Rainy Day Fun

2010-04-25T18:29:00.006-05:00

I've been wanting to make a fun little space for my son, so today I decided to clear out all the junk that was piled up under our basement stairs. After a good bleach scrub down, I created a little market using recycled containers, christmas lights and some other things we had lying around the house.
Parker's Market was a huge success! Although he charges quite a bit for his groceries, he does accept credit cards. After a good half hour the market closed down and a pizza shop was opened up. :)
It was a fun rainy day!

Easter Basket Options

2010-03-13T12:00:00.005-05:00

Last Easter I decided to think outside the traditional basket idea and found this great little red vintage toolbox from the local Thrift Store. The Easter bunny filled it with all sorts of goodies. What a nice bunny. My son and I left the Easter Bunny a little slice of cake, a carrot and a sippy cup of water in case he got thirsty. He really appreciated that and left my son a little thank you note. Thank you Easter Bunny. We'll see you again soon. This year I'm thinking that THIS might be a nice alternative to the basket.

Modern Gift Tags for Wedding Party

2010-02-22T19:26:00.004-05:00

I've been in the Gift Tag kinda mood lately. Here are a couple that I think would make great tags to attach to bridesmaid or groomsmen gifts.

New Modern Mini Cards

2010-02-20T21:54:00.004-05:00

Today my son decided to take a nap...so I had time to make some new designs. I love these new bright and cheerful mini cards I made. They are great for all occasions and currently for sale at Moderncard.

Kids Snowmobile Party

2010-02-01T19:21:00.014-05:00

This year my son requested a Snowmobile Birthday Party. YAY! Since I haven't EVER seen any snowmobile themed party supplies this was a tricky request, but I think I pulled it off!

For the cake - I made a vanilla sheet cake and topped it off with a few mini snowmobiles, a fake tree and a couple snowmobile signs I made out of toothpicks and paper.

The Party Blowers were made from disassembling some generic ones and adding my own image to them with tape.

The hats were made out of assorted Amy Butler papers, Snowmobile Stickers I made with Paper Source Round Labels and some string. Next time I will definitely use stronger tape to hold the strings in.

The Party "Poppers" or Crackers were a hit with the kids...not so much with the parents when they found whistles inside. Once again I disassembled some generic ones and then added my own ribbon and snowmobile image.

All the Snowmobile Images are one of my original snowmobile drawings that I photocopied to make stickers, invites and other decor (like the banner, that isn't pictured). If you are interested in your own custom personalized invitations or party supplies, please visit Moderncard, my online shop at ETSY.

First Baby Blanket

2010-01-24T19:24:00.017-05:00

I just finished sewing my first baby blanket! It is made with a modern bird print fabric and white corduroy on the front. The center square is made with an aqua colored damask print. This same damask fabric covers the entire back of this blanket. I'm thinking of listing this on my shop (Moderncard) on Etsy, but I might just give it as a gift.

Parker Quotes

2010-01-17T19:55:00.004-05:00

My son was three years old when he said this. His little sayings crack me up, so I made up some quote cards that I have around the house.

If you are interested in custom quote cards, please feel free to contact me by visiting Moderncard, my shop on Etsy.

Honeymoon

2009-03-11T20:56:00.004-05:00

Six years ago, for our honeymoon, we went to Maui and stayed at this FANTASTIC B&B. I just received an update email from them, which reminded me that I should blog about this place. If you're planning a vacation to Maui and you are looking for a unique and one a kind place to stay, I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

In love with these.....

2009-03-08T11:20:00.002-05:00

Parker's Room

2009-03-05T20:12:00.008-05:00

Parker's Room is decorated with art work from
his dad and his great grandfather. Graeme made the cool metal sandshark for Parker when he was born - and the red and white mobile still hanging above his bed. Eric Gurney, aka Papa Gurney, made the painting of the birds "surfing" on ice floats. The painting makes me smile every time I walk into Parker's room.

Decorating a Table for a Pink Themed Shower

2008-05-18T12:30:00.000-05:00

If I were planning a pink themed baby or bridal shower, I would look for an assortment of pink depression plates and glassware to serve hors d'ouevres and tea sandwiches on and to put candies in. I would place all of those on a modern printed fabric (that I would sew into a tablecloth). I would find all the pink beads I could and string them around the tables edge, a mantle or any surface that needs a little more decor. All of these great items can be found on etsy.
