Forever and ever and ever.....

Ahhh, where it all began....my E.P. peeps will recognize this one. This was my first vinyl experience and I've been hooked ever since! I thought it turned out pretty good seeing as I was scared to death about laying the vinyl down crooked and sanding the edges too much but I know I wasn't the only one feeling that way that night! Thanks ladies for an awesome evening!!

Amours!

Candle Art

One of the cheapest and elegant ways to decorate your space is with candles. To make your accessories stand out, why not add an accessory to your accessory? Layering a simple ribbon and jewelry charm adds depth and personality to an otherwise boring ol' candle.

Dunny, Privy, Water Closet....

We call it,

You know when you try to tell your guests where "the Loo" is? Inevitably they look left and right until they find it. Why not end all confusion and mark the place with a tasteful piece of art? This is hanging on my guest bathroom door right off my kitchen, it looks better than the pictures (the small dark hallway isn't the best picture studio) portray it and I LOVE IT!

Halloween Fun

As a kid, I never got an official Halloween-store costume, I had to get creative and make my own. I do think the year I was Cruella deVille was my best work of art to this day. I believe when you are forced to be creative, you learn the most about what your abilities truly are. I love Halloween, always have, maybe because my birthday falls in October and my mom always did cool themed birthday parties for me. I made this adorable plaque to commemorate my birthday month and loved how the spider turned out, he's awesome! (this was also a giveaway a few weeks back so watch for the next giveaway....)

Shhh....

Who doesn't wish their child Sweet Dreams each night? Chocolate and pink sorbet are still a gorgeous colour combination but can't you just picture this in a blissful blue combo for your baby boy too?

Hush...

Anyone who has babies knows all too well that it is not fun when the baby gets woken up. This sweet piece came from inspiration from a darling little store here in TX while out for the evening with my friend Brittany from MN. The store's version was a small 3x5" plaque w/a lousy gingham ribbon, no bells and whistles and they wanted $20! No way! Who wants to pay that?? I re-created it into this...



Now, will one of you please have a boy so I can further create this into a boy version??

WELCOME EVERYONE!!

As baby R has been healing and G is getting into his routine and not fighting me so much I'm anxious to start creating more. I gather ideas from others as well as from my own head. This blog is my own setup of what things I can create, the possibilities are endless!!! Some may not turn out as well as in my head and mistakes are bound to happen but no one is perfect right? I hope you enjoy what I create and if you ever see anything you like, let me know, I'd be happy to make something for you (not for free silly, but a fair price we agree on, accessories aren't cheap)!! My giveaways will also now take place on this new site so I hope you stop by often!

Amours!

{What's in a name}

Chocolate letters on a winter white background, scrumptious sophistication!

Accessories are my fave! Nothing over the top, just enough to make a statement.

Throw a pop of color on this board and eyes will be drawn to it, don't you agree??


Pretty in pink and a style that will not be outgrown in a year or two!

Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon, everywhere!

Details: 18" x 4" laminated wood. 

Amours!
