Nesting

If you haven't visited The Nesting Place I suggest you do. But, a word of warning that once you get on her blog it is hard to get off, there are just so many neat ideas. Her blog is fun to read and I just love her decorating philosophy. The first time I visited her site I saw her post about making a Ragamuffin Swag. I just loved them and wanted to make one but I wasn't sure where.

I've made curtains for both the boys rooms in our other house, but of course they don't fit the windows here. So, I decided to make Swags for their rooms. I love the one in Luke's room, I couldn't be happier with how it came out. I think Will's could use a little help, I'm open for suggestions...

Luke's Swag


I bought these little tin stars a few years ago and never found the right place for them in the room, they were perfect for the swag.


I had lots of fabric left over from the quilts that my friend Kristi's mom made for the boys. The swag looks great with the quilt

Will's Swag.
I'm still very happy with the way it turned out, but I think it is missing something. I wish I had something like the stars I added to Luke's. Maybe I need to add a little more red?

These are some shirts that I made for the boys. I saw some shirts like these last year and thought they were too cute. So, I had to figure out how to make them. The boys wore them to church last week and I thought they looked adorable in them!
