Petal Collar Shirt

Here's another great tutorial from {Welcome to the Good Life}!

Using this Jcrew shirt as inspiration, 

And this shirt from Walmart, 

And some scraps of fabric, she cut some petals out and attached them to the color of her shirt. 

So simple.  SO CUTE! 

I like it even better than the Jcrew one. 

LOVE this little rose detail.  Well done!

Nursery Shelf

I really love the way this nursery shelf is put together.  Something about the darker color on the inside of the shelves...and the elements used to fill them.

I love the pops of bright colors, and all the little animals used.  But, what I really love, is that even though this shelf is filled with baby things, it still looks sophisticated.  I still don't mind looking at it, unlike so many kids and baby shelves.  This is a constant goal of mine - to achieve an adult approved look while still using the normal toys and things that belong in kids rooms.

Candlestick Rabbits

Aren't these the cutest little Easter Bunnies you ever did see!??

They're made out of candlesticks and wood eggs.  Just add some ears and accessories and you're done!

Adorable!  Visit {Sassy Sancutary} for instructions.

Spring

Loving these springtime days.

My Twig Letters

Recently, someone contacted me on Etsy asking if I might be able to make some twig letters.

She sent me this Potterybarn image.  Apparently, PB doesn't actually sell the letters in this picture.

So, I told her I'd give it a shot. 

Here is what I came up with.

I think they turned out pretty good!  So, I decided to see if anyone else would be interested in some twig letters.  And it turns out some were.

Here is an order I recently completed. 

And another... 

And another.

What do you think? :)

Pretty fun, huh?  Check out my {Little Craft Shoppe} if you want more info.

General Conference Treat Buckets

I'm just loving this idea I saw on {Brown Paper Packages}!

She got these dollar buckets and labeled them with words often used in {General Conference} 

Then, she filled each bucket with a different kind of candy. 

Then, she lined them up on the hearth in the room where her family would be watching Conference. 

So, if the kids listened, every time they heard the word on one of the buckets, they could go get a piece of candy from that bucket. 

Great lesson on listening...very motivational I think! :) 

We used to keep a tally of different words said, just by marking them down on paper...I think this candy business would help kids pay attention longer than we used to. :)

I just love this idea!!

April Fool's Cupcakes

With April Fools a few days away, I thought I'd share some fun little ideas with you.

Love these silly cupcakes!  Spaghetti is actually just frosting put on using a really small tip.  And the meatballs are those Ferrero Rocher chocolates dipped in strawberry jam.  Cute right!? 

The mashed potatoes are just frosting spread on evenly with a well on the top.  The gravy is carmel sauce and the butter could either be a yellow starburst or a now n later.  So cute! 

The peas and carrots are my favorite!!  The peas are just green runts and the carrots are orange starbursts cut into 4ths.  Doesn't that look awesome!!?

Tricky, Tricky!!  Check out even more foolin ideas at {Our Best Bites}

Breezy Nursery

I love the breezy feel of this nursery.  The blue is gorgeous!  But, I also love the elements within the nursery as well. 

Love the tricycle! 

This wall is really cool.  Shall we take a closer look? 

They're pictures of the alphabet...kind of like flash cards, framed.  Really cute. 

Just simple, and nice, and breezy.  Via {House of Turquoise}.

Rosette Pillow

 Don't you love the way this pillow looks!??

Me too.  Can you believe it's a DIY project!!?

Rubber Ducky Party

Loving this Rubber Ducky theme!!  What a cute party!!!

I mean, how cute is that!!?

Love the centerpiece here!!!  What a cute idea!

Adorable!

Such cute, bright colors!

Even the cups are cute. :)

And of course, a drink to match the colors.

Oh I just think it's so cute!!

Such fun colors to work with. 

And I'm kinda in love with that feather boa.  :)  I just love it all!  Check out {Kara's Party Ideas} for all the details.

Family Play Room

I like rooms that can be kids rooms and adult rooms at the same time.

Like this potterybarn movie room.  So cute with the alphabet above, but the colors still keep it sophisticated and not too kiddish. 

However, a few kiddish things are nice...I mean, there ARE still kids around. :)

Love the way those legos are organized~ each color has it's own matching storage bucket!

Genius. 

A nice looking coffee table can be the perfect play table, too.  And that tent back there is so awesome!

I'm loving the wall of storage in this room.  So nice looking!  And also so practical! 

This is one of my favorites!!  Love that theater.  How cute!!  Any family would love to have something like that!! 

This is just a perfect family game area.  Love all the storage, even under the table! 

Potterybarn really has things together, don't they!?

One day, I imagine a basement or rec room looking like all these rooms put together. :)

Cottage

Isn't this the sweetest little house that you ever did see!??  I used to want a cottage home just like this when I was younger.  And it still looks pretty good.
