Master Bedroom Pillows

Due to some painting in our master bedroom, I needed to re-do our pillows. They were red, which was nice then, but not going to work now. 

I got the tutorial for this one here: http://justanotherhangup.blogspot.com/2010/04/gathering-fabric-muslin-pillow-tutorial_20.html

This one above is the same tutorial.

This one above I made up. I have since made another one I like even better. Those to come later!

This one pictured above I got here: http://jonesdesigncompany.com/flowers/gathered-flower-tutorial/

Kitchen Remodel

We recently remodeled our kitchen. The lack of counter space finally got the better of me and we moved it way up on our priority list.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The lighting was terrible the day I took this, so things have a bit of a red tint to them. 

We added a peninsula bar, tiled the backsplash, painted the cabinets, and got granite countertops! We love it!

Photo Shoot

I wanted some pics of McKenna reading books for our bookshelves (you can see in the background. I already have some of Brayden and Kaitlyn thanks to Serra, so I just needed McKenna. Here is what I got!

Toy Diaper Bag

I have been MIA because I have been tired because I am pregnant :) 

Here is a diaper bag I made for McKenna for Christmas. I used this pattern here: http://twelvecraftstillchristmas.blogspot.com/2010/09/pretend-and-play-diaper-bag-tutorial.html

If I could change something, I would have put the pocket on the flap on the main body under the flap--for practicality. But it is a cute accent there on the outside :)

Christmas PJs 2011

Here are the PJs for this year! I love the ruffles on the girls. Kaitlyn's is made from eyelet fabric (above)

McKenna's is from tulle (above)

Brayden's is normal

As is Nate's

As is mine.

Thanksgiving Decorations

I made these cute things at a craft night with On The Avenue. Love that place.  I really like these. I also made some block letters that spell Autumn--but apparently did not take a photo. 

Christmas Card 2010

This was our Christmas card last year. The photos were taken by Serra from http://www.mydeliciousambiguity.com/2010/12/free-christmas-photo-card-templates.html
