SNEAK PEEK!



This is Allison's barbie bed that I made. Her barbie is always the sassy diva, kind of like Allie is in real life, so I tried to make it a diva bed. Gracie's is almost done but hers is more soft and feminine. I think I will cry if they don't like them because I had so much fun making them. The people at Joann's Fabric look at you kind of funny when you only buy strips of fabric. I guess not too many people make Barbie pillows. But hey for about $7 a piece they turned out pretty cute! I can't wait to give them to the girls. I'm not one for keeping secrets so it has been hard to not show them to them. I showed Olivia and she said "OOOH Mom, My barbie bed?" So I guess I better hurry and make another one for her so she doesn't feel left out!

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
