Keep On Dreaming …

I use to have a piece of wall art in my house that said “Live, Laugh, Love”.  I thought it was cute and fitting for my home but one day, a {guy} friend of mine walked in and said “Oh that’s original” referring to the sign and laughing.  He told me how he had seen that in just about every home he’s ever walked in {If a GUY has noticed this same saying over and over again … Then I have to believe that it is being overused}.  Even though he was joking, I knew I had to take it down and find something else.

Something came to mind when “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” sung  Eli Young Band became my favorite song.  I could listen to this song over and over again; it seems so fitting for my life right now.  Never heard it? {CLICK HERE}.  I decided to place part of the lyrics on an old piece of wood.

I ordered my vinyl from {SWAINSTON VINYL AND DEZIGN}.  Shannon has great prices and is always willing to help with the designs.  I have ordered all on my vinyl from her and look forward to coming up with other projects that include vinyl.

I am absolutely in love with this!! 

I am super excited how it turned out!!

Burlap’d Ceiling Tile Bulletin Board

We needed a bulletin board at the office; nothing cheesy but something simple without a lot of fuss.  I decided to use my ceiling tile bulletin board technique that I used a few years ago {HERE}.  The ceiling tile is covered with a solid brown fabric and then brown burlap.  I used my Cricut to create a stencil for the word “blessed”.  Super fast and easy; only took about 45 minutes of my time.  This could be personalized for any color scheme by changing out the fabric or changing up the words that are stenciled.  {{I need a picture of it in our office.}}

Giraffe and Paisley Crib Set

I was super excited to make this crib set because my only restriction was a color scheme.  While I don’t mind having restrictions when sewing for others; I totally love having free reign when I can.  The color scheme was pink and brown; with distressed blue furniture (not pictured) and a giraffe rug (not pictured).

I found this fabric selection at Hobby Lobby.  Can we say perfect?!

I made the bumper pads, sheet, blanket, crib skirt, curtain topper, 
changing pad cover and boppy cover.

I think it turned out super fabulous!  And it totally matches the style of the parents and baby.
