Hanging Fabric Ball

This is so cute and I think would be cute in a nursery. Easy, cheap, quick. My type of project!

Love is in the Air...

Love in creeping in and I love it! January is a bleek month, so to get me happy I already put up my Valentine's Day decor. I've had fun making new things too. As I finish more projects I will update this post, so check back for more lovey-dovey things.
I hope you enjoy this walk through my house...

I'll start with my pride and joy for this year. I love how this glitter/burlap banner came out. As many of you know, burlap is all the rage right now. I like it, espeically for banners, but I don't love it. It's too stinky, but I guess that's what you get for $2-3 a yard! :)

I love the roughness of the burlap and twine with the fanciness of the glitter. I think it's a good balance.

I made it by using my cricut to cut out a stencil out of freezer paper. Then, after ironing it on the burlap I used white glue and spread it on the stencil instead of paint. Then I sprinkled it with glitter. Waited a minute and then ripped my stencil off. Pretty simple, right?!

Here's some made the same way, just using paint.


I got these letters at a garage sale for $.25 forever ago. They were a pinkish-red with a a nasty wook rose on them. I rip the rose off and mod podged them (one of my first attempts). I still hated them. Well, this year I am definately into glitter, so I thought...

Glitter makes everything better! I love the rough edges with it. Much improved don't ya think?!

Looks pretty good altogether I think!

I've seen words framed before....so I got thinking. I have a frame, I have some things....and this is what I came up with. I love it! and best of all it was FREE!


Sometimes I just buy things because they're cheap, or on sale, or just because they're cute. I don't always have a plan for them. This works most of the time, like these for example. I loved them and so I decided to string them on my curtain rod. I LOVE them. You could make your own for cheap, I just really liked the metal look.


I have loved stringing something around my lamp for each holiday. I think it's cute. For Christmas I had Holly there.












I found these gems at WalMart last year for $.50. I love them. I don't know if they are made to be door hangers, but that's what I took them for! :)

Snowman from a Lightbulb

SOOOOOO CUTE! I will be making some of these.

This is cute. You can use any fabrics for color, style....I like the idea and will try it in my colors.
Here's where the original idea came from.

What a cute idea.

Crafty Weekend

I crafted like crazy and here are some of the results. I am very very happy with them.
I love how many Halloween tree turned out so much....

that I had to make one for my niece!

These metalic pumpkins turned out really well. I pull a little of my black jewelry on them for a little sparkle.

My mom showed me this from a magazine. She made a pattern and so I of course needed one too.

The Boo banner was so cute...

that I had to make an Eek banner too.

My Mom

My mom is the best. She came into town this weekend and we crafted like a bunch of crazy women! It was the best. Everything was out and all over the place but it was so productive!
My mom has these fun binders she keeps with all of her favorite little seasonal crafts and treats. Here are some of my favorites I got from her. We made some of these and loved them.
We had a great October dinner of...
worm burgers

and hand in our potato salad

and "thing" treats!

These are some of the goodies I need to remember. Go cute and creative and fun.





I saw these here and love them. The spiders are trix cereal with frosting legs!
