Union Jack DIY Art.

Putting together my daughters room has been quite the journey.

I've changed my mind on the direction I wanted to go about a bajillion and a half times.

I knew the general end picture I wanted to arrive at-- classic & vintage yet fun & colorful with absolutely NO pastels that might induce vomit from my pastel-intolerant-self.

So I've gone the handmade unconventional route with her room. Conventional is over rated, boring, and so  not me anyways.

Here is what I came up with for above her crib. [which is pretty grand, so I knew I had to do something on that wall] I absolutely love how it turned out.

Here is the source of my inspiration:

I made my version with a canvas, burlap, and some floral fabric that I had lying around. It actually worked out perfect because it has all the right colors from the fabric in the quilt that I am making for her.

& this is what Grace was doing the while I put it up & took pictures. My typically happy little helper was pretty beside herself. She is stuck somewhere between needing 2 naps but kind of really only wanting to take 1 some days... and it makes the afternoons hazy around here.
