We've Been Workin' On......

We have been workin' on very important things, like teaching Cali to crawl. She has it down now:-) It is so cute. I tried to upload a short video clip......but as you see, it did not go through. So, you just get pics and have to trust me that she really is moving now. She still hasn't figured out she can go exploring. But can get around to what she wants to play with at the moment. She is growing up so quickly!!! *sigh* She is such a joy. We all just love her to pieces! She is almost always happy and smiles at everyone.



I've been workin' on other things as well. Like this nifty bow holder my friend showed me how to make. She even found the frame for me. I am very appreciative for her thoughtfulness, because this turned out soooo cute!!!

I painted the frame ivory, added the black dots and ribbon, and then we just hot glued straight lines of ribbon down the frame to hook the bows to. You can see in the above pic how we did it. You could decorate the frame however you'd like. Even do a few smaller frames and stagger them on the wall. I used a bigger frame. I have lots of bows, even more than what is pictured. Easy. Cute. Love it!

I wish I had a before picture for you.....this lovely little cabinet use to be part of the decor in Wesley's bedroom. It was dark blue and said TOYS down the front with letters from the alphabet on the sides. I have been trying to find the perfect little cabinet to fit in my half bath. The ceiling is slanted, and the space between the wall and sink really isn't very big. So, one day it hit me that I could totally paint that toy cabinet and the kids would never miss it. They never used it, except to knock over and use as a ship or something clever like that. So, I saved this poor little cabinets future by painting it and turning it into my toilet paper cabinet:-) (I modge podged the cute fabric into the squares). And Wesley didn't even really care that I took it until his dad opened his big mouth and said, "Hey, he got that for Christmas!" and of course Wesley heard him and pouted for about 2 minutes and then moved forward and hasn't missed it at all. Phew!!! Anyway, I think it turned out really cute. And now I am going to paint the slanted ceiling orange! (like burnt orange, not bright orange.) I think that will look fabulous. I am excited about it anyway.

So, now it is on to a few other projects I have started and need to finish. Like painting "the blue room", finishing up curtains, and preparing baby gifts for my sister-in-laws! Hooray!!!
