Stelie Designs

  We've lived in our home for 29 months and it is forever evolving. Our main floor playroom (aka some day when the kids are grown dining room) has probably seen the most changes.  Because as the kids age, so do their needs and so do the needs of the playroom. It looked like this a few weeks after moving in. It was for baby or big toys only since my littlest were only 13 months old. then it evolved to this a year later  then then 7 months ago we inherited this heirloom which become our art epicenter. all the while, I was never IN LOVE with the paint color.  Our previous playroom had been a true turquoise, which I LOVED!!!! but was looking for something different more subtle with pops of color in this house.  I'd mentioned painting the playroom to my son, Paxton (7), and he was all, let's repaint it! let's repaint it NOW! umm, okay. Now I'm on the spot to either make it happen or disappoint my son.  What's a mom to do?!?!!!  ...

Hello, anyone there?...Is this mic on? heeheehee Oh my, January is almost over and I have yet to enter a blog post. Eeek!!! Its been an unintentional leave of blogging absense.  I have been valuing going to bed at a decent hour instead of staying up to write a post or two or three or thirty. I've been wanting to write, but where to start.  It seems I have a stack of items waiting to be photographed, which is what I share on here.  So I'm ripping the band aid off and just starting.  today. i am starting.  I even have a super long post in the works too. Thank you to all of you who are still with me.

Merry Christmas Everyone!    

 and 4 little children were reading so nice.  being so silly and adding some spice. then... mommy said "time to close your eyes" now all thru the house is quiet (if just for a moment.) Wishing you all moments of quiet, moments of silly and moments of spice this Holiday season!

A little something I'm working on for a Semi truck lovin' almost 4 year old boy! Which is your favorite?

One of the 4 holiday boutiques I did was at a country club in St. Paul.  The shopping event was Mistletoe & Martini.  It was a phenominal event businesswise along with meeting fabulous new people, catching up with a sweet familiar face and having oh so much fun. This was a shot early on before it got really full. I will definitely be doing this again.  The only thing I'll do differently is bring someone with me.  I was so busy writing orders for many, I missed out on helping + meeting others. YES. This is the LIFE. I did another last minute holiday boutique the next morning in Woodbury.  Which was so fun and a good business decision, I just wish I'd been able to do the evening part of it as well, but I was missing my family and we had a parade & fireworks already planned. I have another Stelie Home Holiday party tonight, my last one for the season!  This extrovert thrives on meeting people and chatting. Funn...

Hard to believe December is here already!  Where has the year gone?  This year the Holiday shopping season came early for Stelie Designs.  Awesome!   We managed to get 3 trees up inside, even decorated.  A few lights outside and that is all she wrote until next weekend.  Until then my holiday decor bins are hanging out in the living room, begging to be put up.  I belive we are the last ones in our neighborhood!   How about you, is your decorating done?
