I LOVE pinterest! There is endless inspiration!
A while ago I found this image on pinterest and thought what a great idea and so simple!
I’ve had so many ideas for the art above the headboard that it has been hard deciding … so I might try them all to see what looks best – check out this post to see my first take
and the beginning of my second take –
The pattern is a loose interpretation of the back material of the pillow sham or bed skirt – I plan to paint them yellow like the console table

On another note – I was recently in a store and saw a dress and thought – hey I think even I could make something like that! off to pinterest I went and found a super easy tutorial
Following the tutorial – I used a tank top from Target and cotton ikat fabric, some coordinating thread and elastic thread for the waist
Here is what I came up with …
David took these photos this weekend while we were down at the beach – please excuse my awkward modeling … I chose the best ones I could find
My Mom is an amazing seamstress and made a lot of my clothes when I was young – while this isn’t nearly as detailed as what she made me – I still think she would be proud!
Sarah, I love the dress!
