Ruby Chic {Sneak Peek}
>> June 7, 2010
Want to see what I've been working on?
I think you might like it...
This apron is one of my favorite creations!
It has 6 different pockets, one that holds your fabric pencil and seam ripper, one for your scissors and the rest to hold all your other crafty goodies.
This apron also comes with a matching pin cushion that attaches to a velcro piece on the front of the apron.
There aren't many things cuter than baby girl clothes. And this onesie is no exception.
This onesie has a heart-shaped applique on the front. The back has a sweet little pink ruffle. It doesn't get much cuter than that!
All of these items can be found in my NEW Etsy Shop ~ Ruby Chic.
Hope to see you there!
Check back often, I will be adding several items over the next few weeks.
And as always, sorry about the awful pictures.
Too bad I can't whip up a new DSLR on my fancy-dancy sewing machine. Boo.

Our Office Renovation
>> June 2, 2010
We have a tiny house. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. Our house is 833 square feet. Yikes! So every square foot has to be completely functional and all of our furniture is dual purpose.
Our office {2nd bedroom} has been a huge problem. It's that black hole of a room that collects everything. Mr. Crafty uses his computer in there, but other than that it's a huge waste of space. In our house, we can't have that!
I have decided to renovate within the next few weeks! Finally. I found the perfect solution and I hope that it can combine his much-needed office space with my need for a sewing area.

I used Floor Planner to create my new floor plan. I LOVE this site. You can create room renderings in 2D and 3D, export and print your creations.
We also plan to use the desks that attach to the bookshelves.
Do you have a tiny house design dilemma? What space savers do you use to maintain peace and sanity?

Downtown Chic

I know I'm not the only one when I say I absolutely *need* this book.
I am in love with the Novogratz family and their show, and this book will be on my coffee table soon ~ at least I hope so!
I'm sure my next trip to Powell's will include this purchase.
Seriously? Can a family be any more gorgeous than them?
Have a Fabulous Weekend
>> May 30, 2010
I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. I sure am!
I hit up JoAnn's Fabrics for their huge sale yesterday with some of my best girlfriends. I scored some awesome clearance fabrics for only $1.50 a yard. Yahoo!
I've also been sewing and watching Lost. I have Netflix on my Wii so am able to watch them all online. After all the hype from the finale I decided to give it a try. I'm on the first season and I think I'm addicted. I may need to check into Lost Watchers Anonymous.

I love how area rugs can really spice up a room.
They can add so much to a simple room, and really give it that added "finished" feel.
I know when I'm decorating, an area rug can really add that much needed POP to a room.
Just Area Rugs has hundreds of traditional and contemporary area rugs.
Their selection is amazing, plue every rug ships for Free!

Estate Sale Score!
>> May 25, 2010
Mr. Crafty and I daydream about the houses in our neighborhood. We currently live in a tiny, I mean teeny tiny, condo. The homes that surround our complex are simply amazing. They are large, spacious, but still modestly-sized. They have shutters and big front yards, colorful front doors and big garages. Everything we wish of our dream home.
We love to walk the dogs down that street and dream of what it would be like to own one of those homes and fill it with our favorite things.
So you can just imagine my surprise when I saw that one of them was open for an estate sale! On Sunday, after making my weekly trip to JoAnn's I stopped in to check out the house, and the goods of course.
The owner of the home had a large sewing room with a walk-in closet filled with fabrics and about 100 patterns from 1970 or older. Most of her fabrics were polyester blends, um, not really my style, but I did manage to score some broadcloth and interfacing for just pennies.
She also had a cute little glass jar for notions, which I swooped up and
quickly filled with my favorite colored buttons.
In their large formal dining room sat this beautiful candleabra. I couldn't believe that with all the people there no one grabbed, so I quickly snuck it in my basket.
This little darling has a date with some spray paint in it's near future.
I also managed to get a set of six lemon yellow cloth dinner napkins and a *new* stainless steel tea kettle. Success!

New {Big} Project Photos
>> May 10, 2010
We bought a 1971 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia! We are so excited to take on this project together as a couple. We've been wanting a project to work on - something we can do together. This definitely fits the bill.
This is the first picture of her the day after we brought her home.
She's really dirty and in need of some love.
But she drives like an absolute dream and has SO much potential!
All Jerry Garcia and peace sign stickers are still intact. Those will be peeled off soon. :)
However, this peace sign came with the Bus and it will be staying.
We have some big restoration projects ahead of us. Our plan is to restore this Bus to it's original condition a la 1971.
It's a dark green color, so we'll be painting the bottom a fresh coat of green paint and the top a creamy vanilla-esque or white color. This is still a decision Mr. Crafty and I have yet to agree on. The back seats have been recently reupholstered, so we will be replacing the front seats and updating the seat belts.
