Fall Door Wreath with Cricut

Happy Fall Ya’ll! This cute little wreath was so fun to make. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of the step by step process so this will be a quick post today. To make up for it, I am including a freebie (Yay), so be sure to read all the way to the end. To make this project you will need the following supplies: 1. Wooden Round - You can typically find these at any[...]

Handmade Bow Tie

My son came home for holiday break and wanted to get crafty.  While we were walking through Hobby Lobby he turned and asked, "Can you make bow ties?".  I said, "I've never made one before, but it can't be that hard".  So he raided the remnant bin and found two different fabrics that he liked.  I've listed out most of the steps that we took to get to the finished bow tie[...]

Last minute, Easy, Thanksgiving Decoration!

If you are a Cricut user I've got a super quick (and easy) project to personalize your Thanksgiving table.  I used Cricut Faux Leather, but you can use whatever you want - cardstock, real leather, acetate, etc. If you look in design space and search for "napkin ring" it will pull up lots of options.  I chose the plain circle because I wanted to add additional things to the rin[...]

Arkansas Fall Painted Wood Sign

I love browsing the internet for new projects.  Lately I have seen lots of painted wood signs that signal the beginning of the Fall season.  I thought about what fall meant to me and my family and then created a sign that reflected why we love this time of year.  I did my best to take pictures of the various steps in the process so that you can see how I got from the plain[...]

Heat Transfer Vinyl Tshirts (w/Cricut Explore)

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!?? I know we are more than a month away, but football camp and 7 on 7 season is here. What better way to support our son/brother than to sport his school colors/player's number? These only took a couple of hours using the Rhinestone Wizard, my Cricut and my handy dandy heat press (I'm so glad I have this -- it really speeds up the process). However, you cou[...]

Spicy Tomato Soup (In my DASH blender!)

It's been a while since I've made a post...sorry! While I have the best of intentions life tends to get in the way. Anyhoo, while outside today I noticed that I had several red tomatoes that needed to be picked and when I came inside of the house realized that my cherry tomatoes needed picking as well (I guess I have been out of it lately)! Since the tomatoes were a bit over-ripe I decided[...]

Homemade Brown Sugar

A couple of weeks ago I was making pancake syrup for some really sweet college kids and realized that I didn't have enough brown sugar to make as much as I wanted them to have. I went ahead and gave them partial bottles and promised them a refill once their bottles were empty. In the meantime I started thinking...there has to be a way to make brown sugar from home. After a few minutes[...]

Fun With Freezer Paper

I've been on a T-shirt making kick lately. I think its because it's a craft that almost anyone can do. When my nieces and nephew were visiting we decided to do freezer paper T-shirts. I asked them and my  kids what they wanted on their t-shirts. I designed the layout in Cricut design space and cut out the freezer paper with my Cricut Explore (remember to put the freezer paper shiny[...]

Dino-Mite T-shirts!

My youngest daughter's daycare does theme days each Wednesday. This week the theme was dinosaurs. I was super excited because Claire didn't have anything dinosaur themed so I knew craft time was coming! Now, for those who know me you know I am a procrastinator, but this time I vowed to do better. I designed the layout in Cricut design space and cut the design out of heat transfer vinyl o[...]
