Little Changes

I've been meaning to get these pictures on here for quite a while. It's so very nice what little changes can do to sweeten a room.

Maga has been busy at work creating little master-pieces that thrill me to no end. First up this valance:
Which I finally got hung tonight w/ the help of my sister (Thanks Naomi!)
Ignore the 1/2 blackout curtain (: I'm thinking some bright red colored black-out curtains would add the perfect finishing touches to this window! I'm going to have to investigate if there is such a thing!
If you notice Raggedy Anne - she shares a pattern with the valance!
Natalee (my little detail-oriented-girl) noticed right away that it was the same fabric!
Along w/ the valance comes a matching quilt & pillow case
(terrible picture i know! I thought i was going to die of heat stroke if I didn't snap the picture and get out of the bedroom!)ooooo I love the colors & the print and the old vintagey Dick & Jane blocks!
Maga, You are amazing!!And last but not least - this INCREDIBLE quilt/wall hanging made by Maga as well.
I. ADORE. IT.
I don't know how I can express in typed words just how much I love this one!!
(I'd love more things from this line if you feel so inspired MAGA!)
(Natalee was dying to be in one of the pictures! Look how hot she looks. Her face is beat red!)
I think it adds so much to a super, boring room. I am not very good at getting my girls' rooms finished.... seriously Maga's contributions are more than I've done in a LONG time! And I love the color scheme. It just adds so much. Did I mention that it adds so much? ??
Over here on the left, Shyanne finally has a twin bed and she is so proud of it! Hollie graduated to the red toddler bed (now located in the Raggedy Anne & Andy room that she will eventually share w/ the new baby) and she is SUCH a big girl in it!While my room decorating skills leave much to be desired... I'm excited for the little touches that make the rooms a little cuter! Eventually I will probably hide the ugly blackout curtains behind a cuter curtain -but for now - they are BEAUTIFUL to me - because they equal almost an entire hour of extra sleep for the Barton girls - and of course ME! (: WELL worth the ugliness! (:

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
