Projects

My Baby, Easton is turning 2 on Friday!!! I can't believe she is going to be two!! Times goes by way toooooooo fast. When you ask her how old she is going to be, she says "four" so apparently she wants to skip 2 and 3 and go right to four. If I could I would stop time and keep both my girls at this age. Don't we all want to do this.... maybe some day. But since I cant stop time, at the moment, how about some projects that I will be doing this week......

1. some sort of picture wreath to show off how cute the birthday girl is

2. cut down tree branches for my Halloween tree

3. I'm not going to have a number 3, 2 projects for me is penalty, since I have a small b-day party to plan.

so until I start them..... here is a picture of Easton and if i get off the computer i can start one of them, and have some pictures for you.

she too.....is waiting for some pictures!!

 

Happy Weekend!

some Fall cuteness

My girls needed some new jackets for the fall, even thought it hasn't been fall like weather here, but trust me its coming.  This wonderful summer weather, will soon come to an end.   I was browsing the selections at Walmart and I came across these snuggly, warm, fuzzy jackets and I loved them, but they needed something............so I added some cuteness!

 

 I cut a flower out with my cricut and then applied it on the back of the sweat shirts, added three circles on top of the flower and then sewed around the flower and the circles.

For the front I gathered a 1" stripe of fabric and added some more circles.

 aren't they just adorable???  Not to mention, the two girls wearing them.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Happy Birthday Shane!

Our Little friend Shane turned 3 the other day, so we made him his very own cookie jar to go along with his other presents.  I have a ton of jars left over from my pin cushion obsession, that you can see here and here.  We filled the jar with chocolate animal crackers and made a cute little tag with my cricut.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE!!

Halloween House: Finished

Guess what..... I finished it, that's right, and I'm even done waaaaayyyyyy, before I thought I would be.  So are you ready to see some pictures?

I love the way it turned out!!  When I was putting all the paper on it, I did the cool mod podge trick, where you get your paper wet and then put it on the surface.  You will be surprised on how easy this makes it when you are trying to get it perfect and I find that I get no bubbles or wrinkles after it is completely dry.  You can go here  and here to see how it all began.

Chalk Board Door

I have always wanted to paint my pantry door with chalkboard paint, so the other day while I was waiting for Easton to wake up from her nap so that we could go to the grocery store I started browsing the Internet for some ideas and WA-LA, there are a TON of ideas out there.  So instead of going to the grocery store we went to home depot and got some of this:

The kind man at Home Depot told me everything that I needed, and then my kind husband told me everything that I didn't need....(no primer needed, but I did it anyways)

here is my before ugly brown door.....

here is my two coats of primer that I didn't need

are you ready for the after....here it is.....

....don't you just love it!

Lillie does, even when I tell her its time for bed.

yes, I don't have my door knob on there, and that's because I'm going to get one of these beauties from my favorite store, Anthropologie..

I think I want the green one.

I also made some of these, waiting for the paint to dry.

Thanks for looking!
