I tried uploading pictures

But my computer is slow. Nothing new, but I have quite a few projects I have worked on in the past year. I would love to look back at all of the work I have did, and get ambition to work on all of those holiday gifts that I have planned out. Christmas is creeping up fast, so its a good time to get started. Monday is going to embark a new week, and definite ambition to work on those said projects. That is, if I don't go into labor first. This baby is on his way and he wants OUT.. but he isn't due for a couple of more weeks so I am hoping to squeeze in as much as possible before he arrives. Happy Crafting!

Dollar Store Window Valance

I am not a big sewer. I love glue, its so much easier. But I needed some kind of window dressing for my son's room. He LOVES disney cars. So, what better than to take a simple poster, bought from the dollar store, cut it up and glue it to a curtain rod (also 1.00).. so in essence, the whole project cost my 2.00 total. Can't go wrong there.

Here is what I used to start:


Next, after I cut the poster apart, I mod podged the pieces to the cardboard the poster came on:


Next step, hot glue to a basic curtain rod:



Finished Product, as you can see, its a shared nursery/toddler space so they each have their own window. :D



I am planning on making my Stepdaughter a couple for her room very soon, using tulle for her as well. Pictures soon!

wow, its been a long time

I haven't posted any crafts on here in almost an entire year. I guess thats what happens when you have a toddler, have a job, and move. Now that I am expecting another child in just a couple short weeks, my hands are going to be really full. With that being said, I still have a huge list of projects I want to work on. I plan to post on here regularly again, now that I will be out of work soon I will have the time to actually blog. I recently made window valances for my kids and will be posting them this week. Keep your eyes out for them. Have a lovely day! :D

I finished the advent calendar!

It took some time, but I finally finished. Now I have to stuff them before December 1st!

advent calendar

here are some little advent pockets I am working on, finished product real soon. I got the idea from http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts/2007/11/advent-calendar.html but of course, made it my own. All the felt I got from the dollar store.. actually, less than 2 packs.. so about 1.50 and some embroidery floss. Not too shabby.

Memory Game

I was inspired to do this from homeadebyjill.blogspot.com. Actually, alot of my ideas come from that site. I simply used wooden coasters I picked up from michaels, my cricut, with the paper doll cartrige and some mod podge, and voila, preston has a memory game. This is one of many christmas presents I am making for him. More to come! Thanks Jill, for your inspiration!
