I painted this for my friends birthday! It is a painting of her Riverside Barn. A beautiful place that overflows with God's presence. Our family loves to visit this place. We go and pick fruits and veggies or flowers from the garden. Take walks along the Etowah River. A place were we can slow our pace and focus on our LORD!!! This is also one of my favorite places to sneak away with Joshua. Very tranquil and serene!! Thank you Dee for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!
When I was pregnant with Elijah Finn I attempted my first mural paintings. I had never painted on a wall before and was a little nervous. Plus, my belly sticking out so far made it difficult to maneuver. I sketched with white chalk before painting to easily remove any mistakes. It was not as difficult as I imagined. I enjoyed doing this as I thanked GOD for the baby boy that was growing inside of me. Now Elijah Finn is 9 months old and he loves these animals. Bless GOD for this baby!!! When I go into his room to get him out of his crib, I often find him smiling and talking and reaching for the animals. The Giraffe seems to be his favorite! Yes, Bless GOD!!!
This Gourd, I painted for my Mother and Father in Law. The clothes line and tree are actually behind their house. My sweet mother in law refused to hang it outside. She said it would get messed up so we tied a bow made of Raffia to the stem and she displayed it on their mantle. The raffia bow ended up looking really nice!

Below are my two latest "Kreations". I have finally sewn an outfit for Anna Kate. I have been day-dreaming and talking about doing this forever. This was a real adventure and challenge for me. I have never sewn a piece of clothing and I do not read patterns so, needless to say, when this outfit became tangible AND looked just like I had envisioned it in my head I was very excited! I have so many ideas for dresses, bubbles, ect. Now I have the confidence to try them. The flowers I painted for my niece's bedroom. I designed them to match her pottery barn bedding. They are painted on flat canvas.

I painted this scroll to match the brown and pink bedding and window treatments in this nursery. First I cut and sewed the canvas in this shape. Then I used curtain rods and finials for the ends. I chose a sheer ribbon to hang it with. This was such a fun project. I really enjoyed it! I think it would be cute to make one like this as a birth announcement with the birthdate, time, wt. & length. So special and unique!

These are nursing covers that I have sewn. a.k.a. "Hooter Hiders" You can buy these online or in stores but you will find that they are not long enough to give ample coverage when nursing. I add some extra length and width to mine to ensure that you are covered and can nurse comfortably. My nursing covers also come with a handy matching case for storage. This is a great new mommy/ baby shower gift. It is perfect for those on-the-go modest mommies. I have also made diaper clutches in the matching fabric. They hold a pack of wipes and 6-8 diapers. Very convenient for when you don't want to lug around a diaper bag.
I sewed this yellow bedspread, pillows, and window treatment for the guest bedroom in our home. I love to pick out distinct fabrics. I like the idea that I will never see it in a magazine or on a store shelf...making it unique. This can be an affordable makeover for any bedroom depending on the price of the fabric.
