Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's day and I was so excited to have Jack give his papa these matching t-shirts i found on Etsy .. (SuperSweetCreations). Unfortunately Papa was not at all excited to wear it in public but he did let me take a picture of the 2 of them which is soooo cute. I also accidentally bought him a father's day card that was for a "grandfather".. oops! it was in such small print that i never even saw it. That, along with the t-shirt did not win me any points. I think i am going to have to buy him an ipad.

Jack turned 2!

My sweet little boy is already two! As someone said to me, "the days are long but the years are short"...  i feel that is sooo true with children! It took me a while to get Jack to smile in his birthday hat. I am obsessed with that Hat! I think it's the greatest thing to write the year on it so you always know what birthday it is. I found it on etsy and i am determined to get a picture of him every year with that hat on until i am dead and can not force him anymore. (i say that with great love, of course!)

strawberries and flowers

We have a little garden on our balcony thanks to mother! and we already have strawberries growing but they don't have much time to hang out because as soon as my 2 year old sees one, he picks it quickly and shoves it into his mouth!.. clever little kid. I got a photo of this one before i even let him on the balcony...  this one is gone too.

skull pendant

For my friends birthday, I made her this skull necklace/pin with a matching wooden box! It's so cute that i think i need to make a few more!

Sailing Lessons

For one of the gifts my husband recieved for his birthday was Sailing Lessons. I folded up the certifcate into the shape of a sailboat, then blopped his head onto a sailer in photoshop!  I thought this was such a cute way to present sailing lessons!

Joyeux Anniversaire!

Today is my husband's birthday!  Since he has been learning to play the guitar and Jack is obsessed with his guitar... i thought this made a cute birthday card. I assembled it in photoshop.

Sunny Day in Parc Monceau

I have been in a creative wave making different necklaces that i am really excited about. The toughest part for me is giving a title to these necklaces. The ones i come up with never seem to properly give them the excitement and flair i think they deserve. So in a quiet moment, it dawned on me to name them after incredible gardens i have been inspired by and visited. This piece is the start of that and Parc Monceau is the perfect description of  this piece in my opinion! All of my pieces are inspired by gardens so naming them after famous parks and gardens seems like the perfect fit. I am now excited to do research on all the famous gardens of the world!
