Crib Refashion

Last week I got inspired to take the crib down and refashion it into something different.  As usual my inspiration came from Pinterest and I wrote briefly about it here before starting the project.

This was my inspiration:

Its such a great use for a piece of furniture that can no longer be used for its original intent.

In our case we were given a crib by my mom in the hopes that my son would sleep in it.  Well that never happened so we have had an assembled crib just hanging out in Sophie’s room for months unused.  The moment I saw this picture I knew we had to recreate it with our crib.

Taking Pictures for the Website

Since The Nest Creation is a one woman crew sometimes you have to get creative when you are shooting pictures for the website and the etsy shop.

During a break in the rain I took the opportunity to take some pictures of all the infinity scarves I have been making so I could post them on the website and my etsy shop.  I didn’t have anywhere to set the scarves down since I was taking pictures in the backyard so I resorted to just putting all the scarves on.  It got a bit bulky by the end.

Craft Room

In a perfect world I would have a bright and airy sewing studio that I went to every morning with my LARGE coffee and I would spend the day sewing and blogging and being creative on the computer.  Check out the Olahbelhe Sewing Studio and drool with me over how beautiful it is.

While that space is beautiful and maybe one day I will have a space like that I am just thankful that I have a space I can leave my sewing machine out.  It is so hard to get motivated to sew if you don’t have a space where all of your sewing stuff can stay out and organized.  In the interest of keeping it real here on the blog I wanted to show you a picture of what my sewing space looks like.

Pinterest Love

I am definitely not the first person to profess their love of all things Pinterest because let’s face it that website is beyond addicting. I remember when I first joined I would spend hours pinning things every day. The difference for me and lots of people on Pinterest is that I actually do some of the things I am pinning. You can find me on Pinterest here.

It is such a great resource for people that are into crafts and DIY because it is littered with lots of inspiration. Also planning a child’s birthday party is so easy with the help of Pinterest. I joke with friends that had Pinterest been around when I got married it would have been completely different and probably over the top.

A New Endevour

Welcome to my newest love The Nest Creations.

I read something today that perfectly summed up my desire to finally start The Nest Creations. Jennifer Fulwiler from the blog Conversation Diary talks about finding time to blog she says

if your life is anything like mine, you have precious little free time, and even less extra energy. You don’t need to add more work to your schedule. However, if you pursue a passion that gives you energy when you undertake it, it can be a blessing to both you and your family.
