oh. that face.

Eh. Don’t let that look fool ya. 95% of the time is is given on command or to elicit a smile from one of her parents. Only in the last couple of days has this “stink face” been used in the appropriate context. :) I am sure it will be a lovely part of a...

Playroom Pillow #1 | How to Sew Ruffles

Oh. Ruffles. I think I was raised to love ruffles. Pretty sure I wore them 24/7 as a little girl. & that pretty much hasn’t changed. I am SO happy they are back in style, because I just cannot get enough! I just bought this (but sleeveless & in crisp ivory–& for $30 at TJs)...

baby steps, baking & the styleberry brand journey

The wonder of Christmas…

I. LOVE. CHRISTMAS. Last night’s episode of Glee was pretty much heaven for me. I love the music. the smells. the preparation. the food. the crafts. the decorations. the joy. & this year I am discovering a whole new side of Christmas. No longer is it joyful just for me…this year I get to watch...

on photography | my journey & tips for beginners & beyond

It was somewhere along lonely I-29 on my 300 mile weekly commute from Omaha to South Dakota that I made the decision. I had a great year selling Mirena & earned a bunch of points to use in the Bayer store to buy something nice. After a bit of coaxing from my sister-in law, I...

Hi! Hello! I am Shawna, the founder of Styleberry Blog. This creative corner of the internet has become a learning haven for moms and creatives, offering a warm and encouraging nudge to those who wish to be better and do better, but often don't know where to start. From Decorating to DIY to Diapers and Paleo-ish Dishes, I strive to make the complicated simple and empower women to take action beyond their personal comfort zone. I subscribe to the Shine Theory & so strongly believe that we shine when the women around us shine and mutual support—lifting up instead of tearing down--will always be the culture here. Are you in? I hope so! Beyond the computer, I run Styleberry Creativewhere I work with clients to create low fuss, high function spaces that are pretty and practical in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. I LOVE making a house a home. My own studs out renovation is almost complete and I am now back to working with clients. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you'd like to work together! I hope you’ll join me on this fun new adventure! Xo.
