Banner #2


Didn't take long for the banner bug to bite again - and this one I can keep up all year long :) 

Of course I had to make something for my daughters room. Her current bedroom is Doc McStuffins themed and the main colors are pink, teal, lime green and a touch of purple. I didn't want to make her banner super busy and decided to stick with only the main 2 colors. I am happy with how it turned out. My daughter loves seeing her name on the wall and that's all that counts! 

As always, the fun is in the embellishing! I added rhinestones, bows, hearts and paper punched shapes. I also outlined her plain white letters with a neon pink highlighter, for an additional pop of color. I left the hanging ribbons pretty long, but may trim it down at a later time, if I don't decide to tie them into bows :) 

For the time being, the banner is hung above her "Hello Beautiful" sign, purchased at Target. Unfortunately, the poster is not available online, however, you may be able to find it in Target stores. 


Love. Peace. Happiness.

Pretty Bows!!! :)


Played around with some scrap ribbon to create some new bow designs for embellishment of cards, artwork and such. Also, with the gift giving season right around the corner, this would make a great gift topper! 

I used a hot glue gun to hold everything together quickly and made sure to burn all my ends to prevent fraying. 

After I was done, I got a little carried away with picture taking and have posted a few for you to view too :) 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

Operation: Fancify Desk



As of today, my daughter is 6 years old. I saved one of her old formula cans and have been using it to store a couple of my crafting supplies. The other day it occurred to me I should at least make it pretty as I do have to look at it everyday. Also, my crafting/work desk in in my master bedroom and I do not need any eyesores :) I painted it with white acrylic paint and lined the top and bottom with ribbon and rhinestones after a coat of glaze. I am very happy with how it turned out. 

It's all about the simple things :) 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

Crochet in COLOR






I whipped up some crochet granny squares and circles. All made with 100% cotton.

The colors are so bright and happy - I am now ready to embellish and make some more :)  

Love. Peace. Happiness.
