Tree Skirt: Take 2!!!

Last year I found a tutorial on pinterest to create a burlap/muslin ruffle tree skirt. It really was easy and perfectly matched my Christmas decor. It was exactly what I was wanting. I received the best compliment from my sister in law. She like it so much she asked me to make her one. Only downside....I forget how much skin I sacrifice burn on this project.

I started off with many two inch strips of burlap and muslin. Then I just folded and glued. Here is my skirt from last year.

This years...

Growing so fast.

Liam was able to sit and play with his toys tonight while momma and daddy put away groceries. It blows my mind how fast he is growing. We truly are blessed!!

Chalkboard Update.

I added in Liam's little turkey hand. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. So cute!! 

BOOK CASE!!

So I have really been needing to clean out my girls room (girl cave) closet. It didn't get tackled during the nesting frenzy. Instead it became more unorganized and cluttered. Our Christmas tree took up half the good sized closet.

I started by throwing out half of what I didn't need and donating things. Then I ordered a tree bag and put the tree outside in the shed. SO MUCH MORE ROOM! I knew I needed a bookshelf seeing as I own my own movie story basically. This doesn't even come close to my book collection by the way.

I found a huge bookshelf at a yard sale for $3 bucks! I knew it would need some TLC but so do all my projects. I had the tools to fix it up and one of the two colors I needed to $3. I highly recommend valspar samples!

Movie Bookshelf a Success!!! (Btw: the other piece of furniture was another project. Has tons of storage!!)

Kitchen Chalkboard

So, I pretty much suck at keeping my chalkboard up to date. My first chalkboard preggo pic stayed up the whole dang pregnancy! Well, I found some chalkboard markers and I LOVE them!!

After many attempts at neat handwriting, I'm mostly fed up satisfied. The word "thankful" looked soooo pretty, then my husband told me I left out the K. Couldn't get it as pretty after that. He then had the best idea to do hand turkeys. I'm going to attempt my 6th month old's tomorrow. Bless my heart.
