I have been meaning to do this for a while.

I saw this idea on another blog, I think inspireco, but I'm not sure.It was really easy to make. I just took a 12" wreath frame, spray painted it white and then tied ribbon on in various lengths. (Ribbon is all from my shop: The Ribbon Jar). I made sure I tied the ribbon on super tight, and warmed a few of the ends that I thought would fray.The ties that are hanging onto the cup hook are made from this ribbon. Now looking into Tuesday's room:Tuesday loves it, it is very high so there is no way for her to reach it, but it moves a little bit with the fan and she likes that. I think doing something like this at showers, weddings, or with lights and in a studio would be awesome. Happy weekend all!

It is really heating up here in more ways than one… First of all the temperature has been hotter than ever – into the 90s. Hot weather calls for awesomely cute little outfits. Tutu wore this little number from my friend Stacy:
Doesn't she look cute? Thanks again Stacy we love it. Funny thing though, I showed Bj the outfit, and he was all, "ahh sweet." Then later I had her over my shoulder and Bj said, "what did you do with her dress?" It's a little onsie sort of with dress on the front – genius, because she's always picking up the hems of her dresses to pull them up.We stayed in the basement most of the day, nice and cool there. Here is her new jumpy device:She would like to demonstrate it's wonderfulness for you:It's called a Merry Muscles and I read about it on Amanda's blog. The other thing heating things up in here is our new range. Now I think Bj would be excited about this anyway, but it sort of marks the end of our remodel, so it makes him extra giddy.Yes, Bj is the cook in the family, I am very lucky indeed. Heres hoping things are heating up in your neck of the woods. -
I have tons of ideas floating around in my brain, culled from blogs, magazines, etc. A few days ago I finally reached up in that foggy space and grabbed some of them. They are all very easy. I have seen this arrangement of frames in many design idea books, but I sent Bj to Ikea and he found some colorful frames and help me finish off the artwork section of Tutu's room:
I didn't bother framing the record sleeve or invitation to my baby shower, I just stuck them on the wall with double sided foam tape. We have one more awesome print to get framed, and are going to look for another to fill in the bottom space at the art fair this weekend. On the other side of the window:A framed paper sample from Sciarrino (one of her graphic designer perks). Tuesday loves this and will twist around to see it when she's on her changing table. In my craft room I finally pulled apart a few Foster Art Guides and framed them up simply:But when I went to hang them I had a springy nail problem. Anyone with lathe and plaster get this? I don't know what I kept hitting but after six holes in the wall I called it a day, we'll bring in the experts (Bj) tomorrow.I got this idea from a photojojo newsletter a long time ago.And speaking of jars… I have finally re-instated custom jars. I know a lot of people have been asking about them, but I wanted to make sure I could get the turn around time down to a couple of days, so that custom orders didn't take weeks to get out. Seeing as how I now have baby fun zone down in the work area:I am able to make this happen. I have been getting re-energized about Ribbon Jar with my machine, and Tuesday's love of anything ribbon or tag like. More ideas coming soon with my pretties. Right now I do want to let you know I'm clearancing out the jars that are in stock now, as well as the spring fling paper kit. Lots of yummy goodies in there so check it out.Unrelated, but I have an old Franklin Covey planner and storage binder I'd like to see if anyone wants before I give it to goodwill. It's the classic size (and needs a refill), and in the most wonderful pea soup green color that I love so much:It is well loved, but still I think awesome. If you'd put it to good use let me know and I'd be happy to send it to you.snapped up, thanks!
