Lucky Seven Birthday Tour

Last week was my birthday and Mr. Stitches birthday.

  We started out our vacation at Bald Head Island.

The chapel is so pretty nestled in the trees.

We saw alligators, turtles and deer.

We rode around in the golf cart and took lots of pics.

And ate lots of good food !

Then we headed to the lake to celebrate my Dad’s birthday.

My camera died so I had to use the cell phone pic.

Happy Birthday Dad !

Now it’s back to real life and lots of sewing.

Beach Themed Room

My son's room was the most fun to decorate. We decided on a surfer/skateboard theme and surprised him with the room for his birthday. I found the bedding and planned the whole room around that. Imagine our surprise when it turned out to be back ordered for 6 months ! We painted 3 walls sky blue and put up a beach fence border at the bottom of the wall. I made roman shades with blackout lining to keep the morning sun out. The valances are blank skateboard decks that I painted and stenciled with hibiscus. The dresser was painted to match and the drawer pulls are skateboard wheels. Five more skateboards were used as shelving to hold books and pictures as well as the top for his nightstand.
