"Nose Sauce"

I thought that title would draw you in =)

Today Anna and Caroline were playing when Anna ran out of the room. A few seconds later she came in with a tissue and said "I need to wipe Taro-whine's nose because she has a little bit of nose sauce coming out!" I just laughed! She's too funny!

I hope everyone stayed safe in all this crazy tornado weather! It was wild here. Anna told Casey that "the Outside was having a baaaad day today!" It was indeed!

Meanwhile, I've been working getting the girls' room put together. I bought this fabric a few years ago when I was in London with Hannah.



Their room is the exact green color that you see in it!

I love it!

I don't have much. I orginally thought I would make Anna a little smocked dress with it someday but that never happened! Now it's going to be a couple of pillows for their beds and piping for a couple more!

I got this next fabric on clearance Monday and I'm going to make two ruffled bedskirts for their twin beds.


(Not sure what Anna is doing..ha)

Tricia gave me a white pottery barn hanna quilt and two white hanna shams that she found on clearance somewhere crazy like dirt cheap or something. I found a second one on sale on Potterybarn.com... so that was awesome!

I have high hopes for thier "room cuteness".. ha!

Of'course I also have a few little art projects up my sleeve:



I made this little magnetic memo (photo) board to match the Liberty fabric. If you didn't know.. they have a magnetic paint primer that you can paint on just about any surface and make it magnetic. It took about 6 coats but I think it was worth it! I took left over buttons (from the bathroom button frame) and painted them to match. Then I glued several together to make cute magnets.



I was pretty excited with how it turned out!

I also have a big six foot long board that I plan to paint sort of the same with "ruler markings" for keeping up with their height!

Naurally I'll keep you posted on it all!
