Okay, I have been a totally summer slacker, spending my days swimming and playing!
So I thought I would do something new on the blog and tell you a little bit about a piece from my shop...
Lets start with the classic peg rack...making a come back in home decorating. Why because we all need help with organization!

First off paint it...customize it to fit your personal decor. What I love about this one is that it is currently at a natural wood state. So stain it, paint it, spray paint it... love it! You can buy spray paint or small sample size jars of home paint.

This handy dandy little rack can be put just about anywhere and here a few of my suggestions..

Closet for purses, ties, hats, scarves
Bathroom for hair and jewelry accessories
Entryway for coats, hats, keys
Craft room for ribbons and fabrics
Kitchen for coffee cups


Don't forget its adjustable so you can fit it in any size space!

Toddlers and Christmas Trees

Pin It Now! Toddlers and Christmas trees, just something about the two together that brings worry to us mom's. I hate to hear myself say NO over and over again to my son. I like to focus on what he can do by saying something like this instead "Wait, stop, lets try this" I like to save my stern NO's for when I really need them.
Yes, we have kid friendly ornaments on our tree that we let him play with during decorating. But "don't touch, just look" have become commonly used words when I see him reaching for the tree. He's starting to learn that its okay to touch the ornaments gently but not the lights and not the tree. I have a feeling one day he will turn into a pretty good "NO" negotiator like his father.

Meanwhile, my nice vintage ornaments from my great grandmother are sitting on the sideboard, in a clear glass bowl on display until little guy can be trusted. But that's okay by me, I can still enjoy their beauty without having to worry they will break.

I was planning on buying some Disney Cars ornaments, just for him because we are a big fans of MacQueen & Mater around here. I just never got around to doing it. Now the tree is here and the decorating has begun I knew I needed something for him that was just his and his to do what he wanted with. So I stitched these up in a jiffy.

My materials:

Felt

Glue

Glitter

And random product pictures. I cut these images off the huggies pullups packaging and a card board box some books came in from the dollar store.

I sewed the the images to the felt (you can use glue)

then topped off with glue & glitter

add a ribbon for hanging.

Easy, simple and clustered together they actually look quite nice on the tree.

Little hands are all over on these and that's OK that's what they were made for!
