Hey folks!  Thanks so much for all the recent comments on my blog.  I always love reading what you have to say 🙂 Just wanted to quickly mention a few things that I am super duper excited about!  First,  I was featured this week on the lovely  Just A Girl Blog with my Dining Room project….

I mentioned a few days ago in this post that I made the difficult decision to close up my Mouse House Creations etsy shop for a few months because of my current medical issues.  (find out more about my medical issues in this post ).  Since that decision, I have been busily working on completing all…

How many times can I write about my damned living room?  I am just about at the quota, whatever that quota might be.  I can’t even bring myself to post back links because I am embarrassed at how many times this blog has seen the phrase “living room”.    If you have a burning desire…

Several months ago, we determined that an upstairs craft/sewing room wasn’t working, mainly because I was unable to use it once the kids went to bed (or napped!) because of the noise. (original room found here  ) After much thought and discussion, we realized the best location for my studio would be a portion of the…

This is the Mouse House Family second annual trip to Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum.  Strangely, I never put pictures up from last year! The kids had a blast and we got there early enough to avoid the crazy crowds (and the crazy, weird earthquake that hit Philadelphia shortly after we left.  Strange, but true). One…

UPDATE! Here is the link to Ainsley’s room! https://www.welcometothemousehouse.comshabby-chic-bedroom-reveal/   Ainsley will be 2 in about a month (how did that happen?!) and she is still in her crib, but I really wanted to start working on her soon-to-be “big girl room”.  We probably won’t move her into the regular bed for quite some time,…

So, I am definitely super happy with my latest feature!  Cupcake MAG  has featured little ol’ me on their super cool blog.  Check out the link I gave above to see my interview and all the things they had to say about me!  They even had the editor’s daughter dressed in one of my Mouse House…

Anyone want to guess what my latest project has been?

I made another apron knot dress for Ainsley today and this is “supposed” to be for her upcoming 2nd birthday party in September, but I have a feeling it will get stained and destroyed before then! This time, I used Michael Miller’s Flower Fairy Princess Fabric and added a vintage table linen that I had…

So, this dress was meant to be for someone else, but I have decided to keep it for my OWN child for once! She saw it and immediately said “Dress for AC”?  (A.C. is her nickname:)  I couldn’t help but say “yes”.  I will get pictures of it on her this week.  Don’t worry, I…

You can find our old trips to Dutch Wonderland here here and here .  Well, this year was our FOURTH year of going and it was by far the best trip yet!  Both kids had the best time, didn’t complain, went on so many new rides, and there were no tears.  It was such a beautiful day today:…

That’s right!  We have finally moved upstairs with our crazy ideas!  No, we are not finished remodeling the first floor yet, but who cares.  I get bored easily and I always, always need a new project, so why not start on the perfectly good second floor!?! This has been mentioned before, but it needs mentioning…

I love that my kids are now at an age where they can play together and entertain each other (well, until they start fighting and whining and pushing and making me mad) Here are a few shots from the other day that I love! LOVE IT!
