Boise Bus!

Remember THIS blanket I made for my husband? Well I had some scraps, and decided we needed to show a little more spirit for our Boise State Broncos! (if that is possible!)

Nothing like a Bronco Bunting to get you in the mood for the big game!

Gotta love Football season!

Coffee Filter Wreath

I was in need of a new wreath for our front door, since I have had an egg wreath on the door since Easter... My girlfriend had a beautiful wreath on her door, and when I asked where she got it, she said a friend made it out of coffee filters! So I headed to the dollar store and picked up some brown coffee filters and a wreath.

Total cost of project... about $4.00. I used 12 mini glue sticks, 250 brown coffee filters, and burnt the heck out of my fingers, but I got this beautiful wreath to show for it.

I was going to make a tutorial, but I found a few great ones online, so there was no need. Go HERE, or HERE.

The Baby

We found out yesterday we are going to have a GIRL! Three girls, wow, a little overwhelming, but hey we have plenty of girl names we like and no boy names! Since I have so many girl things, there isn't alot of prep I need to do for the baby, but I am recovering/re-doing the bedding for baby girls crib. Here is the fabric I am using...


The crib bumper

The quilt

The Crib Skirt
Now, I want to paint the crib as well, BUT I can't decide what color!? I was thinking

WHITE
or
YELLOW
or
Light AQUA
or
Lime Green?

(but no pink, because I don't want to repaint it IF I ever get a little boy.)

Decorating Pumpinks...

Sorry for the image quality, its a phone photo... but this year we decided to 'decorate' our pumpkins instead of carve them. The lace was a 2.00 tablecloth from the thrift store! Cut a hole for the stem, and hot glued to the bottom! Pretty, but still spooky. I like it!

Crepe Paper... REALLY!?

Who ever thought Crepe paper could make something so pretty!? I saw THESE over at House of Smith's, and have been dying to make a wreath version ever since! She has a tutorial HERE on how to make your own flowers. I want to make a really BIG one, but thought I should do a practice first.
So I headed to the dollar store, and got 1 package of pink crepe paper (it came with 2 rolls) and a green foam wreath and went to work while I watched Hero's on Netflix. I will admit it was a bit time consuming, but not difficult at all!
It matches our bathroom quite nicely!
