Little Kora's 10 month old pictures.

Presto Change-o

Look what I can do. You have to move your curser across the picture to see it. This is awesome. I am so excited to use this for before and after pictures. I learned it from www.theletteredcottage.net
Go check out this blog if you love interiors. Layla and Kevin are incredible.

Kora's Blessing

Kora in her blessing outfit. She looks so beautiful.
I designed and made her dress, made her bloomers from a tutorial on someone's blog,
I searched the internet for ideas on the hair piece. I wanted it to look a little vintage.
I also found inspirtaion on line for her shoes, but you can't see them in the pics.

Pottery Barn Style

This is the Pottery Barn Pillow that I wanted to copy. Do you think I came close?

I have seen on multiple blogs people creating the Pottery Barn Sweater Pillows. I really love cable knit so naturally I loved the pillows. When my favorite sweater got shrunk in the laundry I wanted to cry. Then the thought of it becoming a pillow came to me and I was a little excited about it. This was a way to save my favorite sweater and have the look of the Pottery Barn pillows. I love the way it looks on my striped chair the colors go so well together.

What do you think?

My Mother-in-law took these faux metal panels out of her kitchen and saved them for me. Now I need help. Should I put them up in our kitchen or leave the creamy wall paper that is there now? Here are a few pictures to help you decide.





This is what the back splash looks like right now. What do you think? Should I panel or not?
