Here is a project I’ve been wanting to share for quite a while, but I had to wait until the package was delivered so as not to ruin the surprise! I wanted to make matching dresses for our cousin Lindsay’s two little girls. So I headed to the Goodwill Clearance Center and picked up this…
The other day I was having one of those non-stop-crazy mama days. You know the type. So when I finally got both kids to fall asleep around 9:00, I decided I needed to ignore the messy house and take some time to sew a little something. I decided to *GASP* follow a pattern! Now, I’m…
I made these little frogs for a couple of sweet kids as Christmas presents this year. Of course, I didn’t actually send them until this past week… I hope they love them though! I only snapped a couple of pictures while we were packing them up. Juniper was sad to see them go. I’m linking…
I’m the type of person who can’t have things the same way for too long. If we haven’t moved for a while I get this nervous itch and start rearranging furniture. (It drives my husband just a little crazy.) That said, I’ve started playing around with a little bloggy redesign. You can expect quite a…
I posted earlier about the current Craft Hope projects going on. I’ve got the blankets and bracelets all packed up and ready to mail. Now all I have to do is head to the post office and mail them. Which, apparently, is a lot harder than it sounds. I have a small pile of packages…
I happen to really like my refrigerator. It’s like a big magnetic scrap book. I like it so much that I just decided to randomly take photos of it at 1:00 in the morning. Is that weird? Maybe. But it’s late and I’m putting off going to bed because I know the second I fall…
Craft Hope is probably my favorite thing. It’s so nice to be able to do something meaningful with my creative talents. Right now they have two projects going on. They are collecting bracelets for orphans in Russia and blankets for tornado survivors. We have been having a little too much fun around here making bracelets…
1. I have recently become quite obsessed with Pinterest. Holy creative inspiration, Batman! I’ve found so many great recipes and tutorials and home decorating ideas. I love it. (image source) 2. Someday, when we finally plant that money tree in the back yard, I WILL OWN these old school Ninja Turtle cereal bowls. They’ll have…
I hope your day is filled with sunshine and watermelon! We had a lovely picnic lunch at the park today and now we are home relaxing while the kiddos nap. I’m hoping to get some creative projects finished up today, and I’m planning some big changes around here. I’ll go into more detail about that…
I have been baking up a storm this month! First, I made this mini-cake for Mother’s Day. Then this week I baked an awesome rainbow cake for a fundraiser cake auction and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday cake for a friend. The rainbow cake was fun! Here it is at the cake auction with the…
