Holly has discovered her toes. She has always loved it when I’ve dipped them into her mouth during diaper changes, but now she can get those suckers herself. She’s pretty much to die for all together.

And I just love this series of 3 photos:

This is Holly’s upset face. It can mean one of many things for example: I’m teething, hungry, sleepy, frustrated, lonely… in this instance it was hungry. Time for lunch! Upset Holly

Hello! Today’s the day for me to share some photos of our Living Room. I made the curtains and pillow covers. Whew! What an amount of work! Our loveseat is from the Corona collection at Macy’s. We bought the couch off of craigslist but first we went to our local Macy’s Furniture to test ‘er out. Who doesn’t love a good deal? And our slipper chairs are from Target. They’re super comfy and I’m really happy with them. The fabric that I used for the curtains and pillows is Joel Dewberry’s Ginseng collection and I bought it off of Etsy for no more than $7 a yard. Some of it was only $5 a yard. Boo ya! (Many thanks to our interior design friend, Lisa Jensen, for the consults).

I’m really digging the new lay-out. It makes the living room feel so much more spacious but keeps it cozy and comfortable at the same time.Living Room
I wanted something interesting on these pillows without making them too busy because we’re in such a small space. I gathered a 4-inch strip to half it’s size and added that in. I think it works perfectly!pillow

And Holly, the girl that gags when eating avocado. Seriously. She does not like avocado.Holly

Do you like our re-designed living room as much as I do?

Did everybody have a good Valentine’s weekend? We sure did! Conor and I went to the temple Saturday afternoon and then re-arranged our living room furniture. On Sunday, we made heart shaped pizzas… yum!

We gifted ourselves some Valentypes from House Industries. Cute, eh?

And Holly, that lucky girl, received some tights all the way from London from some of our good friends. She really likes them. Don’t let the tear on her cheek encourage you to think otherwise. Holly’s an emotional baby these days.

Todnight, I made Holly a pretty, purple pettiskirt. And I think she loves it, or she better. My sewing machine and I have spent a lot of time together this week, curtains, pillows, etc. It was time for something fun and quick. But no, that ruffler foot is the devil. I think I’ve got it, after 3 bent needles, and a few nasty phrases. It was all worth it thought because Holly looks darling, don’t you agree?
