My mama will be giving me some sewing lessons here soon and I am sooo excited. I've never really had the "yearning for the learning" until this little bundle of joy came along. Now I have all these ideas of things I want to make for my daughter! My mama made alot of clothes for me when I was little and I used to soak in all the compliments I got on my clothes. I was never embarrassed of home-made clothes, I was soo proud that my mama made it! I hope B will be proud too. Most likely she''ll hit that age where everything embarrasses her and I'll have to stop:( I remember the day my mama went to the school counselor because she was concerned that I didn't want to wear bows in my hair any more! Hahahaha!) Anyway, I love my mama for all she is and all she has done and continues to do for me and her lil grandbaby. This is my mama's latest creation- a pillowcase dress...made from an actual pillow case. I loooove it! B looks so sweet and innocent wearing it doesn't she!! Hehe! Thanks Mama!</span><br />

I made this bracelet today and thought it turned out cute. It was a copy of one I saw floating around Pinterest (of course!). I am happy with the finished product, but can't say I'm really into any more jewelry making...it was tedious work for me. Especially when it involves cutting chains and connecting clasps as this one did! Also, I was very surprised at the cost of jewelry making supplies. After having to buy a cutting tool, clasps, embroidery thread, and the silver chain, this ended up costing me $13! Could've bought a nice bracelet for that, but at least I have the tools and supplies to try again if I happen to forget what a pain it was, lol! Anyway, I loved wearing it today, so it's all good!Mirandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08204418185862531671noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410239408285950711.post-77662030588382969082012-06-10T17:00:00.001-07:002012-06-10T17:00:40.580-07:00Flag WreathThanks so much to <a href="http://ssbuffat.blogspot.com/2012/02/out-of-season-in-demand.html" target="_blank">Capital B</a> for this tutorial. I made this Friday and auctioned it off at our family reunion on Saturday. It now belongs to it's proud new owner and my sweet cousin Raegan. So glad it went to someone who appreciates it and loves it! I do think I'll be making another for myself real soon!<br />

Just a few tips that made it easier for me:<br />
<br />
1. I used a rotary cutter on the felt, which saved tons of time because I could cut 2 pieces of felt at a time<br />
2. Straight pins do seem to be the best to attach the felt to the foam wreath. I would recommend using pins with red, white and blue heads because they do sometimes show through. It took at least 250 pins for mine, so be prepared!<br />
3. I used 2 vertical rows of three "flowers" each for the red and white sections. This seems to space out the colors nicely<br />
<br />

Thanks to <a href="http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2012/03/polka-dotted-tiered-planters.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PositivelySplendid+%28Positively+Splendid%29&utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Positively Splendid</a> for this very cute idea! It was another Pinspiration from Pinterest, of course! B napped while I painted the pots, but when she woke up she helped me fill the potting soil. She kept saying "more dirt!!" She learned a new word today... She now runs around the yard pointing out all the "pots, pots!!" Aww, she's such a joy and a blessing! This project turned out really cute and reminded me of lady bugs:) I also think it compliments the black and red porch theme pretty well. Plan on painting my door red soon as well. It is currently dark green. I'll be sharing that when I get around to it:) Toodleooo!<br />

Again, as I always say...Mod Podge Rocks! The little pictures are of B holding the letters DAD. I found out the hard way how difficult it is to get a 19 month old to hold her hand flat to make nice handprints. We had a couple of paint-overs and do-overs, but she absolutely LOVED it! Check out her helping paint the clear coat on! What a crafter just like mama!!</span><br />

I found this cool wall decal for $11 at Ross department store. I have gone crazy about birds this year and had to have this. I decided that I really didn't want to stick it flat to the wall, so I went to Home Depot and had them cut a cheap plywood board into 11 in by 11 in squares, the size of these decal tiles. I simply stuck the decals to the plywood squares and hung up my new art with Command velcro picture hangers. It turned out much better than expected and added a great "outdoor" feel to my foyer. Looks much nicer than if stuck flat to the wall in my opinion. I have a family heirloom park bench that I will be adding to this space soon. Can't wait to sit in my foyer on my park bench and watch the birds!</span><br />

B's 18 month silhouette! Grandmama, Nana and Maw Maw loved it! This is a painted wooden plaque from Micheal's with modpodged scrapbook paper. The silhouette was traced from an actual picture I had taken of B recently. Tadaaa! Easy craft and a big hit for the mamas and grandmamas!</span><br />

Finally finished! I have to say, it turned out beautiful! Be forewarned...this is a time consuming and meticulous project, but well worth the results. I borrowed the idea from <a href="http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2012/01/30/the-coffee-filter-wreath/" target="_blank">Lovely Crafty Home</a>. Thanks for a great tutorial!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I started by coloring the coffee filters in old empty ice cream buckets of different diluted paint colors, most of which were a mixture of different colors till I got what I liked. I used about a 1/2 inch of water and mixed in my paint colors so that I could color several filters at a time. The cream colored filters were colored with brewed tea. I then spread my coffee filters out on an old blanket to dry. <a href="http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2012/01/30/the-coffee-filter-wreath/" target="_blank">Lovely Crafty Home</a> hung hers on a line to dry and I think that would have probably worked better for me if I had a place to do it.</span><br />

So, most of my blog posts will probably come out all in one day like this to catch up on all things I've been wanting to post but have been too busy to do so. I really wanted to use this blog to help me keep up with my Pinterest projects and to share them with others to prove that fun crafts can be done by those of us common folk with schedules and lives and less than perfect creative ability. I have become absolutely addicted to Pinterest since I found it. I think because I have needed some stress relief and creating really makes me feel good right now! Most of what you see here that I have created will not be original. This is not a "how-to" or tutorial blog. These projects are direct copies of others found on Pinterest. I will try to link up the tutorials for each project if they are available to give credit where credit is due. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here's one of our latest favorites. The Hanging Book Display. We love it because it can be put at toddler level and allows kids to see the front of books so they recognize them easier. This makes more sense as a book display for toddlers because they can't read titles on spines yet. Here is our creation with contributions and help from grandmama:)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This idea was borrowed from </span><a href="http://pennycarnival.typepad.com/penny_carnival/2009/02/tutorial-hanging-book-display.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Penny Carnival</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I pretty much followed her steps, but discovered that I didn't have to double my fabric because it was heavy duty enough as is. So I ended up with extra fabric. This is not a problem because I will be making B a cute dress from it soon, that post to come later;) These are the supplies we used:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Piece of thick fabric 23 inches x 37 inches (You will need only 2/3 yard (note: you will need about 48 inches width for the 4 ft dowel, I used a 3 ft dowel)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Two 36 in wooden dowels, 5/8 in round</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Two double curtain rod brackets. I could only find these at Lowes- $5 each (most expensive part of the project)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">B has loved her book sling! We plan on making another for the playroom soon! </span>Mirandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08204418185862531671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410239408285950711.post-92054793895777947892012-04-21T08:31:00.000-07:002012-04-21T08:31:19.414-07:00Potty Parties!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So we have made the decision to go ahead with potty training our almost 18 month old sweetheart (jaw drop!) But, trust me, I always said when my child starts telling me she needs a diaper change, it would be time. (Of course its all about communication in a house with a speech therapist, lol!) Sure enough, B has been telling us for a few weeks now, "booboo" accompanied by a point to the rear end (cuteness!). So mama went out and got the potty at the Wally World. As we are strolling around the baby department with B and her potty in the cart, B gets the attention of a customer with her usual friendly "Hey!" The woman gives her a few sweet compliments then states to me, "Are you potty training her?" I smile politely, but I'm thinking to myself "No, the potty is for me, I have decided I need a miniature pink throne to do my business!" I knew her thoughts behind that question- "That baby is way too young for potty training." Well I know I am a first-time mama, but I know my baby and I had no doubt she would be pottying like a pro in no time! Afterall, back in the day when stay-at-home mamas were training my generation, babies were usually trained by age 2. So, after about 3 or four days of talking about how booboos go in the potty and following mama and daddy and grandmama and nana to the bathroom every trip, B boo booed in her potty! She was so very proud of herself and we made an ordeal out of watching the boo boos go bye-bye when they were flushed (I know, the joys of being a kid!! Even poop is entertaining!) I am excited to say that B has continued interest in the potty and had a second potty triumph with her daddy yesterday. I love this story so much that it inspired me to write this whole silly potty post to begin with. It just reminds me again that B has an awesome daddy and her relationship with him is such a special one! So the story goes that B begins to announce that she has to "boo boo" shortly after arriving at daddy's house. Daddy has not had a chance to go out and get a training potty for B as we have just made the decision to go forth with the plan. So, being the good daddy that he is, he grabbed her up and put her on the big toilet and proceeded to hold her there while she laid her head on his shoulder and they shared a father-daughter poopy experience!! Hahahaha! I only wish I had a picture to capture this sweetness!</span><br />

I am up creating a blog because I need one more thing on my "To Do" list. For Real Dawg! But hey, it's fun and I am a childless mama tonight as my baby is "snug as a bug" with her daddy tonight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, I just have no idea about this blog thing yet, but just came across this picture I took of my 17 month-old baby girl yesterday. It makes me laugh cause it reminds me that I am a good mama, dog-gone-it! This was my very entertaining toddler toy invention meant to occupy little B so I could cook our yummy dinner. It's a dinner roll...with a spaghetti noodle stuck in it...and fruit loops for stacking...Genius right! Well B thought so until she ate up all the fruit loopies and commenced to yelling "More! More!" Ohh how I love being a mama!</span><br />
