more yumminess!!

this last week i've added a couple new special touches to my home in red and aqua. i had a few packages waiting for me when i got back and let me tell you my friends are super talented!! first this cute little quilted bib i got from nettie, with the sweetest hexies!! i had just found the little kerchief girl hanger on ebay so the bib was the perfect piece to hang from it!!

nanacompany and i did a trade for some fabrics for these absolutely A D O R A B L E placemats!! every time i open a package from the sweet amy, it is like christmas!! the detail absolutely takes my breath away!! THANKS so much for asking to trade again!! amy is now working on an interactive wall quilt for me and i can't wait!!

an absolutely perfect apple placemat with a sweet patchwork border!!

hope you are having a terrific tuesday!!

red & aqua cuteness~ more decorating!

The last couple weeks I've added some new red and aqua cuteness to our home! I still have more plans but I'm loving how everything is coming together. Slowly but surely. :) It seems like an on going project, adding little by little. I think my next project will be a scalloped bunting.

These cute aqua shelves were the needed accent for a couple embroidery hoops. I just got some more vintage red and aqua hoops on ebay so need to find a place to add a few more lovely embroideries I've received in swaps.

Isn't this the most adorable little mushroom turtle!! He just arrived on Saturday from far off Aussie land! My sweet friend Amy made him for me, for the Urban Home Goods Swap but he sadly didn't fit in the package. When I bought some cutsie ribbon from her shop she sent him along. I absolutely am in L O V E with him. THANKS, Amy!!

And pom poms!! I've been wanting to add some fun pom poms for ages!! Ever since I saw my other sweet friend Amy, aka Nanacompany decorating with them here , they have been on my list. So excited I finally got some!!

I got these cute polka dot boots at Joanns! They make the perfect little vases! :)

a few larger ones hanging from the fan!

A quick and easy project, by adding a little of my favorite BB polka dot fabric!

See ya later this week!

gnomies, mushrooms & a makeover!!

Yesterday Heather and I worked on our blogs to give them a new look!! It was so fun working together trying to figure out the html coding to make a 3 column blog!! With all our groups, and bees, our side bars were getting a bit overloaded, and now I can add more linkies to the sides. :) With having a 3 column blog I also needed a new banner to fit, so enjoyed starting from scratch and love the new one!!

Also, I've had lots of new gnomes and mushrooms arrive. I've given them new homes in pots and terrariums! The wee gnome (above) is from the very talented Humblebea. LOVE, love, love him!! He looks so cute in my kitchen!!

These sweet little gnomies, and clothes line are from the lovely doodlebirdie! They had been a favorite for so long, and with my birthday earlier in the month, I finally bought them. They are absolutely cheek pinchingly cute!!

I was sooo excited to see mushrooms in the gardening section at Target a few weeks ago!! Every time I'm there I pick up a couple more to add to my growing collection!


Hope you are having a fantastic Friday!! I'll be having a girls week-end at Heathers and am sew excited that it is finally Friday!! Yippee!!
