Blue Birdies

Most of my recent projects have been decorating our house in one way or another. Plenty to keep me busy for quite a while! In our room I decided to go with a birds and trees theme, using a robin's egg blue and dark brown. On Etsy I found EarthArt, an artist who paints on wood leaving a lot of texture. She is very willing to do custom orders, so I told her I wanted two birds on a branch using browns and the particular blue-green for the sky and this is what I received. I LOVE it and it fits perfectly in our room!

I also created these three images to hang just by our door. My three birdies greeting us as we enter and bidding farewell as we leave the room.

So, yeah, it's been a while again. Lame excuse (but true): we couldn't find the charger for our camera and didn't want to buy a new one because we knew the old one would turn up as soon as we did. After a few months we bought one and as soon as it arrived, I found the old one. Anyway, now we have two. I've done a few little projects in the last 6 months (I sure would hope so), and this is one.

It seems as though most kids these days have their names displayed in there room in one way or another, and this is one of the more generic. I bought some pre-cut letters from Michael's and glued scrap book paper to the fronts using colors that coordinate with her room, of course. This is the result. after I've finished all of my planned projects in the room I'll post some shots of the "finished" product. Even though I don't really think a room is ever finished and they just continue to evolve.
