He's 2!

Happy Birthday to our sweet, but ornery Weston! 

No, that isn't chocolate. ;)

New Chalkboard Art

Had some fun doodling the other day:

Started with this one and then added some other spizzazz.

In The Neighborhood

Our neighbor has two trees that are beeeeautiful right now! Love how spring is popping out all over.

Gettin' Our Craft On

Tricia has been over here this week and we've been having all sorts of fun! One thing we've been doing is making some sewing projects that has caught our attention on Pinterest. 

The tutorial for Arilynn's dress can be found here.

Linking up to Finished Object Friday.

Built-In Cabinet Redo

My goal this year was to try and blog once a week. As you can see, I can mark that one off as failed. :) Moving on...

One of my favorite details about this house was the built in cabinet. Beadboard as the backing, super cool hardware, a place to showcase a lot of junk, what's not to love? I know that what I did to it would make some people cringe, but, yup, I painted it! I have a thing for bright and white-it makes the room seem bigger.

This is when we first moved in (obviously):

Then again after we painted the walls:

And, after:

 

Wesley somehow talked me into displaying some of his oil cans (that are crooked):

We kept the original hardware. Didn't even have to spray paint it. ;)

 

Lots of Spoilin'

We enjoyed having our parents come this weekend! We kept them busy showing them a few sights of WV. It was pretty funny hearing all their exclamations of the hills and hollers. :) Here's hoping the kids aren't too rotten after all the spoilin' they received the past few days. Even great grandparents, great aunts, and aunts sent gifts.

Cuteness Alert

Hey, Everyone! I wanted to give a shout-out to my friend's etsy store. I have never "officially" met Brittany, but we have become internet pals through mutual friends. I'm pretty sure if we lived close together, we could become quite the dangerous pair. We seem to love all the same things. She, however, is way more craftier and talented than me...especially when it comes to sewing. I pretty much bombed that quality, much to my mother's dismay. (She can sew anything). 

You have got to check out her adorable totes. Ruffles, flowers, cute material...how can you go wrong? 

 

Mother's Day idea??

 She even adds pockets to the insides:

Would make a great tote for library books or scrapbook supplies! Work? Lots of ideas!!

Head on over and tell her Jenny sent ya!!
