    I hope everyone saw this post on Oh My! Handmade ….if not, be sure and check this out..so many great images and artists.

    Feed the Soul is a really neat project. It was started with the notion that during these hard economic times, people should still be able to enjoy art that inspires. (This reminds me of  WPA art..not stylistically or even the same situation but it made me think of WPA murals which I adore..there is one in Hamilton, Texas, by the way!)

    So ANYWAY, various artists have joined forces and put these images up on this site and they are available to print, for free. I love this. 

    Many would be wonderful in a children’s space, really the possiblities are endless. Enjoy!

    The photo below of Serena and Lily’s new crib bedding may give you a severe case of BABY FEVER!  forget the sling, this bedding is divine!

    serena2 (Large)

    …the linen, the applique work, those birds..i always love how they style their rooms (I mean really, those origami birds hanging from the branch!)..the even have a book now apparently..and not just baby things, they have bedding for all bed sizes (the patterns, oh the pattern!) and adorable play room things etc, even paint …..their new catalog is dangerous!

    and no, they don’t pay me to say these things but they should!;

    Good morning! I dont know about you, but I have a love hate relationship with Monday. I love the clean slate but some mondays I end up just feeling tired and overwhelmed.


    This is a good Monday @ Chez Mathis….I hope it is for you too.


    OK so on with the Monday morning chat. Did you hear the buzz about THIS MOVIE and have you received your Traditional Home yet???? I laughed so hard because I was out running errands on Saturday and I saw the new TH and I nearly bought it right there at the expensive newstand price because (a) I could not remember if I renewed my subscription? and (B) I was dying to read about this new Nancy Meyers’s film. SO I get home and start checking my blogs and who has already written a thesis on the film and the interiors..YEP..Joni @ Cote de Texas. She is on the ball! Go read here, i am not even going to comment about it any more (until i see it) BUT I will just say I am not overly excited about seeing my favorite actress of all time Meryl Streep (Out of Africa totally influenced my design aesthetic..even more than Somethings Gotta Give, sorry Joni;;) in bed with Alec Baldwin…he is creepy (even on Thomas the tank videos) i am sorry to be negative and if his mother is reading this blog I apologize (I am sure he was a precious baby) but I just really dont feel good about seeing them together. Hopefully the kitchen will make the uncomfortable scenes worthwhile. (just check that cute little linen or burlap curtain in the left corner)


    AND #2 on monday morning chat list (see how involved this gets, probably why some mondays i dont get much done)..I have pictures to share of Baby Girl Spencer.


    isnt she adorable?? Remember she has FOUR brothers. wow!


    oh and she sent me a text..she loves the toile drapes!; She really enjoys having a feminine space where she can get away from all of those rowdy boys.;;


    please keep her in your prayers, she is having a little health issue, it is not terribly serious but her parents are hoping it will be resolved soon and as easily as possible. WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!

    Ok last on the list (I have more but I need to stop and feed my child) I need to talk about the blog. Things are changing here at HMI, you will see some changes in ads and formats and I am giving lots of thought and prayer to content and other areas as well. I may even put up a little poll soon to see what topics you are interested in etc… so watch the sidebar and please leave comments. I know everyone is busy and dont expect everyone to leave comments each and every time but blogging is a lot of work (and that is ok because it is a part of my little business) BUT feedback is so encouraging.

    Yall have a great Monday~ let me know what you have going on…

    …. THIS on Baby girl spencer’s wall above her bed…it is perfect..


    Good job Kim!
    I am sure Mama Spencer will send us an updated picture in all of her spare time;;

    And fyi about Kim @ SmallWords..she is not currently taking orders so you cant even get artwork from her right now (does that make Henry’s go up in value??? ha!) BUT yall need to bookmark her in your faves and watch for when she reopens orders..she is worth the wait and we def want to keep track of what she is doing. She is very talented AND an awesome mother..good luck with EVERYTHING kim..family and business..you are awesome! God bless you!

    AND a note about sources.. Here at Holly Mathis Interiors we are often interrupted during the highly technical and extremely professional blogging process..this means sometimes while on the sofa with kids watching Noggin the power on the netbook runs out, or someone needs help with a potty issue..many posts never get saved or finished..so really yall..if i dont link something (or proofread, spelling mistakes have gotten worse with the new smaller keyboard on my netbook, i know it is annoying, it annoys me too but this blog is either not perfect or doesnt exist) so give me a break please..i mean really, it is a wonder any posts ever get “published” at all. So if you dont see a link (and if it is highlighted brown, that means it is a LINK and you simply have to click on it) I am not annoyed but i get a lot of email asking me for links..sometimes the links are there and the person did not click on the word, sometimes i forgot or was too lazy to link..sometimes all it would take is for the reader to google the item;; THIS DOES NOT MEAN I DONT LIKE YOUR EMAILS..please feel free to email and ask about paint colors or sources when i dont list and they are things you simply dont have enough info to google yourself..usually i meant to provide the information but just got distracted or forgot..Some of my blog readers think i need to stop apologizing..they are sweet and i appreciate the sentiment but i also want this blog to be useful thus the explanation..I appreciate your ongoing patience with this new mama. yall are awesome.

    And finally the source on the pink silhouette over the crib below (it was source i believe in the initial polyvore mood board but you have to click on the polyvore board in order to get to the sources..let me know if that does not work for you..the way polyvore organizes souces is one of the things i love about that tool! awesome) anyway..i have mentioned Sarah + Abraham before but again, they are awesome..love her work.
