. and mind  you these are inspiration pieces- I may not end up with these exact items. Well here goes.. one room at a time--- kinda. Oh did I mention I have decorating ADD? May the journey begin!
