Sun Valley - but not the Heppler Reunion

I took a very impromptu trip to Sun Valley this last week. My parents stayed a week longer than they thought they were going to so on Monday morning, at 8 a.m., I decided to leave for Sun Valley at 11 a.m. It was a wonderful trip and I was able to spend alot of great one-on-one time with both my parents and my mom's parents.

I know that I'm going to be in Sun Valley in a week and a half for a family reunion, but there was just something so refreshing about being there without all the noise and activities that just felt awesome. I completely miss Sun Valley, spending summers there. I hope that I can give my kids those memories just like my parents were so vigilant about taking us there.

I love Sun Valley. I miss it.

Here are some lovely pictures that I captured. enjoy

hello bumper pads.

We're Still Here

We've been so busy lately and mostly without an internet connection, so sorry for the lack of updating!!

Lots has happened, and most of it I don't have a picture for, but here goes!

We had the Hobson reunion! It was a blast!
I loved seeing everybody and was sad to say
bye to Tiff and her family as you guys go to dental school!

Max got to drive his first car!
very exciting!

Kyle's been gone alot on the river!
It's an awesome job and he loves it!

what else?
oh yes.

We've also moved. Stay tuned for pics of what I've done to the place :)

Latest Creation

Happy Baby GIRL Tiffany!!
SOO excited for you!!

Hampers can be fun, right?

Laundry is not fun. Especially when you have a broken laundry basket. So I've been on the hunt for a new one. And there are TONS out there. But I didn't want to pay what they were asking. Especially because I know I can fix something to make it just as cute if not cuter than what I could buy.

So.... I found this little beauty at my local thrift store for a whopping $5.20.
A can of spray paint and left over fabric later,
I've got this.

It matches (or will match) our master bedroom perfectly.
Plus, it was a fraction of the cost I would have paid
had I not waited 3 months to find something that I could fix myself.

I love being thrifty.

Felt

Okay, question. What is something that I have in abundance?

any guesses???


well, since you didn't guess it, I'll let you know.

F.E.L.T.

Holy Crap. I have SO much felt, it's not even funny. And it's just sitting there because I really only use like 2 colors for my store and I have every color that felt comes in.

So...the question came up... what do I do with all of that??

Answer... make a rug.
Because another project is what I need right now.
(seriously, I can never have enough)

So I googled felt rugs to see if they were even something that existed, and to my delight!
They do!!! And, they're durable!!

Check out this example!!

awesome??
I think so.

Done.

Now, What else can I make?
