FINALLY! Oh my goodness. This project that has just inched along. I waited & waited to find just the right pieces & I am so glad I did because everything has come together perfectly! I’ll add commentary and all the DIY stuff as we tell the story in pictures (what better way, right?) So, alas,...
We call them BFBs in our family. Big ‘effin bows. & I decided to start making them. Well, not really bows, but those artsy ruffley flowers I love but can’t ever find made ‘just right.’ I sat down one night & started tutorial hunting. My first inspiration was this, and I just had to learn...
what. a. day. The last 24 hours have been crazy. I had grand plans for today and then as swiftly as I put my babe to bed, they all went out the window. I’ll spare the details, but tonight as we put her to bed we asked her what she did last night & she...

Whew! What a busy week–but a really fun one!! Complete with a crafty project that now makes me happy every evening at bath time! One of my goals is to recycle. I am going to try very hard to teach my children the value of re-purposing & what better way to teach this than to...
I’ve got so so much on my plate right now, so this is a quickie! Short & sweet! Don’t let the name scare you. I am about as non-science-fiction-ish as it gets & probably would stop reading if I saw the word Gravatar, but this is worth knowing! I can’t take credit for this info;...
Motherhood has been really good to me. I credit it for being the one and only thing that has helped me let go of some of my perfectionist tendencies. If I have learned anything on this crazy journey, it’s that seeking perfection as a mother is detrimental to all involved. I have loosened up a...
I have a new obsession. It’s a computer program, or application if you are a mac user. App if you are an iPhone-er. I am not sure how much of my life I am going to spend organizing stuff into this program, but I assure you, it is going to be worth it. Best part:...
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.
