Project Notebook April

25 Mar

I would love to say that Spring is in the air, but alas… there is a lot of snow on the ground with more falling down. Sigh…. I am Buffalo born and usually don’t mind winter’s long stay, but this year I NEED to see some sunshine and green. So here is my project notebook since I apparently need to make my own green… Enjoy!

projectsAren’t they the perfect April projects? Be sure to check out my Pinterest boards for more Spring crafts, recipes, outfits, and ideas!

I love these cute and giveable Easter Egg Terrariums!

I’ve been itching to make a new bag….

Almost done wrapping my wreath with yarn like this one.

I love little houses… these would be cheerful colors like yellow and aqua!

Everyone needs a little birds nest to wear in Spring!

 

March Madness

18 Mar

IMG_2851Ah March! Aka Cleveland’s Bi-Polar Month. One day is can be sunny and 70 and then tomorrow there are freezing rain advisories with snow falling down. Yesterday it was all of 34°F outside, not counting the windchill, so we decided to forgo going to the parade. I’m just not willing to freeze my butt off without being drunk! Instead we donned our traditional Old Navy shirts, ate our traditional rainbow pancake breakfast, painted faces, and ventured to a friend’s house for crafting and dinner. A perfect St. Patrick’s Day celebration in my opinion!

It is hard to believe that April and Easter are already upon us. I have been scouring Pinterest for some new Easter basket stuffers, recipes, and craft ideas for eggs. I don’t really like it that Easter is so close to St. Patrick’s Day this year, there’s no stretch in between shamrocks and rainbows to bunnies and eggs.

Anyhow, here are some links that might be worth a glance- Enjoy!!

Please please please sign this petition! Rape Culture is not excusable and a reputable news station like CNN should realize that the victim of the rape is the one who everyone should be sympathizing with, not her attackers. When you victimize the attackers, justice is not served.

This recipe sounds absolutely lovely and refreshing… I adore coconut milk…

I am itching to do this, I need some green in the house asap!

I am making this wreath for my door, complete with the origami cranes for good luck.

Each of my girls will be getting one of these in her Easter Basket, although I think I may make it pillow sized…

This DIY recipe for BB Cream looks pretty easy!

And finally I leave you with this little gem…

I LOVE Duck Dynasty… and yes, I am one of the yuppie city girls Phil is always going on about, lol!

 

A Year of Pinterest

It seems that life didn’t really exist before Pinterest. Looking through all my photos, many of them are of projects that I did from Pinterest, recipes, crafts, even outfit ideas. So I wanted to share my top 10 favorite Pinterest projects of the year. I’m pinning every day and am already looking forward to the Spring when I can start a new garden, break out the sunny clothes, and decorate the house. =) It was a very productive year thanks to Pinterest, that’s for sure. What about you? Did you just pin it and forget it or do you tend to actually do a lot of your pins? Please share!

Ok So I Suck…

3 Dec

Well, not actually suck… but two blog posts in November was pretty pitiful.

In my defense my life has been kinda nuts as of late- 12 dance classes a week to plan for, homeschooling, co-op, hubby’s work schedule, and much more. We had to put our sweet kitty Bo to sleep due to some extreme kidney/urinary issues, we had Thanksgiving and all that it entails, our elf Vicky came back and has been causing havoc…. lol… oh and let’s not forget my wonderful Etsy store has been hopping. Is everyone’s life this crazy or just mine? =)

Vicky decided to take a little bath with the girls in the sink… with marshmallows!

I have been on an ornament kick since we discovered that a good number of our ornaments had broken last year when the tree fell over (thanks to a rambunctious baby Cole!). So far we have made clay ornaments, cinnamon applesauce ones, and these super easy and cute Eye Spy ornaments. I ordered the trinkets from this store on Etsy, used Epsom salt as a snow, and voila!

Blue and silver themed Eye Spy ornament

I have had lots of really cool tutorials, articles, and such to share with you all lately though so here is a little list… more tomorrow as I have a roundup of awesome gifts for awesome girls who aren’t so “princessesy”!

* I love this little advent calendar idea… and here are 10 more ideas that are super cute!

* As a fan of fairies, my middle girl would love her own little fairy bedroom I think.

* I really want to make this for my door…. I adore citrus colors and smells!
