Presenting Arabelli

I'm excited to present my "Arabelli" blog which is just one big portfolio of my Interior Design projects, Refurnished Furniture, Crafts, Dolls, and Parties. By doing this I hope to find my niche of what to do or sell on Etsy/ Ebay or maybe it will help give you all ideas for your home or gifts. It's named after my daughter, Arabella's nickname. Alot of this is for growth documenting purposes and as you will see, cakes and parties are not my strong point, but talents I hope to develop.

I'm going to add a Jewelry, Quilt and Art portfolio soon so stay tuned.

I also hope to write and illustrate a children's book series called "Ainsley Painsley Pudding and Pie" and make quietbooks to go along with the line, but it's mainly for Ainsley to remember all the crazy and cute things she did, but that probably won't be accomplished til I'm a grandma.

Enjoy looking around my portfolios and viewing my monthly projects.

This Year's Christmas Decor


 I love my snowbabies.

 Made a seat cushion for this old box. Someday will paint it. 

Painted this shelf my sis-in-law, Alyssa gave me.  Finally made stockings for Andy & I, plus one for Lennea out of old material scraps.  Working on stockings for Jesus and an imaginary baby brother at Ainsley's request.

 Ainsley and Arabella's tree to decorate in their room.  It changes or gets things added to it everyday.



The Girls have already got a early Christmas present from their Aunt Lacey.  A big gigantic doll house! They love to play in it everyday.  Thanks Aunt Lacey!

 We added furniture I had as a kid and made. All it needs is a Christmas tree!

What I started to make, but needed it for our books.  It had carpet and the furniture in it, but a little cramped for all of Ainsley barbies.

A bed I made when I was about 12yr. old.

More Babyshowers & Birthdays

Well my crafting for the Holidays have begun with lots of B-days and Birthdays!

Diaper cake for my cousin Kaylee's baby boy:



B-day present for Ainsley's Friend Samantha (gave these ponies a make over and a new wardrobe):






B-day Presents for Ainsley's friend Savannah (gave this horse and bear a feathery make over and wardrobe):



 Made over Ainsley's dress-up shoes, too!

 Had to make over one of Ainsley's horses, too and give her a bear, just like Savannah.


Ha then Ainsley wanted to do poses with her horse.
