PJ Bottoms


While driving through Utah, Melissa and I found this really cute fabric. Since Melissa spends every summer weekend camping at a lake in Virginia, she thought some pjs in this material would be really cute. And I agree! So this morning I quickly made these bottoms for her. I hope they fit!




The label is the most important part :)



And the final result!!!

Cushion Creation

In my newly updated craft room, I had this shelf area that was too deep for books, but too high for sitting. So I decided to get a stool and create a sitting area anyway!



Since the dimensions aren't standard, I started with a queen size cushion, cut it in half, and it fit the space perfectly (while giving the cushion a bit more padding).







Now that the cushion is complete, I'll make a few throw pillows with matching fabric. I'm eager to post more updates as I get more work completed!

Setting up Craft Room




When I moved in, this extra bedroom had wallpaper I wasn't too keen on. I still set things up hoping it would grow on me... it hasn't. So this weekend I took to taking down the wallpaper, and painting the room "Manhattan Mist" - a name sure to inspire!


The painting is done - but I still have a few things to hang. All in all, I'm really happy with the results!
