I'M B-A-C-K WITH A SWEET SURPRISE!



I've been away far too long.  But, I think you'll forgive me when I show you why. 


ImageChef.com





I'm elated to introduce you to
my grandson.




I've only been a grandma for 3 months, but I feel like a pro already!



Atty sporting his "Newsboy" traveling cap.












The 
Nursery...

is in the finally stages of progress (YEA).  The nursery has and will continue to serve as a guest bedroom.
 I wanted to somehow combine the two schemes together without clashing.  I've got an older home with very small bedrooms. Which calls for some  creative rearranging. It's always a fine line between minimal and cluttered.
I wanted the feel of a nursery with a neutral palette to match the existing decor.  So, I chose a combination of, houndstooth, gingham, check and velvet. In shades of Glacier and Sand. The children's toile print fit perfectly.





This picture frame will be a main focal point. It's a DIY project I've created that  can be utilized for several special. occasions
 I will give you a  video tour as soon as it's completed.




As we begin falling for fall,
I will be announcing...
  3 months of Holiday Giveaways!!

    What a little cutie-pie in that newsboy cap, Sara! You must be having the time of your life with him. I'm happy that my bulb tray was an inspiration for you to make some little pillows. When you finish them, make sure you show them! :-) Sue
