Maternity Leave

Currently both Etsy shops are temporarily closed while I take maternity leave for the months of February and March.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but hopefully you will return in April to place your order.

In the meantime, here are a couple pics of the somewhat complete nursery room.  I say somewhat, because I know this room will constantly be changing as we adjust, but for now this room awaits the arrival of our little guy.

I made sure several handmade items were scattered throughout the nursery as I felt that added little touch was really important to me. The bird mobiles that hang above the crib and changing table were inspired by Jen Hewett‘s bird mobile blog post that I’ve had bookmarked from over 10 years ago. With the extra fabric, I made the “YOU ARE OUR GREATEST ADVENTURE” sign that hangs over the crib.

I had these custom triangle shelves made by a family friend.  I sanded and stained them to match the grey decor. The blocks on display were created by family and friends from my baby shower when we asked them to “Decorate a Block.”

Winter Woodland Themed Baby Shower

I can’t believe in just 2 short months, our baby boy will be arriving!

Although the nursery is far from done, it’s clear to see that Baby Jackson Danny is already loved and spoiled by so many.  Starting with a Winter Woodland themed baby shower my sister threw me earlier this month, complete with a chili bar, hot cocoa bar, and a ridiculously delicious dessert bar.  Family and friends gathered and showered me and Jackson with so much love, gifts and diapers!  🙂

Here are a few pics from the beautiful event…

I highly recommend having a diaper raffle!  We got so many diapers ranging in size from newborn to stage 4.  It’s one less expense for us to worry about as new parents.WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image8

Tables were decorated with tree trimmings, baby’s breath and little woodland creatures.WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image9 WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image17 WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image10 WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image11

Doooooooonuuuuuts!!!

My favorite, hands down, were the Blueberry Glaze and the Peanut Butter & Jelly donuts.  Yum!

All desserts, including the amazing vanilla cake with berries, was homemade by my sister.  And yes, the cake tasted exactly the way it looks!  Amazingly delicious!WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image14

The lucky winner got to take home a prize as well as the jar of 314 gummy bears.WinterWoodlandBabyShower_image15

I love the idea of a creative activity to entertain guests with.  It’s a nice change to the over played baby shower games.  After the blocks were decorated, we put them all in a bag and I randomly drew a block for a winning prize.

Decorate a Block

Please lend your creativity to decorate a block for Jackson Danny.
So while he is playing he will know he is loved by many.
Feel free to use a stencil or draw freely.
Just don’t forget to sign your name on the block.

What party isn’t complete without a party favor?

These all natural Rosemary Lavender soaps were the perfect size to package up and gift to all the guests.

From Irena’s Shower to Yours!  Thank you

We are beyond blessed and grateful to have the support system that is our family & friends.

Home Sweet Home

The last couple months sure have been a whirlwind. Besides being in my 2nd trimester, we recently moved the home/studio. It’s been a long time coming, but we finally found our Home Sweet Home, which includes a great space for our studio! Just this past weekend we had a housewarming/baby gender reveal party and I wanted to share the fun party favors we sent our guests home with.

How adorable are these antique looking keys that serve as bottle openers?

By the way, we’re having a baby BOY!

Ina + Tee Become Three + Bee

Excited to announce that we are growing a branch on our family tree.

big_brother_bee_image1 To make our announcement to the entire family, I customized this handkerchief for Bumble Bee to wear at a family get together.
big_brother_bee_image2My nephew’s reaction was probably the funniest as he thought we were going to adopt another puppy.
