Fantastic Playroom/Guest room

I LOVE this playroom! I really want to try and copy these pillows on the right as some Christmas gifts. Also love the idea of sewing two sheets together as a makeshift duvet cover!

Extra details here.

Crazy crafting

I just threw these up here last week to show my mom so I thought I would go back and add some text. We've been crafting up a storm!

Here's the little tote bag I appliqued for Molly's birthday. I copied one that Casey made for Audrey and I'm applique-addicted! (of course hers are way cuter.)



My mom and I bought a ton of cute fabric on clearance at Hancock's day after Thanksiving and we whipped this bedskirt out in just a few hours! Audrey was so funny when she saw it, saying, "Oh my goodness, Kolby is going to love this!" Kolby lived with us last summer during his podiatry rotation at Scott & White and she still calls the guest room Kolby's room, despite the fact that both Black Sarah and Fur-fur have lived there since.


Here's a canvas totebag I did for a Christmas gift...

First post...

Well I've decided to start a little blog to share ideas and get some accountability on all of my ongoing projects. I have evolved into quite the little blog-stalker so hopefully this will be a more positive use of energy that will help me get some stuff done! I'm pretty sure the Oliver sisters (Candice and Sara) will be my only readers but the three of us will have a gay old time. I've decided to name my blog "Shannon and company" because we have so much company I'm sure they'll give me plenty to blog about! I don't want to post on Josh's blog because the Audrey and Clark fan club would likely be bored with my posts.

Our good friend Ella Grace is turning one next month and is having a picnic themed party...I designed these invites for her and she is sticking little 3-d ant stickers in the blank space. (I blocked out the personal information in case either of you creepers tries to crash her party.)



Can't you just picture those cute little ants dancing across it?

So I thought it would be cute for her to have a coordinating outfit! I got this tank top at Target for $2.98, then the fabric and buttons cost about $1.19 so this is a bargain gift I will be making again!

"Our" idea (sorry Ashleigh, I have completely taken over) is to take a picture of EG wearing the tank and then design a cute little thank-you card that says, "Thanks a melon!" You guys know I do love a theme. Now imagine if we could only attend this shin-dig! We are going to my cousin's wedding in Austin that day so we can't make it.

If I decide to do a second post (and we all know that's a big "if"), you can count on some fun links and a new layout--stock templates just stink!
