ponies and mermaids

In a casual conversation today, a friend recommended a fabric designer. After googling her, I couldn't believe I had never come across these GORGEOUS prints in all my travels. Heather Ross' designs combine the magic of childhood with style even an adult could love (and you will, trust me). The pictures are from her "Mendocino" line.
Check out Free Spirit for more from Heather Ross, as well as some of my other favorite designers including Heather Bailey!

it's getting hot in here

I lit the oven on fire today. Don't worry, everyone's okay - can't say the same for dinner.

Planning a party these days comes with SO many options. For those on short notice, I love email invitations. They are quick and easy and they keep track of guest information for you. The only think I haven't loved is the lack of selection - until now. Pingg.com is the ultimate evite site. Not only do you have the email option, but you can print invitations as well! If only I had these last weekend!

Doll House

Nothing is more DIY than a dollhouse... and every little girl should have one. Em got one for her birthday. If only I had seen these from Flickr, maybe I wouldn't STILL be working on fixing it up 3 months later...
ummm people are so into this... these doughnuts- the size of a pin head.

life as i know it

I don't know how Michelle Duggar does it. She has 18 children and still seems to function. I have a mere 2, and can barely manage to wash my face in the morning. Here's a few pics of what we've been up to lately. I'll try to be around the blog spot more regularly!

Mammoth List

Look what I found... stumbled accross the Mammoth List of Interior Design Blogs on Furnitude... happy dreaming!

valentines day

So, it's Valentine's Day tomorrow - already! When we were dating, Dave and I decided we wouldn't spend lots of $ on this particular day, but rather make things or do something together. The tradition continued and so, I just finished making Dave & the girl's valentine's... a few ideas for everyone else who left it to the last minute:
