Jacque Made: a place to share my creative side.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned.  I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them.  And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much.   The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them.   This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Ren's Hulk room is a work in progress. It is just about where I want it to be, thanks to this gallery finally being up. Ren and I chose the photos together for his wall. I wanted some of him with his brother and sister, and he wanted one with Cate, his cousin. My sister Jaime designed the prints. I love them. The Hulk piggy bank is from a store in Seaport Village (San Diego) called American Nostalgia. I think you can buy it online, too.   The sand timer I found randomly at TJ Maxx. I love it in this gallery. (When I first brought it home I teased Ren that it would be his time out timer.)  One of my favorite photos of Ren. Completely captures his sweetness.   I love this print. The font is awesome. I will post the rest of Ren's room soon. I just have a few more items to hang for it to be complete.

I still remember the day in January 2011 when I found out I was having a baby girl. My husband looked at the ultrasound screen in disbelief. We already had two boys, and he was sure he was getting a 3rd. (To make himself his own foursome for golf games was his dream.) But somehow I knew she was coming. And I was elated! I could see all the girly goodness in my future. And I couldn't wait to meet her, dress her and decorate her nursery! I immediately started shopping for girl clothes and shoes. I searched the internet for days on end in search of the perfect fabric to make her crib bedding with. I chose this set of fabrics from the Parisville collection by Tula Pink.   This was my first time making crib bedding, so I was just happy that it fit the crib! I loved how pretty and feminine the fabrics looked. My mom had given this angel bear to a friend of hers. That friend, then, when finding out I was having a girl, gave it to me. She thought my ...
