Oh, look at this little sweetie with her birdie mobile! I love it! Hadley’s mommy got this gorgeous bedding from Serena and Lily-the Lola pattern-and wanted a pretty mobile to go with it. The center of the mobile is a flower in the same design as the flowers on the bedding, it has lots of hand embroidered accents, chenille puffballs and mini puffballs adorning it. The mobile has little birdies hanging down that coordinate with the bedding as well. Each hand made birdie has embroidered accents on it’s body, wings and head. Both the birdies and the flower of the mobile are made up of several different fabrics to coordinate with Hadley’s bedding.

Oh, I love this little chair for so many reasons! First of all, baby Addie-Adelle Josephine Russell- sits with her back to us on the main scene on the seat of the chair! This image is adapted from a beautiful picture that her photographer mommy took of her. (you can see Sandy’s amazing photos on her site here: http://summerlandphotography.com/ )The little pink dress, the bonnet with the ruffles-too adorable to stand! Then the little bunny stuffed animal that she is holding-this is taken from a gorgeous quilt that Addie’s grandmother (mommy’s mother) made for her! As are the little flower designs along the chair arms, seat rim, runners and the top of the chair seat back.

Also pictured with Addie are the two family cats-Quill, the long haired orange cat, and Lilly the grey, black and white tabby, as well as the family dog Colt.  There are several birds in the scene, lots of flowers, and an owl in one of the trees.  If you look closely you can see Addie’s full name “hidden” in the tree’s leaves on the left and her birthdate hidden in the tree on the right.

On the scene above on the seat chair back you see two “real” bunnies (I’m imagining that Addie loved her play bunny so much that it became real just like in the Velveteen Rabbit!), one bunny is meant to be Addie and the other is meant to be her big brother Mason-see how he is bringing her flowers? Oh, big brothers! This scene shows a dusky pinkish sky with a red fox sneaking a peak through the bushes of flowers. Hiding in the grass and flowers are a couple of field mice and in the trees are more birdies and another owl.

It was such a treat to do such a fun rocking chair for little Addie!  I can’t wait to see the fun pictures her mommy gets of her enjoying her special rocker!

This castle canopy is certainly fit for a princess-or a little prince! The canopy comes with 10 birdies that can be positioned wherever you would like them-on or off of the canopy, 4 braided closures (one for each panel), a mommy birdie with 4 eggs in her nest and a nest with 3 baby birdie hatchlings waiting to be fed!

The canopy’s castle measures approximately 3ftX3ft and the panels hang down approximately 7&1/2 feet from the 14 inch high castle. The castle and canopy are made of a beautiful tarragon cotton broadcloth, with windows and scrollwork quilted onto the castle portion. The castle is edged in a braiding made of the same fabric. The panels can be closed or held open with the braided closures, however you desire!

I envision this type of canopy above a little girl or guys bed-giving it a four poster look! Add to this look by having me hand embroidery your child’s monogram into the scrollwork!

Check back for more pics on this fun project as this one was for Missy Kettler of Missy K Photography located in Naples, Florida. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with with all of the little prince and princesses she takes photos of!

I love being able to see little Hampton and baby Hadley enjoying their fun Coffey Creations! Thank you mommy Adrea so much for sharing your photos with me!

If you look really closely you can see Hampton’s quilt draped over the corner of the bed with a camel showing! Similar to the camel on his piano! He also has an awesome wall hanging behind the head of his bed that goes with his bedding. This little piano was made to coordinate with Hampton’s room colors and bedding, but it also includes his ABC’s and lots more animals for him to find and have fun with! To see Hampton’s mini piano in more detail click here.

Hadley’s dollhouse/bookcase is full of lots of fun things to find as well. There are lots of fun scenes from several classic children’s stories. I am imagining the fun mommy Adrea will have reading these stories to little Hadley and then showing  her the scenes in her own dollhouse! Hadley’s dollhouse/bookcase also has a replica of her very own nursery in the top left room. The replica includes her crib, bedding, photos in frames on the walls, her special Coffey Creations tree and animal playset, her birdie on a branch shelving, and lots more! To see all of the rooms in more detail, or to see  if you can locate all of the special scenes in Hadley’s doll house, click here. The scenes are from the following children’s stories: Where the Wild Things Are, Madeline in Paris, Lyle Lyle Crocodile, The Princess and the Pea, Eloise in Paris, and Red Riding Hood.

I bought this “runner” from Lowes. It’s actually a 3 ft piece of their indoor/outdoor carpet that comes in 12 ft lengths. It was only about 12$! I had decided that I was going to make a hopscotch/game mat out of it with the ABC’s and as many numbers as I could fit on it. After I had sectioned off the squares and drew in the numbers (kind of making “bubble” letters and numbers that I intended to color in) I thought to myself…”Hmmm….I bet my guys would love to color these in themselves!” And, they have! I also wanted to add animals or items in each square for each of the letters-for A, an apple and an alligator, for D, a dog and David wrote his name in the square, for L, a lion and Leonard wrote his name in that square (backwards!), and so on.

This has turned out to be a great “rainy day” project and the boys have loved coming up with ideas for what to put in the squares, all while enjoying pointing out the letters and numbers that they are coloring in as they go. I’m already imagining the fun we’ll have playing games on it-making them up as we go!

For more extensive directions e-mail me at shannon@coffeycreationsforkids.com . Or would you like your own custom made runner? A gift for a mom with no time on her hands? I can draw all the animals/letters and numbers for you and the child can color them in-or I can do that as well.  You can pick your theme and colors or let me do it for you. Also, check out my Etsy shop!

This fun bright stepstool is unique in many ways-first and foremost the artistry is done by my 6 year old David! He drew Uncle Mel and Aunt Kathy “dreaming” of having a little boy on one side of the step stool, and on the other side he drew Uncle Mel, and Aunt Kathy with little Sam himself! Also on the step stool are a variety of trees, birds, mushrooms, a sun, a rainbow, and their house-all drawn by David himself! Mommy (that’s me) was mainly the colorist-I painted David’s drawings and even consulted him on whether or not to add stripes and dots to the brightly colored color blocked areas. Aunt Kathy wanted bright fun colors for Sam’s step stool-I think we have accomplished that for her!

The steps of the step stool were left mainly solid colors to allow for good visibility of adding in Sam’s actual footprints! Kathy liked the double wide step stool that we made for ourselves with my boys footprints-and both cats paw prints as well! Click here to see our step stool, and here to see little baby Natalie’s Mad about Madeline one as well!

This dollhouse/bookcase for Hadley was so much fun to paint! The top left bedroom is a replica of her actual nursery-I also included the dollhouse! Several of the rooms have paintings from classic children’s story books-can you find them? From Little Red Riding Hood, the Princess and the Pea, Where the Wild Things Are, and many others! What fun it was to create each room and add the little nick knacks. Hadley’s room theme is pinks and greens with little birdies, you can see those themes repeated throughout the entire doll house. The chandelier in the bathroom even has little birdies on it! Look out the hand painted windows in the house-do you spy any birds? Squirrels? Don’t forget to check out the address (plus 1/2), too!

I can imagine the fun baby Hadley will have exploring this dollhouse as she grows!

This little mini piano is a true gem. The sound of the keys remind me of church bells-they just sound wonderful! It is a Jaymar toy piano made probably in the 1950′s. I sanded, primed and painted this piano a soft sand/khaki color and a cream/off white to coordinate with Hampton’s room colors. Hampton has Itsazoo bedding so all different types of animals fit perfectly with his room theme! You may note the little blond haired blue eyed girl and boy riding atop the elephant? That’s Hampton and his little sister! Hampton is three now so learning the alphabet is right around the corner-what a fun way to do it and explore all of the animals on his piano as well.

From P’s and Peacocks, to E’s, Eagles and Elephants, this mini piano is hand painted with lots of fun things to find. Have fun Hampton!

Here are TJ and Virginia with their personalized Coffey Creations! TJ has an antique handmade wooden box, stripped, sanded and restained a dark walnut. I then woodburned his monogram and boy scout insignia on the front. This box is the perfect size to hold all of TJ’s merit badges and even his boy scout book.

Virginia’s doll rocker and cushion are the perfect size for her American Girl Dolls. The rocker is hand painted with lots of roses, some bees, a butterfly, ladybugs, daisies and some snapdragons. The back center top also shows off Virginia’s monogram. The seat cushion is hand embroidered using silk ribbon as well as floss embroidery. The cushion also shows off Virginia’s monogram and is surrounded by a frame of stem stitches in a forest green and pink silk ribbon roses. Pink piping edges the cushion as well. The cushion is tied to the chair with satin ribbons of a coordinating pretty pink.

Merry Christmas TJ and Virginia! XO! ILY! Aunt Shannon

This little baby mini grand piano is the perfect size for baby Sophia! I stripped, then primed and painted this little antique piano a perfect baby ballet pink then hand painted a beautiful scrolled circle accented with white dots around her dotted French script monogram. I also restored and painted the piano’s keys. This piano is the perfect size for a child up to at least several years old to play with, then the perfect size to use as decor in an older child’s room-or even a newborn’s nursery. This little piano is a perfect keepsake that she will cherish forever!
