DIY Rustic Table and Renovated Office

About a year ago our office was renovated and I was so excited about being able to choose paint colors and start from scratch. Yes, it has taken me a year to figure out exactly where I want everything and to purchase just the right items or make them. I feel like I need to live in the space for awhile before decorating everything completely. Especially when it comes to a work space, it has to be effective and efficient; cozy but still professional. We have customers that come in, so I didn't want it to be stiff like a doctors office, but I definitely wanted it to be warm and nice. A place where customers feel comfortable.

Oh, I must pat myself on the back and say that I made the rustic table with the stars!!! Yep!! Made it from scratch!! I received a new saw for Christmas and I made the table specifically for that wall. The printer/scanner is just so big and bulky; basically, it is an eyesore but it is something we can't live without. I definitely didn't want one of those cheesy carts that printers usually sit on. Problem solved: Make it yourself Haley!

Baseball Crib Bedding Set

This has got to be one of the cutest boy baby bedding sets that I've ever sewn up. We didn't get all crazy with the baseball theme but I felt like we added just enough to make it snazzy without it being too frilly and girly. Check out that banner on the crib!! Fabulous!! However, I didn't make that item, but I do think it's a great idea for a little boy's room.

Multi Colored Baby Bedding Set

I was asked to make a crib bedding set with about six to eight different fabrics. The “Mom to Be” wanted all the fabrics in the bedding set and didn't have a preferece on the fabric placement.  I was a little apprehensive about this idea especially since everything wasn’t “matchy-matchy”; but it actually turned out quite fabulous! The crib skirt with all of the fabrics sewn together is beyond awesome and then the quilt ... Ummm- Can you say amazing!

Cabinet Door Turned Necklace Holder

I'm a Texas girl- I have big hair, I love big gaudy necklaces and all kinds of jewelry; therefore, I have quite a few necklaces.  My old necklaces {HERE}, are overflowing and I am pretty sure the holder was about to fall over.

I had an old cabinet door that I took home from some place that I can't even remember. I knew I wanted to paint it turquoise and jazz it up with some knobs. I found the perfect knobs at Hobby Lobby; as wells, the crown piece.

I was super excited about how this piece turned out; however, I didn't even measure the space that it was supposed to go in ... Guess what? It was too BIG!! Uggghhhh!! I ended up selling it on Facebook for basically what I paid to make it. Oh well, now I have another reason to make something else fabulous!

Where We Love Is Home …

One of my besties has two sisters and a Mom that live out of town; she was stumped on what to get them for Christmas.  I gave her a few ideas and she decided on recreating the sign that I made {HERE}.   My bestie already liked the quote from the original and she chose different colors to match the décor of their homes.  We made two of them black and one of them maroon.  I am totally diggin’ on the black ones.  Maybe my Mom needs one of these for Mother’s Day?!

Girly Camo Bedspread

I feel so lucky that I get to work with so many different types and kinds of fabrics and patterns.  I totally love this camo, pink and green bedding order that I sewed up for a teens room before Christmas.  Since I am almost 30, I would never make this for myself, but it is such a pleasure to work on patterns and prints that I like.  I haven’t been able to get pictures of the room, but the Mom sure did love it when she picked it up.  Very fitting for a girly girl who still loves the outdoors. 

Valentine’s Day Cards

Paper crafting is my first love; although, it appears I am a better seamstress than paper crafter.  Usually I get together with my Mom and we make our cards together.  I always like to see what she comes up with because our styles are so different.  However, it never fails, we always end up buying some of the same exact supplies and don't even know it until we see each other.  She will see the look on my face and we will just laugh.  

I purchased the pendant punch from {PAPER ISSUES}; LOVE LOVE LOVE this punch!  I feel the need to punch out a million pendants; string them into banners and place them all over my house!  Everything else that I used in the cards came from Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree; a whole bag of glitter hearts for $1!! I couldn’t pass it up! I come up with a few designs and then mass produce; I think I made about 20-25 cards.  (So bummed, forgot to take pictures of my Mom’s cards.)

I always make a special dog card for my “crazy dog lady”!
