Monogram!

Monograms seem to be what's going on lately...so I jumped on that band wagon right away...I had our guest room pillow shams done at my local embroidery shop and I love them! I really changed this room out from cottagey and feminine to a more simple look. I even caught Addi admiring them! ya right...she was up to no good when I caught her climbing over the foot board of the bed...Have a good Tuesday!

A little retail therapy...



First I want to thank all of my blog buddies for their kind words and uplifting comments! You are the best! How did you know that was exactly what I needed to hear! I love Blog land..I do have to apologize for my last post...a new day and a little retail therapy helped. (plus a 1/2 bag of Dove chocolate eggs.)I know this can be dangerous,(to my hips and my pocketbook) but I stayed within my budget. I got this sweet bird and nest plaque at TJ Max, it is made out of a heavy plaster. Perfect hanging on my wall in my Tattered nest office/studio...Of course I had to pick up a new purse for spring and I also found the sweetest little nest full of eggs rubber stamp...do you see a pattern here? Kinda obsessed with anything related to birds, nests, eggs, lately. So all in all it lifted my spirits a bit...today will be even better! My three sisters are taking me to lunch for a belated birthday celebration! My oldest sister ( retired) has been gone for a month to Mexico, so we waited for her to come home to celebrate...I am off to lunch toting my new purse. Have a nice Sunday!

Got the bloggin blues.....

I am a sad sack today, just got the blah's....aren't you glad you stopped by ? Not much to blog about. I was suppose to go with my girlfriend's this weekend to a cabin up north but it got postponed...so I am pondering what to do. The weather here has been so cold... WE NEED A CHANGE! I can't wait to go walking again with Addi. And I really need a good garage/estate sale to get my blood movin again... I think I will go look in the paper and see if I can scope one out! Sorry so negative today...I hope everyone has a great weekend!

bits and pieces of Easter...


Happy Wednesday Blog buddies! just thought I would share some pictures of my Easter decorations...Although it is one of my favorite holidays,I don't do a lot of decorating for Easter, just my harvest tables...this is what is on my dinning room table this year. How about you? do you go over the top for Easter or keep it simple???

Another before and after post...


I am getting pretty close to finishing up my studio/office.
This is the before shot, ugly treadmill is now gone! bye bye... and the black bench went away also...so did the yellow walls and now it is a fresh robins egg blue! I like it much better with the black accents. Below is my inspiration board and my dress form (her name is Nettie). Mr. Tattered nest built my work table for me, the top is made out of an old door I refinished and the legs are square posts from Home Depot.

I added a few stools and I love it!

A Heat wave!


Spring is in the air...I think. It is going to be 34 degrees today! So I thought I would add some Springiness to my nest. I was at my favorite once a month sale Mustard Moon on Thursday and I picked up a few things to lighten my mood. Here is a bunny from my favorite artist Suzanne! She is in a new shop next door to Mustard Moon and the shop is called Carver Creek Dry goods...Isn't this bunny sweet and glittery? thanks for lifting my spirits Suzanne! I am busy today redoing my studio/office...pictures to come. Have a great weekend!
