NEW ITEMS LISTED

Those of you who check in with me regularly  know that I have finally launched my jewelry & accessories line on Etsy called Mama J Jewels/.  My shop is divided into jewelry boxes and each has it's own distinct name & style.  

I thought I would show you one of the new items just listed (it's very personal to me)

This is my military promise/support ring

As a USMC wife myself this is a great way to show your support for your Marine or soldier.  This ring is made from USMC Woodland BDUs and mounted to a lucky U.S penny and an antique copper or bronze base.

I have also done a Navy version to honor all the sailors and their loved ones.  I have all military branches available.

A portion of the sales of this ring will go to towards care packages for soldiers on deployment.

Hope you will show your support!

Check out Mama J Jewels on Etsy and see what other items are already listed and check back to see what new items will be popping up.

Im linking this up to a textile party in hopes of meeting new fabulous fabric artisians

and also this one because it's the hottest party in town

FINALLY....SNEAK PEEK OF JEWELRY LINE

Okay so this is the same accessory/jewelry line that was supposed to launch January 1st but I've been quite busy.

Nursery move & makeover
Bedroom move & makeover
Hallway makeover
Dining room makeover
Bathroom re-do

All while caring for 5 children and my fabulous husband, sometimes I must put things aside to take care of what is important.

Now that everything is almost complete in home improvements.  I finally got the shop opened on Etsy.  I decided to dedicate a separate shop just for the jewelry & accessory line.... Mama J Jewels is my new shop.

Im just loading up some pictures today from one of the categories (jewelry boxes) in the shop called Ripped...it features accessories made from upcycled items and recycled materials.

I will still continue to make things that are eco-friendly as i do in my Lucky 7 Design home accessory line. I think that it's important to try to be as green as possible, and this allows me to do so and be creative as well.

Here are a few pics from a few of the lines....hope you will stop by and check out the shop throughout the week to see new items.

From the RIPPED line

ANOTHER SNEAK PEEK

I wish I had a reveal to post but a 4 room makeover with furniture refinishing is a pretty big project.  Through in there that my family of 7 have all been sick the past 2 1/2 weeks!   Yea I've been a busy Mama.

But Im so in love with this paint color from Valspar I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek at a piece of furniture Im working on for the new nursery.    Well she's turning 1 so I dont know if it's a nursery anymore. lol

The project Im giving you a peek of is an antique childrens bed that I purchased for a lady in Jersey off Craigslist!  She was moving and they needed it gone.....I'll take it thank you very  much!

This is how it looked 

Side rail on top for sanding/painting

This is the finished product with my own distressing

I wanted it to look old as if it has been passed down for generations.

Wait to you see this piece in the new nursery....reveal coming up soon!

My new best friend...the color is ATLANTIC GRAY SR1009

It has the look of a Robins Egg Blue but so much richer and I just love it.  I will have to invest in a 1 Gallon can for all the things I have planned.

Your sample paint

Plastic mini tray

MEET MILA & AN AWESOME GIVEAWAY

Hey everyone...taking a break from painting and decorating rooms today.    I've been wanting to do this post for awhile but things have been hectic so it got pushed back.    But Im making time today, because she is so awesome.

First I must tell you how I found her...through her BFF Leighann who you may also know from her blog A Crafty Southern Chick.   I started talking to Leighann and then she introduced me to Mila (My-la)...right away these 2 girls had me.   South Carolina girls who truly love crafty, blogging and supporting one another, my kinda girls!

Leighann - Mila

So I want to share with you a little bit about Mila here and she doesn't yet have a blog (Im working on convincing her) but she does have a Facebook Fan Page and an awesome Etsy shop.   Her jewelry is crazy cute and creative.   I actually won a giveaway and have been lucky enough to rock one of her plate pendants.

 This is the one I have and love it!

 
I believe that certain people just have that special creative gift and she is one of those people.  When she was looking for some new plates to repurpose I went into my dish stash and sent her a little box of old china.   I cant wait to see what she does with them.

She is a Stay-At-Home-Mama to 4children, Savannah, 14; Katie, 11; Luia , 4; And Eden, 2. Wife to her awesome husband Eric and friends to many and I am now proud to say one of mine too.   Enough blabbing, she is Sweet and Southern and this is the awesome jewelry of Designs by Mila.

NEW NURSERY SNEAK PEEK

I've been so busy lately with the 2 blogs and FB pages and in the midst of all this trying to get a 4 room makeover done before my daughter's 1st birthday in March!  

Did I mention that I returned home  Sunday Valentine weekend and by Wednesday we all got some horrible stomach virus and it has spread to my entire family of 7 (not so lucky) lol   It's over a week now and still running through the house.   Can you say L-Y-S-O-L

Sickness and all, Im a determined decorator.   This is a sneak peek of what Im working on this week along with playing nurse to my family, blogging, and somewhere in there administering medicine to myself to keep going.

This is a before of my sky blue bedroom, which will now be the new nursery for my soon to be 1 yr old.

This is my medicine.....glass upon glass of Diet Pepsi

I put my FREE Valspar sample kit to use...thank you Valspar & Lowe's

Im still so addicted to the bird fabric that the room is going to be based on that fabric and color scheme.

If you look closely you can see that the sky blue wall is gone.....but that's all your getting for now.

Done so far:

Empty room

Prime & Paint room

Move in furniture

Install more closet bars

Organize all the girls clothes in closet

Hang curtains

Still to do:

Paint antique children's bed

Paint hutch

Configure a desk area

Add art to the walls

Dont forget to visit my Facebook page for your easy chance to win Nike/Jordan items!
