Ohmylanta!!

Psst. Lovelies, I have recently become an addict.  I was warned. I was warned that this addiction is worse than crack, but I took it on. I took it on and now I am full fledged addicted to....




Pinterest. OMG!!! Where has this site been all my life? It is hands down, the best.site.evarrrrrrr!!!! Projects and tutorials and funny stuff, oh my! The website is basically a snapshot of internet stuff that you like.  So you 'pin' them on your theme boards and then your pins (interests) are shared.  You can follow friends, like others' pins and so forth.  All I can say is wow. Yay! Wow.  Check the site.  YOu've been warned.  Follow me into the depths of craftiness and DIY home decor.  You will not regret it.  Or maybe you will.....

Remember the wave of creativity/craftiness?

Well, after months of neglecting all things creative and useful, I made these! I used a pattern bought on Etsy.

Sorry about the fuzzy pics! They were taken with my less than stellar cell phone camera.  :/

wordless thursday.

my hubby's DIY 'build a bear.'  He left me to do the face.  It's for S3 and she loves it!

Handmade goodness!

Hello lovelies, I woke up this morning to wonderful rainy weather and a list of errande to run.  Unfortunately S2 is sick, so we decided to scrap the outing. What to do, what to dooooooo..... Well, I bought patterns on Etsy about 3 weeks ago and I have some fabric and this is what transpired about 2.5 hours later!
It's a pinafore from Heidi and Finn.

Isn't it delightful? S3 loves it! Onto a skirt for her big sister- a little something to help her feel better. ;)

Do you remember.....

At the verrrrry beginning of this blog when I told you that my creativity comes in spurts? Well, here's the result of the latest need to be creative;
Onesies done with stencils from the book "Stencil 101" by Eric Roth of Stencil1. The book features 25 pages that tear out so you don't have to print, cut, etc just to get a decent stencil! Plus instructions and pages of ideas.  Cool eh?  

Annnnnnnnnnnd I made some burp cloths and wash cloths with some fabric that I have been hanging onto.  I bought the flannel and chenille (with coupons!) and went to town! So we have a layer of cotton, then flannel then chenille.  Very soft and very absorbent.  What do you think?  ;)
