My Girls

Seth and I are incredibly lucky to have three beautiful girls! Our home is an overflow of - bows, tutus, lip gloss, fairies, princess attire, nail polish, boas, jewelry, headbands and of course LOVE! Little girls and all their accessories rock...what could possibly be more fun? My poor husband is so outnumbered-even our dog is female. Seth is the most amazing father/partner and he adores his family. I consider myself and the girls extremely lucky. There aren't many men like my husband-Best Friend,Father, Spouse and chef:) Oh, I'm pretty fabulous too-haha!

My first DIY drapes

Yeah, I made my first pair of drapes for the kids play area. I pathetically have no sewing skills (hope to learn soon) so I used Witch Stitchery a no sew tape. I used inexpensive burlap for my fabric (about 6 yards) and stenciled the bottom half with personal characteristics. ex. Be Unique Be Thankful Be Caring Be Yourself... I hemmed only the top and bottom half but for a more polished look I would suggest hemming all sides.

Burlap only $3 a yard 

Witch Stitchery- LOVE LOVE LOVE who invented this

Circle Clips for hanging the drapes

stenciled words with acrylic paint and sponge brush


Finished Product




Placed  old family photos on sisal rope on playroom wall
I need to add a few more things
