the craft room is overflowing with creativity.
i need to get back to it.
bye.
Category Archives: home decoratingmy eyes are always drawn to red.      i changed a tiny bit in the entryway.
you probably can't even notice.
and that floor…i don't like….especially when i see it in a big photo…yuck.
i wish it were wood or covered in a rug.
i made curtains at my girls weekend when i made the matching lampshades.
 i cut them and sewed them there.
came home to hang them….they were WAY short!
i even said quite few times how they looked wrong but just kept sewing.
so….a half a yard of red velvet later….problem solved.
the entry way feels like a room now.
and my sister gave me the little bird hooks for my birthday.
yes…that was 5 months ago.
but i finally hung it up.
i love it lorel!
   red makes me happy.
oh yeah….keepin' it real…one more time.
 here is what it looks like when the kids are home.
Thanks for keeping it real Meg! Love love love what you did. So pretty!! I was very delighted upon going through your article that ponders me with bucket of productive and essential information. And I just admire your creatively personal touch for your home designs. Wow! Oustanding job. It looks like a happy home. Came over from Kimba’s – I LOVE your mudroom!!! How great is that? (and how jealous am I? a lot) Red is one of my most favorite colors – it just makes me happy. Great job on those curtains too – so cute! I’m a first time visitor, and love your blog. I am a major fan of everything red, and post about red all the time. You did a fabulous job on your room, thanks for sharing the “real” photo! Funny how crazy things get when the kids get home… Hee Hee Looks like my messy mudroom in the keeping it real phase@! Hi Meg! I love your mudroom. The red looks fantastic. Thanks for keeping it real! Looooooove it all! I love the last picture, which brings your awesome entryway to life. The red looks awesome, great work on the entryway, you’ve definitely got style. Each and every time I come back here, I say stupid things like you made my day – but keepin it real, this time, your bit o red made my february. I love red too. Just the littlest burst of it tucked in somewhere makes me feel happy. =) Oh YAY for “new red thing”. Love them all! It turned out beautifully (of course) but I’m loving that final shot. Makes me feel at home… I love the red too…. that is how my house looks every day! Your entry is so crisp and bright and WOW it’s lived in, too! Thank you for the organizing inspiration, but mostly for sharing that last photo! Have a nice night! 55 comments? Holy Moses. I am way behind here… I guess we are all loving the red. I am only recently learning to truly appreciate red, now that my Shabby Chic phase is finally fading into oblivion. Oh, I’m love little bits of black, too. Is that a little cubby-hole curtain I spy? Makes me wonder what’s behind it! Beautiful entry way for a beautiful home. My mom loves red too- she tends to buy a lot of red. I love your birds and your entryway. (And the keeping it real photo! It is nice to know that we are not the only messy ones around.) Ohhh I would be so happy walking into that entryway every day. 🙂 It’s beautiful and happy! you made me snort my soda with that last photo! Looks just like my entryway at 3:32. (minus all the cute details) Red is my favorite! oh yeah……I love red too!! Like you, it just make me happy. And can I ask you something…..how do you get your pictures so big on your blog?? how much do i love you keepin it real?? what i wouldn’t do for an entry way with cubbies! Love red! And love those curtains!! Beautiful mudroom! I love your mud room!!!! Where did you find your fabric?It is gorgeous,also love your door. Red is my favorite color – I’m thinking about painting our kitchen island red. Still trying to talk my husband into it! Red IS a very beautiful color! Me, myself and I are having a pinkish-period right now. I love pink, and turqouise! Oh and where did you get those red buckets? I think I have a weakness for buckets. And I think I’m too weird. Ooh–I love red, too. If I were you neighbor, I’d want to come and steal all that stuff–even your purse–except I’d leave all the contents. I’m not THAT psycho. Your house is so cool. My back entry opens right into the kitchen. Really. If you’re not careful or blind and don’t walk straight in you’d run into the table and sometimes my kids come rushing in so fast they slam the door into the oven door handle and stuff I have perched on top of the oven come crashing down. Maybe we should have moved to Kansas to get more house for out $$$. Or maybe I’ll win the HGTV house. big fat YEAH RIGHT. Can you please tell us where you got the red boots? I really want them…you know how I like red and white polka dots :o) Oh I am crazy for red too, I want your wellies- dang cute, and i am so glad to know that my kids are not the only ones who come home and dump their stuff! hee hee so thanks for keeping it real. red is one of those colors that just pops. Thanks for a glimpse into your reality! I feel better now! But I LOVE the red as well!!! And the curtains look lovely! love the red, it’s gorgeous. and I love that you “keep it real” because I only have two kids and my house is a mess like that a lot!! my eyes are drawn to your house. Can we move in? ooooooooo….eye candy! i LOVE red too! it just makes me happy! =) love your entry, too. that fabric is fabulous. What is it about RED??? I LOVE it too because…it reminds me of birthday party balloons, Christmas, happy flowers, etc. It’s just a happy color, it can’t help itself. : ) Love your curtains…especially with the red velvet on the bottom. Kind of a happy accident! OH man do I love red too!!! You would LOVE my new stove that we are putting in our new house…it’s old, from England, old….and it is all garnet red and I think I’m naming her Ruby 🙂 I mean, seriously, do people really name their stoves?? I do. I really must have that fabric for something!!!! And oh yea…I love it when you keep it real 🙂 You make me smile so much! Love it all! I want a red laudnry/mud room. I saw a red and black one years ago and fell in love! Love it all! I want my new laundry/mud room to be red! I saw a red and black one years ago and fell in love. You make me laugh (thank you!) I love the red and beauty in your entry way – and even more I love your keeping it real pictures. Thanks for helping us to know we aren’t alone. 🙂 I just found your blog this week and I am loving it! I have 4 kids so I love the keeping it real — instead of all those “fake” blogs who make their lives look perfect. Your red curtains are so gorgeous and I think they are better with the velvet! Hi, I just found your blog – I love, love, love the pictures of your house. I’ve been wanting to get something from Tanya Whelan’s new line (I thought I recognized the red fabric as being from “Darla” – if not, it sure looks like it!). The curtains are wonderful. I just got a new red accent for my kitchen – red is really growing on me – http://www.flickr.com/photos/29635318@N07/3251338104/ FOR THE LOVE OF RED… i just love it! Love, love, LOVE your entry way! I fantasize about turning the laundry room into a kid-friendly entry with a bench and hooks . . . your “keeping real” photo reminds me that likely it’ll still be a bit of a disaster:) Hilarious! It’s so comforting to know that with your five kids and a dog, your house does get messy like the rest of us – phew *wipes forehead* I thought you were superwoman for a moment there. I still have my suspicions. I actually think you were meant to make the drapes to short. The red velvet makes them so interesting. I would totally by these in a store. Red is my favorite color and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your curtains – the Red velvet just made the curtains PERFECT! See… you were supposed to mess up that way and make them too short so you could add the “real” finishing touches! Great job! :o) And I LOVE the fact that you “kept it real” as always – that’s what my foyer looks like always too between the kids and the dog! LOL Thanks again for sharing! Hugs, Trac~ :o) You know it’s “wear red” day for women’s heart issue awareness?? How appropriate! I so LOOOOVE the color red! Your house is awesome. I like the keeping real picture too!! I loooove red too! I’m finding that is the one color in every room of our home. Thanks for sharing! You are definitely an inspiration to me. I especially love the curtains and what was a problem with them being too short became even more beautiful with velvet! Oh my gosh…. love it all! I have been addicted to red lately. And not the earthtone red… the bright-make-me-smile-‘cuz-it-pops red! Too fun! I love the perfection and I love the keeping it real.. that is life…. try for perfection but live in pic # 2 most of the time.. wow your curtains are fab! thanks for the real life shot. I feel better now! You’ll love brown eyed fox’s blog today then!!! Anyhoo – I have a fabulous blue handbag that is lined with a lovely red….love love love it!!! I love your blog and I appreciate your “keeping it real photos” so much! It’s incredible important to be inspired by the small things in everyday. When you show us your mess after we’ve been looking at the rest of your fantastic photos, we can take that inspiration and leave the behind the all the pressure to live a “Martha Stewart Lifestyle”. Thanks. I found my way to your blog by way of the Sticklers blog. I LOVE the fabric you used for the curtains…just what I have been looking for for my kitchen. Could you tell me what the name of the fabric is??? Thanks so much for sharing a picture of your life. And today is National Wear Red Day for woman’s heart disease awareness. How fitting! I love all the little touches of red and the bird hooks, anything with birds really. I laughed when I saw the brown suede boats, because my daughter has the same pair and they are laying on the floor in my mudroom as I type. Glad you kept it real! love, love red!! my favorite color!! i even had two red cars…unfortunately, the first one was totaled by a man running a red light, the other we had to let go since we were growing out of room…hard to load kids in carseats in a two seater… The curtains are gorgeous and I love the keeping it real photos. love the red!!! so cheerful. cute curtains, i so wish i could sew!! that’s what my front porch looks like all the time, shoes and bags everywhere!!! This gives meaning to “a mother’s work is never done”…love the pics…especially the “real” one! Thanks so much for posting the “keeping it real” pictures. I LOVE blogland for all of the incredible inspiration it can provide, but it can also suck me into this distorted world where I start to think that messes don’t happen in other people’s houses and if I just worked a little harder my house would look like a page in a magazine all the time. I appreciate that you can blend insipration with reality. It’s more than inspiring, it’s downright encouraging! I LOVE that red purse!!!! And lovin’ the keeping it real photo . . nice to know I’m not alone 🙂 Okay Loving your entryway!! 🙂 Love the red and white so much and thank you for making me feel so normal. Our entry way is sadly enough our laundry room (old farm house) and when my kids get home from school or rooms look exactly alike!!! Sigh…. Thanks for a bit of normal. 🙂 I love the red too…Love the curtains and I noticed them in the first photo in the cubbything. I think you can fix that floor up…..Your Meg….aka Miss Crafty…I am sure you can go into Mary Poppins craft room and craft it up with something. me, too. i threw what has become our definition of a party lat night and got out all my red stuff. it was fun. and the curtains? nice work. and i like the velvet. it anchors the fabric since you have the darker blind at the top. my opinion. and i think it looks fab. if we lived in the same area, i’d give you my jute rug with the red trim that i have no use for 🙂 LOL I adore the keepin’ it real pictures. Awesome. The red is so fresh. that last pic still has me laughing. soooo true! very valentinesyish! do you get tired of hearing how inspiring you are? i sat up and read some of your old blogs for hours last night! wierdo alert! kidding. really, you should have your own magazine. i love the lamb or donkey or whatever he was & the look on his face! i would never thought to put that into words, bravo! keep it coming!
this is art therapy.
i had planned on cleaning but suddenly painting this bathroom (after a year….click)
was THE thing i had to do.
right that minute!
it was absolutely therapeutic.
  this is talby's dinosaur bus…i love it so much.
looks like fisher price little people.
annie drew the emily cat yesterday while i was painting.
and i think sean made the tiger scratching the tree.
lauren's OLIVIA is just perfect.
she drew that free hand…amazing.
 while i painted i thought about all my friends who are hurting…
and i prayed for them.
it felt good to use my hands while i did it.
then today…some more therapy of a different kind.
cleaning, coffee and cupcakes.
i cleaned that bathroom….and it just felt good.
not good to start but so good to finish and have it sparkle and smell fresh?
maybe i am crazy?
coffee with a friend.
that's always good therapy.
and then i made cupcakes.
not to eat them….just to enjoy decorating them.
  i really didn't eat them.
and happy mail.
that's a kind of therapy too right?
all this has come this week.
 the toddler bed i won from the i have no idea what to do
with this right now.
so it sits.
and this package of goodies
from princess lazertron.
just to be nice.
i really love it all.
 a blog reader/friend melanie sent me her hot cocoa machine!
(the same one i said i was wanting.)
she said she hardly ever used it
and thought my kids would like it.
how cool is she?
thanks melanie…it rocks.
   ANDi ordered fabric from jcaroline creative.
i found her through
today's creative blog.
(or TCB as i call it)
she had heather bailey
fabric for $6 a yard!
it is just
BEAUTIFUL.
i want to wrap up
and roll around in it.
or make a cape for my self…as Super Mama?
Queen of the Laundry?
The Caped Dishwasher?
i could wear knee high pink go-go boots too.
yes…i like that image.
HA.
*************thank you for praying for all my friends.**********************
Ok, I didn’t read through these comments. But I hope someone awarded you the “coolest mom ever” award for that bathroom! You are so inspiring!!!! let’s get things first, erika sent me here, and I knew to listen to that smart cookie – Awesome bathroom. I love the Oliva Drawing Lauren did. Very talented. it’s like you just reached inside me and touched the part of my soul that needed to meet another unique creative and lover of color. life has been too, too…uniform lately. so it’s fun to see your blog. I was having one of “those” days when I came to your blog this morning. Your bathroom and your colors a few posts ago really cheered me up. For that Olivia picture alone, I am soooo adding you to my feeds! can you come play in my bathroom also? You must be such a relaxed mother to let your kids draw all over the walls. Love it! I love the polka dot curtains too. They are perfect! What kind of paint do you use? i think that is about the coolest kids’ bathroom i have ever seen. so ‘real’. I have been following and praying for The Macs due to you putting them on your blog. Thank you!! I can barely read or look at the pictures…it literally just rips your heart out and I find myself bawling at the computer. Then I have parents show up to pick their kids up (I have a sm. daycare) and I have to explain why I am bawling. Soooo, I just check the headline to get a brief update and PRAY!!! Sometimes God does not answer our way but I am believing and trusting that the Mac’s will have many more yrs with this piece of heaven!! Again…Thank you for sharing!!!!! loving your blog as always, and found ric-rac site via you! Funny how the blogging universe works…. Your creativity has inspired me. This is my second comment for you today… i hope you can stop by to see my “valen-tinys”. What a great idea to do to the bathroom walls…I love it…so much color and creativity! I’m going to check out that fabric site 🙂 How cool is that girl (can’t remember her name…Melanie?) who sent you that hot cocoa machine! I love bloggy friends 🙂 And that wall….how awesome! Am praying for sweet baby Cora and your neighbor’s son. Happy Saturday…I’m glad painting, and baking…and coffee with a friend lifted you up! Prayer makes the world go round. Most people just don’t realize yet. That’s OK I pray for them too! Love seeing the bathroom get painted! Your kids are going to remember that room for a lifetime! You got it. Prayers. Now. this was my favorite blog post that I have seen all day. Love the colors, bathroom, fabrics and cupcakes. I awarded you a Kreativ blogger award. Come check out my post for details. http://www.mommydailyvent.blogspot.com i have been absolutely heart broken and praying all the time for that sweet little baby girl…i just am eaten up with her pain…and yet, so thankful for the parents she has and that in spite of all that they face, they are seeking god and rejoicing in everything he is providing. so thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for them. i have been absolutely heart broken and praying all the time for that sweet little baby girl…i just am eaten up with her pain…and yet, so thankful for the parents she has and that in spite of all that they face, they are seeking god and rejoicing in everything he is providing. so thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for them. The bathroom is so neat … I love that you let the kids do that. Megan, You make me smile 🙂 one big 🙂 and a few tears too! your such a wonderful girl… God bless You most definitely should make the cape. And a matching drawstring handbag. My mom would make my sister and I dresses when we were little, and use the leftover fabric to make a drawstring handbag to take to church with us. We must be coordinated! I hate when I comment..and it disappears!!! where did it go? OK..try again… Baby Cora’s cousin asked me to pray for Cora and pass the word on my own blog…then she sent me your link, claiming you her favorite blog! (I tried not to take offense!!! ha ha!!) Babar! I love it. I really think you need to use fabric and make a quilt for Waffle and set it up for him on the Toddler bed a/k/a furry child bed. Have a wonderful weekend with your family Meg. Quirky, genius bathroom painting idea. Wow. You are an awesome mother. I have been looking at your blog all day. (again) I really needed to soak in all that color. It’s been so gloomy here lately. Paint is such therapy, just seems like it give you time to reflect and think and pray! Or at least that is always what I end up doing! God Bless you! Hey Meg, could you please email me, I have a prayer blanket I made that I would like to get to Cora, can you get me an address to send it to? Thank you so much, you are a very inspiring person, thank you for encouraging me to be more. God Bless You! Amy The curious george is pretty good too. Please make a super cape, I just got done making 16 capes for birthday party. Please make a super mama cape, i would love it, since I just got done making 16 capes for a birthday party coming up. I’m feeling the same way today, have all day. I’m feeling horribly sad and thankful. Horrible because I’m so sad for several families that have sick children and thankful for the health of mine. It’s terrible as you know. I have been praying for Cora, she is one of the kids in my prayers as of late. I’m going to stop here b/c, well I am. This bathroom is amazing. Great vision! What did they draw the pics with? I LOVE all the color on your blog. Every day. It is always so cheerful, even when you are asking for prayers, which are easily and readily given, because you always ask so nicely. oh my gosh! Love this post as I always do… so colorful and happy and it is the simple things that bring so much joy. wow meg, that bathroom is fantastic. what an awesome mom you are. the kids had to love that. they did such a great job. how fun!!! the goodies from princess lasertron look fun. have a great weekend. been thinking of you lots… well, this post answered my question. i’m thoroughly impressed. love the art and it just pops now that it’s painted. well done! Any time Meg that you don’t feel like you are a good mom, you go into that bathroom and look around:) I am NOT the fun mom like you and would never let my son paint on the walls. It is so cute and Lauren did a great job on Olivia. I also love all the fabric even though I can’t sew a thing. I am glad that you like the hot chocolate machine. It made me happy to send it to you because I knew it would make you smile. (and you would use it:) lol cute and creative bathroom. When I was little my brothers and I were allowed to draw on the walls in the hallway b/c that week my parents were putting up new wallpaper (think in the 80’s)..we used sharpies,,not a good idea. it bleed through their new wallpaper!! Wow! So many cool things here. I’ve never loved a bathroom so much. You’re such a cool mom. PS – I haven’t ever heard of reading my comment before I push “Post”, so…sorry. That fabrick could make some ROCKIN aprons That is seriously one artsy brood you have! I love it! You should consider sending them out to bring home some bacon. Like a crafty Partridge Family. Or paintbrush wiedling Osmonds paint brushes. I used J Caroline Creative to order paper for wedding stuff. I was so happy with them. Yea! Ok, where to start? The bathroom is GENIUS. I absolutely LOVE it. And i agree, the Olivia is perfect, as we are all sitting here RIGHT THIS MINUTE watching the new Olivia show (because my daughter is Olivia and we have read the books for YEARS AND YEARS) and I am looking right at her, Olivia the pig, on the TV and it looks JUST LIKE the one on your wall – so GOOD GOING THERE!!! i wanted to buy this wire card holder.
i really wanted it last year.
then i saw it agin this year and wanted it even more.
but i just couldn't do it.
i love it though.
so i made my own card display.
i showed it a few posts back.
 it is nothing more than a roll of grosgrain ribbon, 6 thumbtacks. and 2 packs of mini clothes pins.
(all found at wal-mart or hobby lobby)
it is right inside our kitchen sitting area.
quite a conversation piece…everyone looking to see if they recognize anyone.
so take that pottery barn!
(please don't be mad at me PB….i will always love you…i just can't afford you…call me)
LOVE your fall porch! You did a really great job! If I ever went trick or treiatng with my kids or walked by your porch I’d ooh and aaah to my kids about how cute it was. Great job!~Robin I get MSL (I think after blueprint got cleaeclnd? or maybe it was something more recent…) and I’m always amazed at her craft ideas. I always tag them but unfortunately never seem to get around to doing any of them….Maybe in my next life?! Love it. If you wish to be the best man, you must suffer the bitterest of the bitter. Good for good is natural, good for evil is manly. Found this web-site and card display while searching for the pb curly wire card holder. Hard to justify the pb cost but for my college bound daughter I thought it would make a great gift. I am thrilled to have found this alternative! So cute!! I am running to the craft store right now to pick out ribbon and get the mini clothes pins. Thank you so much for this economical and darling alternative. Meg, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment, but I’ve read through so much of your blog today. I love it. So inspiring! Who needs a magazine when I have this? I love your style of decorating. Thank you 🙂 I love it. For another good alternative try http://www.wirehomedecor.com/wirewalldecor oops….the below comment was for the “just a couple more” post….i do love this card display idea though! I absolutely love your crafts!!! Everything you create…too cute!! Especially all the clothes…I think 2009 will be the year I finally get a sewing machine and I will teach myself to sew if it kills me! http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/ <---This site is the closest thing I could find that sells clothes as cute as you make...however it is way too pricey for kids clothes...still fun to get ideas from though! darn it, i wish i would have seen this post a few weeks ago! oh well, i am so using this idea next year. thanks for sharing! So beautiful and far better than what I tried this year, just taping them to the coat closet door. Now they are all covered in double stick tape and impossible to save the cards. I don’t know what I was thinking. Next year I’ll know better. LOVE IT – I had this scary looking snowman thing someone gave me as a wedding gift, but it only held about 10 cards. I ended up just keeping them in a dish on the coffee table. I’ll try your idea next year! PB gets me too. All of their adorable little this and thats. I’ve done this same thing over my desk to hang pictures and other happy things. I think it looks very cute. That’s a great way to display Christmas cards…who needs Pottery Barn? Love all your crafty items you shared too. I saw that and thought what a great idea you had. I will try and remember it and do a version of it here. Thanks for sharing! You always have adorable creations. It looks really great! I was privileged to be visiting in a home on Christmas Eve full of great style. They strung ribbon or twine or something from the corners of each dining room wall and the cards were hung over it right up by the ceiling. It was like lovely banners around the room. Kelly Too funny. I really liked the idea when I saw a couple of post back. Thanks for letting us know how you did it. I really love reading your blog. When I sit down and read your blog I feel as if I’m part of the family. (I know that sounds really werid). All the great pictures you share, all the great stories. I usually don’t read it for a whole week, and then sit down and read a bunch of post all at once. IT’s great. I like your idea and it I bet it’s so much easier to store than the wire thing. I’ve got to brave wal-mart for clothes pins. This would be a good idea for all the artwork my kids accumulate, though I wish I had fifty white cupboards like you do to display them. 🙂 Pottery Barn should be jealous! Yours is so cute! Next year Potterybarn will be selling rolls of grosgrain ribbon and packages of mini-clothespins for $69.00. 😉 Hi Meg! I love this card idea…just like all your ideas…they are lovely! Can you refresh my memory? Did you have a post once with little bottle caps that you made with Christmas papers inside them and glitter and embelishments? I would love to make some and I really thought it was your idea…but I can not find that post. Was it you? Take care! Shann Love it! i love me some pottery barn, but yes…they are so dang expensive! your display looks oh so nice! i may have to try that with some daily snap shots! I think that’s the whole purpose of a PB catalog…to steal ideas…..and to look at Target for the cheaper version. Love yours. I didn’t even hang mine this year. So sad. Next year though. that is so cute. much cuter than the pottery barn one. you are so creative. Meg- love when that happens! good on..and now, i will steal it for next year! thanks! I have the PB one and it sits under a bed in the guest room…lol! It’s a pain in the butt to hang because it scratches my newly painted walls (it moves when you change pics and cards), so I hung it on back of a door and it scratched that too:( The cards look great in your display. If you have your heart on that Pottery Barn card holder, just wait until February. Last year I got it for 7.99 even after it left the site and then returned at a low price. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE yours, but I must admit that I got that curly wire photo holder from Pottery Barn on clearance last year. Even though I LOVE my PB one, I’m reconsidering now that I’ve seen yours. you are so crafty and creative! i love your personal taste and style and always enjoy coming by your blog to see your pictures and what kind of fun stuff you are up to. Meg, love it Love it! I noticed it on the other post too, thanks for posting the ingredients! I want to copy for next year. 🙂 |

I must tell you that a friend and I both read your blog. At first we referred to you as “Meg that whatever lady” and now we are on a first name basis – I just sent a text to my friend and it read “There are a bunch of people selling stuff on etsy and Meg is making some items to sell as well”. Laughing, because we have never met but are on a first name basis when refering to you!
Lori - Wow! Can’t wait to see what you make. I think I’d buy just about anything you made. I was looking through the pictures of your house yesterday (love it!) and wondered where you get all your bamboo blinds on the windows? Are they custom, or off the shelf? I was out of town when you posted asking for questions about you or I would have asked then.
Allikayes Mama - Sorry about the double comment!

Love your blog!
CherryTreeLane - Good for you. That is what I should be doing….Instead I am going to sit on my toosh and watch a movie in the rain….
Gini - When I was scrolling through the pictures, I saw the second one and my first thought was – OMGOSH, that shopping cart is full of fabric to buy??? Then I realized it must be just a wire basket. You always make me feel like being crafty. I just need to add a couple 2, 3 hours to my day!
Beth - Oh my, all those delightful prints and patterns just make me want to dive in and be crafty too! My creativity is in high gear…I must make time!
Gwyn - I wish I could get my hand on that fabric and ribbon!!!!
