DIY and decor

Man, I need to become a more consistent poster!!!  I'll get better at this...

Just wanted to share some recent crafts and things around the house I've done lately.  I have been meaning to share some crafts I have done but have not gotten around to it.  I generally like to make wreaths for my doors and the occasional decorative item.  This time I have made initials for my baby's nursery.  The theme of her nursery was neutral with orange and turquoise accents.  Since I did not know what I was having when I was pregnant, I thought this was gender neutral enough.  I had made some framed photos and a pennant banner in the colors of her room so I wanted her letter initials to be in the same fashion. Thankfully, I still had the scrapbook paper I used from the banner and I was able to glue it on to the wooden letters.  I was pleased with the results!!!  Here they are:



In other house news, we finally (actually I finally) bit the bullet and bought an area rug for our living room!!  From Ikea of all places!  Only $69 so I'm pleased as punch!!!  It's comfy, classy and just the right size.  Great for sitting on!  Here's a pic:


Just another step in getting our house ready for Maria's baptism party!!  Next up is getting our outside ready!!  Once I take some pictures, I will also share my diy decor items for her baptism as well!!

Until next time....
