wild rumpus party invitations…

April 1, 2010

thanks for all of your nice compliments on my studio!

i’ll be sure to answer all your questions about the wallpaper and floors in a post to come.

until then, i’ve been busy designing a wild rumpus birthday invitation for ezra’s 3rd birthday next weekend. i decided to do a “where the wild things are” party, since it’s one of his favorite books.

i kind of feel like i have to live up to his big circus party last year… ha ha..
well, not really. the truth is, i love to plan and throw a good party!

here’s what i’ve been working on. i’m going to print it on watercolor paper or textured cardstock, i think.

i’ll post some more pictures when i have them printed and packaged up cute.

take care…

my studio: the wallpaper …

March 26, 2010

Photobucketi have to say, i am very proud of myself for hanging all this wallpaper.i know it was just one wall, but it is tedious stuff.. and the wall is 15 ft long. also, this pattern wasn’t the easiest to match up.but, alas! i finished… late, late the other night long after the rest of the house went to bed.i couldn’t be happier with the outcome! i love, love, love it!now, i can’t wait to get my new desks in there and get it all organized!PhotobucketPhotobucket

my studio: the floors …

March 25, 2010

i’m really excited to finally start sharing some pictures of my new studio/office, or whatever you call it.i knew that i wanted to stain my concrete floors. until i found the wallpaper i wanted, i wasn’t sure on the color. but, i came across a photo from an old domino magazine, and it all came together from there.so, here’s a little peek at my floors. we stained the concrete a nice aqua blue color and i couldn’t be happier with it!you know what else they are good for?taking pictures of my sweet little norah on them! they make for a perfect background, don’t you think?this is such a classic norah face. her little pursed lip smile…PhotobucketPhotobucketcan you tell by the last one that she’d had enough..i just love that sweet little girl. can you believe she’ll be nine months on the 1st? time flies …check back tomorrow and i’ll post some pictures of my wallpaper…i know, you are just dying in suspense right? well, probably not, but here’s a peek just in case.Photobucket
