Projects I love

A Pretty Life in the Suburbs showed us the great idea of sewing ribbon to your kitchen towels to prevent them from falling when little fingers use them...I think I need to do this to the hand towel in our bathroom! My kids can't ever seem to get that thing to hang!

Just Hang Another Up made these Adorable Owl Heating pads for her kiddo's! Cute, Cute! My kid's always need a heating pad or ice pack or bandaid for their imaginery boo-boo's, love these for them!

Love these soap bottles from Tea Parties & Baseball Games, what a great teacher, hostess or anything gift!

And finally, Show, Tell, Share made this great reward chart. My kids have a similar one at preschool, where their fish sinks if they are bad. I've threatened them that I'm going to make one at home, because they are so much better behaved at school! But I think a cute one like this just may be necessay to work on their at home manners :)

Projects I love - Valentine's!

Organize and Decorate Everything has some adorable Decorating ideas for your home, this one was my favorite!

Lyndsey's Craft Spot made this fun countdown to Valentine's day, what a fun way to get the kids excited!

She wears Flowers posted a tutorial from In Between Laundry that I find genius. Why have I not thought of this before? using puff paint to turn any sock into a non-slip sock!

Once again I'm loving the Subway Art, especially this one from Morgan Made It

OK, this one isn't Valentine's, but how cute is this Shrek Hat from Little Eme?

There are way too  many cute things out there right now, and not enough time in the day!!

Let's add a few more to my to do list!! I'm sure going to keep busy :)

First, LOVE this subway art of the baby's birth from Life, Crafts and whatever, I want one for my new Baby now!

Sarahndipity made these adorable knit flowers.It makes me really wish I knew how to knit. How cute would these be in hair or attached to the belt of a little dress? LOVE the colors too, aren't they great?

Because I seem to have an obsession with little girl skirts and dresses lately, this one caught my eye at Delilah's Momma. Is it summer yet so I can dress up my little girls?

Projects I love

Over at A Family of Savages I fell in love with this table runner. I have been wanting several for my house, and keeping putting off making them, but this just may have left me inspired to finally make them!

Love this baby Snuggler so much, it makes me want to buy the book she had and make one for my Baby!

YUM, how about these delicious looking mint chocolate chip cupcakes?

Projects I love

And below are a few of this weeks items that are being added to my ever growing "To Do" List!!

I'm in love with this Perfect Little Party Dress from Nug Buns. The big bow is my favorite part! It can be tied in front or back.

How cute are these little snowmen? They came from Keeping it Simple and are adorable! I love that they can be kept up all winter!

Check out this adorable calendar made out of metal from Crafty Girls

I love this "feel" book for little ones, how cute! It is made by 4 leaf Clever. This picture is of my favorite page of hers, although it isn't done yet, I love the ribbons on the lions face!!

Feel free to grab a button on the side!

Projects I love

Here we go with another list of projects I want to make!!

I have been wanting tags for my blankets, and I came across this post today that showed simple and adorable tags I can use to put on my items!! Gabriel's Good Tidings showed two great options.

First are these on grosgrain ribbon that can be sewn on anything!

Or another option is these, that are perfect to add to blankets! I think I'll have to buy the supplies and try a batch myself!



We have a tendency to move around a lot, we are on our 3rd new home in our same town in 6 years! So I love the idea of a growth chart we can bring with us. Paisley Passions made this adorable one!

How cute is this volkswagon bus quilt over at Dirt Cheap Decor?

Projects I love - Christmas Edition

This week there were so many great Christmas items out to look at and daydream about! Here are a few that I want to think about creating for next year being it's too late for me this year!!

First off, here are some adorable and easy ruffled stockings from Rae Gun Ramblings

If I hadn't made family stockings already, I totally would have created these for us! Below are an example of two stockings that I made and sold last year! This December my to do list has included making a stocking for Baby B...but unfortunately for her, it hasn't happened yet! Maybe next year I'll bring my set of stockings up to 5!

How about a use for that old sweater you were thinking of donating to the thrift store?  These sweater Christmas trees are adorable and chic. Find a great and easy tutorial for them at Crafts and Sutch.

How delicious do these snowflake pretzels look? I want to eat about 20 of them right now! If only my daughter would eat pretzels, then I could have an excuse to whip up a quick batch before Christmas...on second thought, maybe I'll make some just for me! There is an easy tutorial on how to make them at Mom Endeavors

Crafts by Amanda made these adorable Santa's Belly cups. What a great center piece!! So cute!

And the last Christmas-y craft I loved this week was Snowflake Soap. Such a great gift for all those parties you are going to, coworkers, or teachers for your kids! Cute and has a purpose :)  Check it out at Suzys Artsy Craftsy Sitcom

Merry Christmas

Projects I love

I love going to linky parties and finding great projects to make, now if I only I could find the time to make them, too!  Here are a few past favorites of mine, next week I'll try to update with a few favorites of mine from the week!!!

I love these bags! I've made some fabric bags in the past that fold up into a pocket, but these are so cute, easy to roll, and are great materials, makes me want to make more! I'm awful at remembering my bags, but maybe I would be better with these gorgeous ones:

Who doesn't love a good scarf? They make any and every outfit look polished and put together. All the ones I have right now are solid color and simple, I saw this ruffle one and fell in love!

One more project on my to do list for the week. My son LOVES Tic-Tac-Toe...how adorable is this felt set, and so perfect for traveling and taking with you places! We go through lots of paper in our house drawing boards out :)



Now, does anyone know how to invent a time machine so I can have enough time to make them?? :)
