If you have not looked at Pinterest then you have not seen all the wonderful inspiration for designs and crafts. One of the things that I have found are awesome inspirational quotes that help me remember to be grounded. But be warned once you start you can't stop.
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the everyday business of getting through the day we forget some of the most important things.
Thanks for an inspiring week, Karen! We love the variety of ideas you shared to help keep us all thinking creatively and seeing sweet photos of your adorable baby Rose.
Ok readers, it's your turn to show Karen how much you enjoyed this week by leaving a comment on today's post. Let her know which day was your favorite this week and we will enter you into a giveaway for some SEI goodies. The giveaway ends Sunday, September 18th at 11:59 pm MST.
I don't know about your house but here at my house the fall is time for college football season which means on every GAME DAY (other wise known as Saturday) the Grover's all wear HUSKER RED.
Being this true to our team is fun but rather expensive especially when you are talking about an outfit for 4 month old.
Expensive because 1. they cost more than a pretty penny and 2.you take a chance in paying the $40 or more for a shirt one week but the next week she hits a growth spurt and it doesn't fit anymore.
So I decided the best way to avoid that toil and trouble is to make Rose her own special Husker onsie. My inspiration coming from those ringer tees that baseball players wear.
What you will need: SEI Tumble Dye in your team's color, packaging tape, plastic bags, SEI Iron-on Art in the polka dot letters, and a onsie.
On the front of the onsie tape off each sleeve and under the collar flap. Spray with the tumble dye. Allow each side to dry completely before handling to avoid putting red where you don't want it. I put grocery bags under the whole thing so I didn't get the tumble dye everywhere. I did get some on my counter top but it just wiped off.
On the back side tape off only the sleeves and let dry. After the sleeves are dry then tape the curve from the neck to mimic the front.
After letting it air dry and putting it in the dryer for twenty minutes I placed the letters where I wanted them on the onsie.
Fall is fast approaching so what does that mean? Long sleeve shirts, sweaters, jackets, pants, and possibly scarves. In other words a change in Wardrobe!
It all depends on where you live as to how much you will have to change your wardrobe. But the good people at Pantone has given us a guide for what is going to be the it colors that everyone will be wearing.
Here are some examples that are coming out for fall in actual stores
Renting an apartment really limits what you can do when it comes to decorating. Most places don't allow the renter to paint and you have to pay out of the nose when you leave tons of nail holes. So to decorate the wall and have only two holes the cork bulletin board was invented. Remember those are the bulletin boards that every freshman starting college is required to have in their dorm room. My opinion of these are that they are useful but not that attractive but somehow Tom and I have three of them.
So I have decided to up cycle the bulletin boards to use them in Rose's room. I bought some natural looking burlap to cover them.
I love using the staple gun. It has a little kick each time that makes it feel like an actual power tool and it is so useful in so many projects.
To add more than just pictures I added some SEI Corinne paper and embellishments treating the bulletin boards like they are giant scrapbook pages.
This month's guest has a special place in our hearts. Karen Grover worked here in the SEI Art Studio before she moved. We are so excited to see what she has been up to since then. It's sure to be an inspiring week (plus a GIVEAWAY Friday). So come check out something new each day!
