Desk project

Yay, I just finished my desk project and sooo LOVE how it turned out!!! :) I bought it for $25.00 a few months ago and with green paint and glaze I got the antique look I wanted. I am using this desk to sew on it and to organize all my sewing/craft stuff. Sooo excited! :) Check out the before and after pictures:



Countdown project

Bella and Jack have been asking how many days till Christams for a bit now. A few weeks ago while at double coupon saturday at Roberts I saw this project and had to get it. It turned out so cute and I can not wait to see the kid's faces everyday when they wake up and run to see what's inside! :)

Pajama pants

The project at my sewing class last night was pajama pants but with not enough yards I actually got a "capri" pajama pants done for me. :) We worked out of a pattern that to be honest was kind of annoying so this morning I worked in getting pajama pants for Bella and Jack off a blog and it was soooo much easier and fast. Love it! Here are pictures of the kids cute robot and owl pajama pants and my capri pajama pants that I sleep on it last night and love it! :)

Thankful Tree


Halloween decoration is back to storage! :( We had a fun october! :) Last year we did an activity where the kids wrote or made drawings of what the were thankful for and put it up on the fridge. This year we did a thankful tree. We grabed some branches from our yard, cut up pieces of paper and ribbon and with what the kids are thankful for we have our thankful tree. I loved listening to Bella and Jack express what they are thankful for while doing the activity. I love how our thankful tree turned out and I am sooo thankful for my beatiful family! :) I wish us all a Happy Thanksgiving season and that we can all see how blessed we all are!!!

Antique & glazing class


A few months ago while redecorating Bellas's room I bought an ugly chair from a thrift store and with new paint and cute fabric I ended up with a super cute chair for her room. Since that project I've been looking for old furniture on ksl or even thinking about what I can restyle from what I already got in our own home. I bought a vintage looking desk a couple months ago for my sewing machine with the idea of restyling it with an antique look. It's been sitting in our garage for a while now but I finally took a antique and glazing class today and I'm totally working on the desk this weekend! :) In today's class we worked on restyling picture frames. After sanding an ugly one I painted green, glazed it with brown and I love how it turned out! Can't wait to see how my desk is going to look like! :)
