i recently participated with a few other beautiful ladies in a fabric heart valentines swap that my amazing friend danielle hosted (picture is her’s). some of you may have seen some sneak peeks from my instagram feed a few weeks ago as i was working on these. three vintage cutter quilt heart pieces (i used the backing) stuffed with batting and hanging from twisted wire +  lace, doilies and vintage mercury glass beads make me happy. checking out what all of the other ladies made makes me swoon.

happy friday!

Just popping online for a few minutes to share with you that there are seven new kR digital kits available at two peas today, including the beautiful cabinet card frames above and the vintage letter press trays that you can see below.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday, it’s been very mellow here, which is so nice. The man has this entire next week off which i am looking forward to enjoying with him & the littles. Hoping we can make it into the city for a fun day at the exploratorium!

To you and yours happy new year!!

when we went to hunt our tree this past weekend i picked up two pre-made but undecorated wreaths at the farm. it’s one of the things i love most about the holidays, all the greenery that i place throughout our house. this year i decided not only was i going to get a wreath that i would decorate for the door but i bought a second one for the mantel in our family-room (will share that one later). our local craft store michales always has this amazing row of glittery stems so i purchased a few big piles of silver glittered eucalyptus leaves, gold glittered ferns and some velvety poinsettia stems. i just clipped each single stem from the large bunch (so i could add them as i wanted) and then wire them to the wreath base. sprinkle in some of the velvet poinsettias in a big bunch (i cut the stems apart as well) and fini. one BIG glittery wreath decorating the front door and a second one for the mantel.

goodness i love diy holiday decorating.

happy wednesday!
