Right before Jason left for Vegas (like the day before!), I came across the first issue of a magazine called Nuno. I saw it had some great projects in it, so I bought it, downloaded it, and skimmed the amazingly gorgeous photos. I figured the boys and I could do some while daddy was away. [...]

Inspired by the doily pillow tutorial on Smile and Wave, I started scouring thrift stores and craigslist for any little sets of doilies I could find. I HAD to make one. My couch NEEDED it! One of the thrift stores close to our new house had some and I was SO excited! Until I saw the [...] Inspired by the wonderful wooden wall plaque photo display tutorial on One Pearl Button, I made a photo hoop! I did things a bit differently, but it was still a quick and easy project. I used fabric, an embroidery hoop, and hot glue. I’m really diggin’ the Lensbaby. This is a fabric silhouette I made of Nathan’s cute little head, right before Andy was born. I’ve been thinking I need to make one of Andrew soon. I really want an orange one to go with my lime one. Perhaps facing the opposite direction. I’m just torn on whether I [...] Valentine’s Day is less than a week away!

Andrew was napping and before I knew it, I had finished my first sheet of red felt (it made 6) [...] On Saturday evening, Nathan I put together two dozen candy-cane Rudolphs. I remember my mom making these when I was little, so I thought it’d be a cute little party favor for his class. His teacher bought stockings and asked for stocking stuffers, so I bought some stickers, pencils, erasers, and we put these together. [...] [in black & white] He’s playing with the straw from my Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee Jason brought me, this morning. It’s the only way I could get him to sit still. That and obnoxiously singing the ABC’s and Row, Row, Row Your Boat. They came out alright, but I still need practice with this. I used [...] I love it when I get packages in the mail. Yesterday, I got THREE. 2 from paperbackswap.com and one that had something AWESOME-R THAN BOOKS in it. What could that be, you ask!?! YARN. deliciously soft and beautifully GREEN yarn. I think I’m in love, guys. I want to ball it up and use it [...] |
