Ruffled Headband

This project has been sitting in my picture folder for ages, mainly because this is the only decent picture I could get of it.  I have a serious goofball for a child. Serious. I loved this headband and need to change up the elastic so she can wear it again!

Home Sweet Home

Nothing like being 5 months in on your husband's deployment, living in your in-laws home to feel the importance of home and family.  We are extremely grateful to be so close to extended family while the hubby is gone, but we are ready to have our little family back together again. 

I decided to put all of my reflection to use and came up with some art prints all focused on families and home.  Enjoy a preview and to order visit Sweet Daisy Designs.
 

 

 

Heat Transfer Vinyl Fun

I'm having way too much fun with heat transfer vinyl. Have you heard of it? Used it? It's so fun! I found mine at Pick Your Plum, but Silhouette carries it as well. Combined with my Cricut machine and Target... I'm unstoppable! ;)

I purchased a plain hoodie and some plain shirts, used my Cricut to cut out desired designs, ironed it on and kal-a-ma-zoo we have cute personalized shirts!

Here is Micah's new WSU hoodie, daddy is so proud!

 

And now little boy is so proud of his GREEN train shirt. This kid LOVES the color green, and the other day Hallie asked him, "Micah. When are you going to stop liking trains?" He replied, "NEHHAVERRR!" Yup pretty much I believe him 100%. This kid is passionate about all things train. Needless to say he loves it.

And this little girl loves all things princess and butterfly. It's difficult to see with the harsh sunlight, but her shirt says, "Once upon a time" and has a butterfly passing through it.

Two happy kids, once their mean mom let them go in out of the freezing cold wind! ;) Brrr! 

Valentine's Day Outift

Hi friends! It's been too long. :)

I am absolutely in {love} with this outfit! 

Complete with ruffles and polka dots galore!

Her shirt is designed using my Cricut and Heat Transfer Vinyl. (love!)

The skirt is a basic toddler skirt patterned after another skirt she owns, with just a little extra added length. I then simply added three rows of ruffles around the bottom. 

 

I'm so in love with the classic black and white look, it'll be so fun to accessorize!

Then I sent all that cuteness packing!

 

But not before a shot of her matching headband, because seriously what outfit would be complete without a matching hair accessory.  ;)

Wreath Update

If you've followed my sporadic postings over the last couple years you may have noticed a recurring trend of my family and I moving frequently.  Well that time has come again and we have moved away from our little piece of paradise outside of Yelm.  We are preparing for my husbands upcoming deployment by moving closer to family.  This move and deployment have me reflecting on life, people we have met, relationships that have developed and what home means to me.  So while this may be just another wreath, to me this was an absolutely therapeutic piece of crafting with so much meaning behind it.  I am so thankful for all of our adventures we have had and the many more adventures which are to come, the awesome people we have met on the way, the friendships we have built, and today I am really thankful for us being together as a family.  

Thanks for bearing with me through all my cheese on this post, and enjoy the wreath, which is an updated version of this wreath! :)
