I want my dolly!

Why am I in love with hand-made dolls? I mean dolls-I'm supposed to grow out of that aren't I?
I really want to make one of these. (Or better yet, have someone make one for me as a gift...in my dream world)

calendar in love

Linki love this calendar. i want one for our art room/ office/ playroom...what about that green?
i'm liking something close to it. but am not sure I could pull it off.

and since this is the 3rd image i've snagged from the same place i thought i'd better tell myself it's here.

art room paint

i'm thinking about doing some thing like this with our play room/ office/ art room. just leaving the white at the top, with chair railish thing

more wall collage

oh man! I love they way these pictures sort of bobble along the top of the couch. Seriously it's so interesting. I would never have thought to hang frames that way. I love it. Other interesting wall collages are here.

MY chairs

ok...so nate has been making fun of me because when we got our new table, the nice people gave us some chairs-some nice chairs. some chairs, i came to hate. not because i hate the chairs, just because i hate the chairs in the space i've got. anyway-just saturday i painted the old hand-me-down chairs we've had for ages. i used only the paint we had in the garage-no purchase necessary. Anyway...they look EXACTLY like the green and white chairs on the cover of this magazine. is that hillarious or what? see. maybe i do know what the heck i'm talking about.

Button Napkin Ring




I really like this idea from Martha:

Call on loose or mismatched buttons to serve as the charming clasps on handmade napkin rings. You'll need shank buttons, which have holes on the back. We used a variety of mother-of-pearl buttons, each about 1 1/2 inches across. Thread a 12-inch length of cording through each shank, and tie its ends in a knot. Secure knot to shank with a needle and thread so that it will stay hidden behind the button. Wrap cording around a folded napkin, looping it back over the button to secure.

You could make so many for different occasions
