Yarn Wreath

I made this wreath over the weekend and love how it turned out!  I used this tutorial from Mrs. Priss.

Land of Nod Inspired Floor Cushions

These took me hours because I’m not that good at sewing but they turned out really cute!  I used the tutorial found here.

Birthday Balloon Wreath

This balloon goes up for the month of May for Miss Madylan’s birthday month! It’s huge and I’ve found that it sticks to the front door when it gets hot.  Whoops! Tutorial found here (mine is way bigger than the one shown and took a lot more than the number of balloons listed.)

Spring Wreath

My spring grass wreath inspired by this tutorial. (P.S. I really need to paint my door!)

Pink and Black Animal Print Taggie

I have two new nieces in my life.  They are so sweet!  Here are their taggies from Aunt Brandy!  I used this tutorial over at Joy’s Hope and left off the crinkle and made them a bit bigger at 12X12 instead. (Rylan likes to sleep with his so I don’t want them to be noisy.)

New Pillows!

Okay, so they aren’t new pillows, but they are new pillow cases for the throw pillows in my office.  I found this lovely fabric at Joann’s for 50% off and made the pillows using this tutorial.  They took me longer than 10 minutes, but I got them done!

They even match my cute binder!  (Yes, I’m a dork.)

Valentine’s Wreath

I used this tutorial from The Idea Room.  This is one of my favorite wreaths and was super easy!

Scary Animal Play-Doh Things

I bought Mady this super-cute craft box: My Giant Busy Box from this toy store down the road from our house. It has paper bag puppets, sticker art, crayons, dough, tissue paper art, etc. One of the tissue paper art projects in the box was defective (i.e. not sticky) so I wrote to the company that made it to request a new one. They said they couldn't just provide me with the part that was broken - they sent a whole new box for us to play with! How nice is that? I highly recommend it - it's for ages 2+ (and I'm not just saying that because they gave us free stuff).

Mady really likes the E-I-E-I Dough projects. They provide printed punch-out animal parts and different colors of dough and you can make/decorate the animals. Here she has made a pig-dog (pig head with dog legs, I think there is a horse part mixed in there too.)

Omaha Spring Craft Show

Today, Tish, Noah and I went to the Spring Festival craft show at the Qwest Center in Omaha. We found lots of treasures. We bought Mady and Noah cute backpacks with their names on them. We got some smelly soap and salts. I purchased a wall frame that says “Life Isn’t About Waiting for the Storm to Pass… It’s About Learning to Dance in the Rain!” We also got some nifty magnets. It was a fun day! We can’t wait til the fall when the craft show comes back and we can spend more money. Ha!

P.S. Noah was a very good baby.
