Its been awhile.....

But I have some good excuses!  Life got in the way.... then we moved, and then I had the cutest new project ...
Oliver George....  Oliver because we liked it and George after my grandpa who passed away 2 years ago.

Anyway, I have had a little time to do some crafting.  I made an art hanger for Emma,  I got the idea from something I saw at target, and figured I could make one for less.  


This project was super easy.  I already had the letters for her name, but you could buy vinyl ones or purchase and paint letters from the craft store.  Then I purchased the picket fences pre done at Michaels.  I went to Home Depot and had the wood cut to size for me.  Then my dear friend over at http://justthreemoredays.blogspot.com/cut out the bird house and birdie shapes for me.  I let Emma paint the birdies and glued clothes pins on the back of them.  Simple and cute!

When I was pregnant with Everett I made him and Emma the blue towel hangers.  I needed to make one for Oliver too, and since we rent I needed a way to hang them all, that wouldn't leave dozens of holes in the land lords walls.  I think it turned out pretty cute!

I have an art hanger in progress for Everett too.  Will post that when I am finished.
