Delivery Day!

We are so excited to now be able to direct you to one of our favorite stores now selling our products!  Re-Feather Your Nest got in a shipment of our newest "stuff" just today!  Oh, and did we ever have fun!  They have an amazing new store in La Conner, and their lovely shop in Mount Vernon...We love it! We want one of everything!!  And, did I mention their staff is amazing, friendly and oh, so creative! 

One of the benefits of going to La Conner today is that we got to go to Seed's for lunch....BEST LUNCH EVER!  May I recommend their meatloaf sandwich to everyone!  Go enjoy a day in the cute town, we know you will love it!  (And stop in and check out our new stuff!!)

Okay, Okay....what have we been working on this week?  Table runners!!!  Pillows!!! More Table Runners!!  The weather was beautiful and so we had the doors and windows open listening to the birds sing and play while the sewing machines were humming along!  Lorene, our momma duck, seems to be quite busy these days too...haven't seen much of her, I think those 11 kids are quite the handful!  Although we did notice that Walt and all the other papa ducks have sure been enjoying their days....free from the children and wives!!

Now that we have this weeks delivery under way, we are already thinking about our next fabric prints, bird patterns, and of course my new favorite...a squirrel silhouette pillow!  Call us Nutty, but those little squirrels amaze us at how much they can get done in a day....if we could climb those trees as many times as they do in a day, we could eat out at Seeds every day of the week!

We hope everyone is enjoying their spring days like we are.  Oh, and we hope that everyone has a friend like we have in each other, to enjoy these beautiful days with!  Here are a few pictures of our "Fun-ness" for you all to get excited about!
Workin' away!

We have to say that we didn't have a lot of high hopes for this little whale....we each hoped the other sister would figure it out.....now it is one of our favorites!  This is perfect for you out there that love the ocean and all that is in it!

Table Runners!  These seem to be the hot item this week!  These little birds are on burlap that we sewed on  heavy upholstery material.....love, love, love!

Plain and Simple....but oh so practical!  The starfish charm just finishes it off!

Another table runner!!  We almost didn't let these go....they would look perfect in our houses!

All the table runners bundled up and ready for delivery!  We can't decide if we like creating all these wonderful things or getting them all organized and looking cute in their delivery boxes!!

Here we are trying to keep things organized! 

Ohhhhh Boy!  This was a mess like no other!  We had each of our boards out trying to decide which to pack and which to stay....Which was our favorite and which needed torn apart....Right here in this picture there are so many stories!  Every piece has a story....Grandma G's tacks on the brown cork board remind us of her house and furniture...she would be so happy to know we are having so much fun.  The giggles and the reminiscing that went on while creating these are just to precious to put into words.  If only we could share this joy and giggles with everyone!

Ahhh what a weekend!!

Like we have said in the past....sleep is WAY over-rated!  My sister and I spent the weekend at our lakeside cottage studio and although not a lot of sleep was happening, our creative side was doing its thing!!  When the ideas came to a screeching halt, we sat with our coffee and watched "Lorene", our momma duck bring her 11 babies out for their first swim!  She even allowed them to come up on our beach for a quick rest before heading out on more adventures!!  we thought raising our families was hard work, we have much more respect for Lorene now, after watching her with her 11.

We were able to get so much done....like completed 25 chalk boards & bulletin boards!  Here are few for you too take a peek at and see what we have been up to:

A chalk board with a vase of flowers...a cute starfish charm....12 1/4 X 15 inches, made from re-purposed Rustic Pecan.

Just a few "Somethings".....

Fun is what we are having with the latest "Idea" from Nesting Instincts!



An amazing black framed picture that has a fabric background....the owl just makes it perfect for any room!  We all need a little "Wisdom" in our homes, and this Wise Owl will give it to us!





A cork board, a picture hanger....all in one, and cute too!!
This comes with an adorable flower charm to add some "bling"...we all like something to shine!!




 Ahhhhh....a framed chalkboard for those sweet notes we leave for our loved ones....or the grocery list? I know we all have those days when we can't find that paper, or pen when we need it!  This has an adorable starfish charm that dangles from the frame.




One of my favorites, I think!  A burlap pocket to hide that "stuff" that clutters the counter, or keep that pencil handy when you need it.....and don't forget the cork board!  The Starfish charm also gives it some character that we love to add.
Mr Wise Ol' Owl.....had to try and get a close up!


Welcome!

We are so excited to get our blog up and going!  We are bursting with ideas, hopes, and of course dreams!  What are we doing?  Well, anything that means being creative when it comes to organizing, decorating, or making that certain something that needs to go in that certain spot....you know what I mean!  Nothing can get in our way when it comes to making ideas become a reality!  Now you don't have to wonder, or ponder, or stay up late trying to figure out what theme your party should be, or what needs hung above your bed, or how you can make your home fresh and new on a budget....leave it to us!  We love staying up late and creating the perfect space for you...I mean, who needs sleep when  you've got coffee and chocolate....who needs sleep when they have the perfect sister to laugh with, throw ideas out to, and create an amazing, and perfect "thing" just for you!
