The Double Mac

I certainly can't be caught with a plain jane kinda stroller.

So, when my new double MacLaren stroller arrived on my doorstep I just had to do something.  It was all brown for goodness sake!

Here's what I came up with:

Reversible seat covers in some of my favorite-and not super girly-Amy Butler prints!

LOVE!

And I can take them off and wash them super easy too! Bonus!

I also added a pouch thing for the back that attaches with velcro. 
For all those random things a mommy seems to get handed while out and about!

New bag for ME!

How much do I love this bag.  ummmmmm lots!

It is just gorgeous in person! And I put lots of pockets in for all those things I seem to have to carry around!

If it wouldn't have been rainy outside I should have taken this picture in sunlight!

Simple Summer Sundress!

Love Love Love this simple style!

I think Peighton will be wearing one of these most of the summer as she already LOVES it!

So cute and would be great in the fall too with long sleeves underneath!

A snow day project

It's been snowing for DAYS around here....so I decided to make a beach tote this afternoon for our upcoming trip to Mexico!

I think it'll be great for toting things around and I made it super lightweight so it won't take up much space in my suitcase....leaving plenty of room for lots of cute shoes!

And it just happens to match an adorable little messenger bag that I made last week!

A new toy!

I got the best Christmas present EVER!!!!

A new embroidery machine!  

It is utterly fabulous and the possibilites are endless!  it's hard to know where to start.

These are some practice towels I whipped up one afternoon.....LOVE that owl.  I think we'll be seeing her again sometime soon!

Make your own shiny paint!

Peighton and I had a BLAST making this paint and then of course painting with it!

It has such a different texture than "regular" paint! 

I won't tell you just how many pictures we made....

Shiny Paint

corn syrup

food coloring

Pour some corn syrup (I think I did like 3-4 tablespoons of each color) into a bowl, add a few drops of food coloring and mix!

That's it-you're ready to paint!

 

We had so much fun-I highly recommend trying this one!

thanksgiving tablecloth!

LOVE this tablecloth!

The 3 center strips are where the plates will sit, kind of like built-in placemats!

And some random lamp projects from today!

This one was just a plain white lamp shade that was SOOOO boring! 

Had some scraps of black and white toile (my favorite!) left from curtains and look what I did! 

This one I bought at Target today and it was a boring old white lampshade again!  But now it's
DISCO DOTS!!!!!!

So fun!

I think I'll add some funky beads to the bottom or something but for now, they are pretty darn cute!
