Zazzle is so much fun! It's this awesome website where you can put your own designs into t-shirts, sweatshirts, aprons, shoes, mousepads, keychains, mugs, necklaces, and a bunch of other stuff. I only have a few of those options because honestly I was lost in their for hours and hours and my family was starting to wonder if I would ever come out.

Check it out! You can buy anything you see in my shop and I'll be adding more with each new fabric line.

I Love Le Creuset

I'm doing a review for Le Creuset that I have just purchased from CSN stores.

I have some casserole dishes and a new frying pan that I use pretty much every day! I chose the Aqua color to match my kitchen decor, but you can get it in 5 other colors. Check out the yellow and orange. They are both calling my name.

Maybe I'll do some mixing and matching in the future!

In the 15 years that I have been married I have never owned a nice frying pan. What was I thinking? I mean, the amount of money I have spent on lame-0 frying pans is probably 3 times what it would have cost me to buy a couple of really nice ones! I am so annoyed at myself.

I made a quesadilla on this pan the other day and it was perfect. It melted the cheese and toasted the tortilla at the same time! That rarely happened to me before. I would usually either burn the tortilla's trying to melt the cheese or have to reheat the whole thing in the microwave.

The pan was kind of expensive, but I look at it as an investment in perfectly cooked food every time. And now for the next few years, my husband doesn't have to try and guess what I want for gifts. So nice for him.

I love, love love my Le Creuset!

Rag dolls

We just got these in the mail from my friend Toby! She surprised the girls with these 3 little rag dolls and of course they immediately named them and started playing with them. I have found them in my bed, my sewing room cubby's, my car, and my shoes. They go everywhere we go. What a sweet gift!

I have already commissioned her to make more.

Thanks Toby!

Miss Modd Bedroom

It's finished...

Whew! That took FOREVER. I'm so glad it's done and the girls love it!

Thank goodness.

So here is the lame-O before bedroom, just a shot of the bed:

I was using a quilt (that is still one of my favorites) from Pottery Barn and my girls favorite snowman sheets from Target. Kind of cute, but not really.

Here are all the after pics:

The frame collage above the bed was what I used at Quilt Market in Houston. I'm so glad I could find another use for all of those fabulous frames! I opted to not use the sham that I made last week and went for a stripwork body pillow instead. Then I added some ruffles to the polka dot pillow cases and voila, it's done! The little bit of the Quilt you see there is this one. And the bed frame was only $100 from IKEA.

The shabby white candlesticks are from a local consignment store that I visit at least once a week and the candles are from Target. They smell very tropical and make me want to quit working and head for the beach!

Those baby pictures below still melt my heart.

The two awesome flower paintings on the wall are done my aunt Lila.

The green distressed candle stick came in a bunch from a shabby chic Etsy store I like to keep tabs on. She buys old stuff and upcycles it. So cool!

Oh...and I love this lamp! I got it about 6 quilt markets ago from IKEA.

Lot's of a pillows on a bed somehow make it look very inviting.

You can't see it, but there are 4 rows of pillows there!

Last but not least, my favorite picture of all time, from Quilt Market of course. I got this frame at IKEA and painted it brown. I have seen it painted in just about every color, but I am finding that I am kind of partial to it in teal. Hmm, maybe I'll have to get another one.

The pictures on the wall behind the bed were taken by my friend Britt of Snap Pea Photography last Valentines Day! I have been wanting to do something with them, but didn't know what until I started putting the frame collage up. I was going to do a bunch of baby pictures, but during my search I came across these and knew they had to be used in the design. She is amazing.

SO that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed all the tutorials (right side bar) and my fabric collection Miss Modd. I have a new line that has been submitted and will be shown on paper in Salt Lake this May. It's called I love Paris and was inspired by my trip to Paris over the summer. It's very different from Miss Modd. More...sweet, for lack of a better word.

I think you're going to really like it. I will show a little preview soon.

Bye!

So Fluffy...

I was sitting at my computer, totally involved in my own little world. I could hear their giggles, but I never looked up. After awhile I got up to get a drink and saw my 3 darlings sharing a moment at the kitchen table...

It's just so fluffy.
