Winter Warmers

Went on this organizing and de-clutter rampage, and wouldn't you know I found fleece! Old blankets, some given to me and some just leftover from previous projects.   Did not want to let it go to waste.  After some some research I found Delia Creates and her ear warmers; love at first sight.  Little Monkey is ready for winter!

 Simple project to do and so much you can do with it!  Great DIY project!
Check out Delia Creates for tutorial and have fun experimenting!

Hidden Finds

With the intentions of revamping our little monkey's room to a more girlie toddler room, my eyes have been peeled for some serious finds.  Since we did not find out the sex of the munchkin until birth, I did not have the luxury of going crazy with the room then...so now it is the time.  Or so that is my excuse!

Previous finds were for a 'study' corner (desk,shelf etc) as well as a shelving unit for the book addiction!  Also worked on a 'framed' bow holder.  Two things I had been trying desperatly to find, a lamp and a rug.  

This past week while out and about with my sister, we hopped in to the same antique shop where the previous finds were found.  Awesome Awesome place.  Well, went in for my sister, came out with the lamp.  Fell in love with it because of the base (and $).  Also matches great with the theme of the room (check previous blog!)  What I did not like was the style of the shade, shape and frills.  So why not change it up a bit!
