Kinda Obsessed

I think pinterest is a black whole...  I spent hours looking at stuff.  I can't help it.  Everything is so easy to find and lots of things are easy to make.  Things I never would have thought of.

Ignore the bad quality photos, but I made some vest today and just had to share.  The best part about them is no sewing!  http://wobisobi.blogspot.ca/2011/05/t-vest-re-styled.html here is where I found the tutorial.  She's had very detailed; with pictures; tutorials.  Love them.  going to have to try some of the other stuff.

Another Pinterest Post

I came across this http://alphamom.com/family-fun/crafts/milk-jug-decorative-window-crafts/ and thought that is super cute and the kids will love it.  The only thing is waiting for the milk jugs to be empty! 
So here is what the kids came up with.

 Our milk jugs have a circle on the longest sides.  So we made faces with them

 I know the window looks dirty, but it's really a plant behind it!

Look what Payton came up with on her own.  It's the sun.  She's so creative.


All you need is
-milk jugs, cut (try to get as much surface space as possible)
-sharpies (markers)
-beads
-1 punch hole punch
-wire for the butterflies body
-string or suction cups (I couldn't find the suction cups, so I taped them)
-your imagination!

Crafty- crafty-crafy.

My girls and I have making bracelets and rings and all kinda things this week.  Since I bought a hot glue gun we might as well use it!


This necklace I made, it's crazy long and you can wear it as a bracelet as well.

 two rings... I love toes!  but I can't stand store bought ones cause they keep turning over.  I've had this ones on since saturday and I've had not problems with them.

my ankle bracelet.  I really like the white in there, I think it just really makes it look nice.

I'll have to get pictures of the girls wearing their stuff and post them.  It's fun to watch them come up with some great ideas.  Even Nathan made a bracelet.

I got the beads and the elastic at the dollar store.  I had to get the bracelet connectors at walmart.  Super easy to make!

So I have been going on Pinterest lately.  Thanks to another blog that I read (thanks Pam!).  I thought lets check this out and see what it's all about.  I have a bunch of boards and pins, there is alot there I think; I'll do that with the kids.  Yellow is one of my favorite colors and I came across this sunflower http://thecreativeimperative.blogspot.ca/2011/07/sunflowery-wreath.html and thought well I can do that.  I did a few things different.  I don't think I made the leaves big enough and I filled in some empty spaces with cut triangles.  I did not fill the center with coffee beans only because I don't have any.  But I really like the way it turned out, and it makes my yucky brown door nice and bright.

what you need for this project

- yellow paper plate

-yellow, orange and brown felt

-hot glue gun ( I got mine at the dollar store)

-string

I think it's super cheery and it makes me smile when I see it.

I wonder what else I can find on pinterest?
