a few weeks ago- i got together with some fun chicks for some crafting~ i have been lacking in the crafting department for a while, so it was great to actually make some stuff--plus girl chatting time is always a good time.
I had also been wanting to make the kate spade inspired ampersand for my picture wall...{it's needing a lil revampage} So, I found the graphic online {here}, cut it out, traced it, and painted around it on the canvas---pretty easy~the finished projects~and a lil posing from caleb....
I ended up making a shirt for caleb--i just downloaded this old school font, and with the help of libby transferred it to the freezer paper and onto the shirt. I think it turned out pretty alright for a first timer. Hopefully i will muster up the motivation to make a couple more....because i did find a cute old school bike graphic that i really like....i feel another craft night in the works....:)

a few shots from an outing with the lil chicks and i. We had a fun day at the park..playing on the tire swing, and feeding the animals at this little local farm. The apples were starting to fall, and they loved it. Spending time with my two girls is top notch. Nora is starting to have quite the lil personality--she is 11 months in a couple of days....sigh.....on a happier note, did i mention we had some pumpkin bagels and cream cheese {einstiens bagels} after? oh ya--that stuff is insane delicious--i look forward to it every fall~

I love crafting days.. Its also an added bonus when it turns out how I'd imagined it! Cant believe our babies are really 11 months.. Is it me or has this year FLOWN by?! Well the kids are darling as always!
Ps. I have that same little white oval mirror!
Stellar DIY shirt! I always say I'm gonna take the time to make some AmAzInG crafty shirts, but always end up just painting some! Love the bike idea...if Henry ever moves outta his crib (he sooo loves it), I plan to create a ginormous bike canvas. We'll see. Love the shots of your adorable fashionistas with the apples! Ahhhh fall....I'm so in love with it right now! :)
you are sooo gifted!! And your kids are sooo stinkin' cute!!!! Pics are fab!!
You did a great job on the shirt! And BTW did you know seeing pics of your family definitely makes me want to have 3 kids! Hopefully it's as easy to raise them as your pics show? :)
A girls craft night? Why can't you live closer so I can join?? :)
I love the Beatles shirt...so cute! And the canvas is also a great idea!
And seriously I have been to Einstein's twice already for pumpkin bagels and they have been out both times, they need to get their act together!:)

Fall is the best. Lovin' the weather~ and cravin' pumpkin everyting! I might need a bagel today:) Have you tried the pumpkin smash smoothie at Jamba? Nic and i are going to attempt a homemade version... we shall see:)

I love your projects! I have been lacking in the crafty department too. Too much going on and so little time. =)
I was thinkIng of making that ampersand myself! Yours turned out great! I'm so jealous that Nora still keeps bows in her hair! Evie pulls hers out as soon as she realizes I've put one in now! Stinker :)

Still can't believe we're to fall already! It's nice that you're hanging out outside for as long as possible. Cute crafts too!

First and foremost-so happy that you bypassed the V-word and went with "old school". Kudos to you!!
The crafts turned out great. Caleb looks so hip.
Zoee's stripey socks are killing me. So sweet.
Oh I love that ampersand! It looks great on that wall!
I would be allover that girls craft night! How fun! And is there anything you're bad at? Like anything ever? Love all the pics of the kiddos too! Can't believe Nora is going to be 1 year old next month! Holy flying time Batman!
