Ooh Baby Baby!

Soon the Hatley girls will be snug as a bug in a rug in their sweet nursery. Everyone is anticipating their arrival sometime next month! I had the privilege of adding the final touches with fabric to the nursery. Their beautiful Mother picked out pink and green baby toile with coordinating stripes for the crib skirts, valance and table skirt. I absolutely love the black cribs that Lyla and Avery Kate's parents picked out! A new chapter is about to begin in the Hatley home......a chapter full of laughter, indescribable joy and more love than ever imagine! I can't wait to meet you girl's.

Blessing Others

Most of you know that I work side by side on many projects with a precious friend who is a fantastic Designer, Connie Sandlin ( www .laughterbylakeside.blogspot.com). Our most recent project was like none other that we had done together. She was asked by one of her very dear friend's husband to re-do his Master Bedroom as a surprise for his much deserving wife. He had a budget and told Connie to work her magic.....and that she did! She pulled fabric swatches, paint chips, shopped for decorative items and put her creativity to action! She had a blank slate to work with. She is truly one of the most talented people I know. Once fabric was picked out.....remember, her friend had no idea so Connie had to pick what she thought her friend would like, I began the sewing process. We had a short time to get everything completed and ready for installation during Spring Break. Did I mention that I had a complete hysterectomy during this project???? Even with that obstacle, we managed to finish everything just in time. Connie spent 3 days straight painting, decorating and installing window treatments....I could only help with the "small" stuff since I was only a week out from surgery! Her friend came home to a beautiful master bedroom that she can "retreat" to with her sweet husband. I was truly blessed by being a part of this "surprise" project. Enjoy the pictures.
