We've been crafting like crazy over here! The boys and I made these adorable Valentine's Day decorations that are sort of a cross between a windsock and a mobile. They were pretty easy enough to make and I even had everything on hand to make them!
I just LOVE wreaths, especially for holidays, but I don't really like paying so much for them. I've been making my own and I'm pretty happy with the results!
The boys wanted to make Grandma and Grandpa something special for Valentine's Day this year. We decided to make a handprint heart picture for them to hang somewhere in their house.
"Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams all around a pug-nosed dream."
I have a new favorite thing! I have used these curtain rings with clips in several different ways now, and I just HAVE to share it with you.
I have said many times that I think I'm happiest when I'm creating something. This could be sewing, crocheting, coloring, painting, whatever. One of my newest loves is painting. I'm not very good at it, but I just love doing it. I recently decided that I'm going to invest a little more in my love of painting and try to do it right. There's a few things you need to paint like a pro, especially if you're using oil based paints, which I have started to do.
We've been cookie crazy over here. No, not eating them, although the boys have been devouring their share of cookies for sure, but decorating them! After a cookie decorating party we hosted at church for our preschool/kindergarten kiddos, Froot Loop wanted to decorate some more cookies for his teachers! We decided to make wreath cookies!
My son's kindergarten class made these ADORABLE poinsettias. I was there helping them put them together and they were a lot of fun and very easy to make... Check out how we did them below:
One of our Thanksgiving traditions we started is to do a "Thankful Tree." It is such a fun project to do as a family and it makes for a striking decoration as well!
There's all sorts of things you can make with handprints! I love handprint art. There's something about preserving the size of those sweet little hands... I look back on Froot Loop and Cocoa Puff's little handprints and I wonder how they ever could have been so small. They're growing up way too fast.
