Jocelyn...

First, how cute is Jocelyn?!?  Such a happy little girl! 

I painted Jocelyn's letters to match her classic/modern nursery.  Her mom wanted something simple that could make the transition from baby to toddler.  Jocelyn's dad was concerned about anything hanging on the wall behind the crib- so we went with light weight canvas letters.

Newly Established...

I rarely have time to paint things for my own family and friends, which is a good problem if you think about it.  It's my goal to get a few things painted for my family during the month of October- we'll see how that goes.

(Me, Jessica, and Katie)

My best friend from high school is engaged and is getting married in Mexico next month.  Many of their friends and family aren't able to go to the wedding (including us), so they had a pre-wedding "Party with Katie and Marty" party(---got that?).  We had a great time, and it was good to catch up with some old girlfriends.  I painted Katie and Marty an "established" sign as a little wedding gift.  She loved it!

Organizing the little things...

I've made a ton of hair bow holders lately.  They make a nice personalized, useful gift.  Perfect for moms to keep all their little girl's bows organized and in one place.  I've personalized them many different ways from using monograms, to names, and just the first initial.  They make a great gift for birthdays, Christmas, and new big sister present!

Bell said, Bell uhhh said....

So I don't know what is the funniest/lamest part of this post. The fact that (A) Zack and I saved this on our DVR for months, (B) that I recorded the TV when we switched from Dish to TWC so we wouldn't lose this precious footage, or (C) that we continue to laugh every time we watch it. The clip is from Julia Lewis on WRAL. She clearly has a difficult time getting through the broadcast, but something about her face and the lack of words coming from her mouth as she fumbles, sends me giggling like a 6 year old. Come on, I know you're laughing too.

Zoo Baby

I painted this growth chart to match a pattern called Zoo Baby. (pattern in middle picture) I love the different shades of blues and whites this bedding has. It is a modern design but classic feeling at the same time.

Butterflies and Bows

What better way to organize all the tons of clips and bows for your little princess than with a ribbon bow holders. With little alligator clips becoming the latest trend in baby girl fashion, this makes it super easy to keep them all in clear view.

Owen Benjamin

Owen Benjamin is the baby boy to my co-worker Collins and her husband Brian. Owen was born 3 weeks before his due date- but was full term and weighed in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces. Brian loves airplanes and so it was a given what Owen's nursery would be decorated in!
