Oh Baby

Friends Andrea and Zach are expecting their first child in June. I'm really excited for them. So come to find out they are having a little girl and they would like the baby's room theme to be butterflies. So I know I will be making butterfly themed items for this precious little girl, still I wanted to share some wonderful handmade butterfly baby stuff I found on etsy.com
These are a few of my favorite things.


This name banner made by AugustandAgatha would look so cute in any little one's room!


Slings are all the rage and this one is butterfly-rific by SnuggyBaby.


Pacifier clips are a MUST! This one by Pacify Me is adorable!

So I know I will be looking through my fabric and ribbon stash for butterflies and keeping my eye out at the craft and fabric stores. When Andrea and Zach's precious princess arrives she is sure to have a room full of butterflies, in a house full of love.

Video Games

OK I by no means am a Gamer. But I really like Portal (I don't even own it), not only because it has a catchy song, but because hello it has Cake (lie) and companion cubes. So here is some Portal game inspired crafts and the Still Alive music video. Enjoy and let the song sink into your skull so you can hum it all day long.
First off if you want to cook your own Cake to prove to all it's in fact not a lie. Check out this How To on Instructables.

Cake and The Companion Cubes go hand in hand.

I can't say enough about this great Cross Stitched Portal slice of cake. It is so cute! FrgmntdDreams on etsy.com really made me smile with this one.


Or maybe you'd like to cuddle up with your Companion Cube? Estelle de Paris on etsy.com makes these huggable pillows!

This site has some adorable Portal crafts! Like these shoes!


And now for the music, my favorite line and my mother inlaws to, "We do what we must, because we can"

Reba and George

I was contacted by dwelling spaces in Tulsa, OK at the beginning of February about doing some wood burning. Of course I was interested. I was even more interested when I found out that they wanted me to custom burn frames for Reba McEntire and George Strait!


So I was received and email of all of Reba and George's number one hits. I went through and picked out several for each frame, added some personalized stuff. Like the star since George is from Texas. A diamond for the lyrics to Little Rock. And there you go, the frames were born. OK so created.
Since these frames had to be so big for the posters that BOK Center Tulsa was making for Reba and George. Since it wasn't a size frame I could just run out and get at my local craft and hobby store. So dwelling spaces found Jack Sampson of C2 Design. His work is amazing. I hope to work with him on future projects.
