365: Week 34

Save room for the banner

Milo was one the first recipients of a name banner for his room but now that he is going to be a big brother in a few weeks, he has a new room with new decor. Here at Sew Snappy Productions we are all about themes and coordination so a new banner was in order! Mama Kristin has outdone herself again with a her decorating skills and designed a fabulous city themed room for Big Brother Milo.

Milo's 1st name banner for his jungle themed nursery

Stay tuned for the new baby's banner in a few weeks....

My sister-in-law-law, Amy Suarez is expecting her 1st baby and it's a girl.

Harper Suarez will be making her debut in November!

There is one "must-have" when it comes to new babies in my life - a custom name banner for the nursery made by yours truly. So, you are probably thinking, was that a typo - "sister-in-law-in-law?" Nope. Amy is the sister-in-law of my sister-in-law Dina - Amy married one of Dina's brothers, Tony. Amy and I have become great friends over the years and we came up with that title for each other after Bob & Dina's wedding.

Amy told me she was doing pale pink & green with a few bird accents.

Here is what I came up with...

New Dress a Day Inspired

Last year I came across an awesome blog, New Dress A Day, and I was completely inspired by the author's creativity. I have revamped some pieces in my closet and made some treasures myself. Here is my favorite attempt....

Simple dress from Daisy Fuentes for Kohl's that I got on crazy clearance last Fall. The built in "belt" was supposed to tie in the back but it looked ridiculous that way. I cut the front of the "belt" off, leaving just the ties. I planned to tie them in the front for a more flattering look.

Ann Taylor Loft necklace from last Fall. Very trendy style last year with the fabric necklace that ties around your neck. Not so trendy anymore but I loved the design.

Snip, Snip...Glue, Glue...Voila - New Dress!

Mosaic Madness

A trip to Bottle & Bottega to make Mosaic Frame on a Tuesday night...

What could be better than...

3 Bottles of BYOB Wine...

Arts & Crafts...

...and Good Friends

I see you

My dear friend Nicole gave me this little plaque a few months ago and sits on my desk at work. I look at it everyday but some days I actually see it and realize how true it is.
