I did this crafty thing for the Red Barn Blog before I had Lowell. One of the easiest projects I’ve done for them so far, and one of my favorites.
Don’t let the state of Texas fool you. This technique can work for any shape you can cut. There are so many possibilities!

I cleaned out Leyna’s closet last week in an effort to figure out what I do and don’t have for the next baby. As I pulled out little storage boxes and bags overflowing with tiny onesies, I began finding artifacts that lead me through wormholes, to little glimpses of what it was like to have a newborn baby Kendall or Leyna. It’s strange how a tiny t-shirt with snaps in the crotch can do that.
One of my favorite onesies from Kendall’s infancy had a tear where the snaps should go. I was sad I couldn’t hold onto it for the next baby, and I couldn’t bring myself to throw it in the trash.
So I cut out the front, and I framed it.
And then I got my inspiration for this month’s Decor & Cool Spaces post on the Red Barn Blog. Head on over there to check it out.
My trip to the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel this month inspired this simple, paper mobile tutorial for the Red Barn Blog.

Have a spare crib mattress laying around? A lot of parents do once their final baby graduates from the toddler bed, so even if you don’t have one free right now, chances are someone you know… or someone on Craigslist does.
Scott and I came up with this easy project that turns a crib mattress into a beautiful dog bed, perfect for big dogs or for smaller dogs to share. It’s easy to customize it to work with any decor.
