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[...]
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[...]
Hey all! It's been a few weeks since my last post - the holidays had me hopping! Now that things have settled down a bit I hope I can post on a consistent schedule! A couple of months ago my husband picked up a second trash can specifically for recycling so that we could stop stacking it on the counter. That was an awesome idea and I was super excited because he was[...]
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[...]
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[...]
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[...]
It's that time of year again, the annual NAACP Image Awards Viewing Party. I found the perfect color fabric - a nod to the 2015 Pantone color of the year - and a Vogue vintage pattern (originally printed circa 1957) that I liked. I made the dress over three and a half evenings. As you can tell by the title something went wrong...Well, I took two of my children to their well child check ups[...]
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[...]
It has been a while so I figured I'd better catch you all up on what's been going on in my world! I made quite a few handmade gifts for Christmas, but in my haste I forgot to take pictures of many of them! Arrggh! However, I did take pictures of these super cute bags that I made for my secret santa and for my child's teacher. They were both super easy to make with my Cricut Explore (i[...]
Sooo, I am doing this blogpost from my ipad and I can't find the stupid registered trademark symbol so I won't type the name of the candy bar. However, I can tell you that it s a copycat version of a candy bar whose name means the same as a "small laugh" :). I got the recipe from pintrest which was actually a link to a sugar manufacturer's website (hint: if you haven't gues[...]
