after i saw this wreath on my sister's bff, cerise's blog, i just knew i had to make one! the original tutorial comes from the moda bake shop. (love that site, btw)

i always feel the need to be productive when watching tv, so as i was watching a very educational documentary Big Time Rush Movie, Jonas L.A., and Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami, i worked on the wreath. it took 2 1/2 jelly rolls and about 3 straight hours to do.

i just love how it accents my dirty door!


and of course today was the first day of school for my oldest two. a diva 1st grader and a very handsome 9th grader (that's HIGH SCHOOL people!).

i made some play-dough for my babies. boston raided my cabinets and made a "dirty junk yard" (his words)


cute lil' number i made for nanny

this was SUPER easy. super fast. and FUN to make! the pattern is maya by modkids. i decided to upcycle a t-shirt for the top. if you can't tell it says, "future mrs. jonas"

pillowcase dress for arella (our youth pastor's daughter)



this is a side-ish shot so you can see the cute bow...
this was such a simple pattern and it was fast. it turned out nice too. the only alteration i made was this: the pattern called for you to put the seam on the side and i chose to put it in the middle of the back.
