In a Pickle over Ikea

I've always been a fan of Ikea.  Um, can you say meatballs?  But seriously, their products are modern, affordable & versatile.  In my home, we go for the eclectic look with a mix of modern, vintage & well, today.  I'm in a pickle though, because I don't really need any new pieces, but I'm dying to have these new items (due to release in Aug.):

The last few orders are on the way and I'm ready for a little rest & relaxation!  

It has been a busy year for Joy Frameworks and I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved.  Your support astounds me and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be able to do what I enjoy.  Thank you.

May you  have a blessed Christmas!

Putting Pinterest to Work

Inspired by this tutorial, I created these t-shirt bibs for my nephew:

I'm not the best sewer, but I can get the job done.  I wish I had these for my son when he was a baby!

I also baked a cake from scratch (another first).  Using this tutorial, I created a delicious Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed one from the tutorial.

Have you been inspired by Pinterest?  Has Pinterest inspired you to create anything recently?  I would love to hear how this new Pinterest craze  has influenced you.
