My version

So here it is. Wish i would have used darker letters but oh well another lesson learned. I'm pretty happy with it. I hot glued the ribbion onto the back for hanging.

Lazy

Yup i'm feeling lazy! i have been working on the felt playhouse this week. I think it will be a work in progress for a long while. Today i wanted to show you this really cool Please remove your shoes sign from How does she....
I made my own with the pic from my header. I will try and get a pic of mine to post at some point this weekend. Like i said i'm feeling Lazy!
I have yard work to do today, house cleaning, errands etc. not to mention the never ending packing for 2 adults and a toddler. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Shamrock tree

Nothing very creative to see here. Just a bunch of foam shamrocks glued to skewers and stuck in a pot of sand. It makes the daycare kids happy so it makes me happy:)

The banner is complete

I added some purple ribbon to the top, felt letters and tiny buttons that came off of Jada's onesies. I will iron the banner before use on a low setting
see This post to see how I made it from baby onesies

Onesie Birthday Banner

For almost a year now i have been trying to figure out a way to preserve time. My baby is growing up way too fast and this weekend she will be 18 months. Today i was looking at someones blog that showed a birthday banner. Now i can't find the blog but it got me thinking. First i thought wow the colors in that banner are so pretty. Then i thought hey Jada has a shirt that looks like one of the flags. I went and got the box of newly outgrown clothing and found a few onesies that had pretty patterns. I then found a cardboard box in the recycleing and cut out a triangle. I then cut the onesies up the seam and traced and cut out the triangles. I did the same with some old pillow cases for the backs of the triangles. I have so many extra pillow cases I have a shelf dedicated to them! So then i sewed them together. THEN i had a problem......My pinking shears would barely open because they are from dinosaur times! So i went out and bought a new pair and boy what a difference. My new best friend! So then i cut around the triangles. Next and lastly was to attach the binding to the top and done!!! so pretty. I'm sure all you measuring kind of people would make perfect triangles and straight seams. Like i said many times before I'm not that king of girl lol
So now I'm wondering if i should stencil out the letters with paint or should i use felt or fabric?

St.Patrick's Day t-shirt

I did this over the weekend. I have such a sinus headache i don't think I will be doing any crafting today. To make the t-shirt print i used the letters from my cricut and i used a shamrock sponge from the dollar store. It's not the best t-shirt out there for St.Patrick's day but you only Wear it once a year right?

Booo it's sunday:(

Back to work tomorrow! However, CANADA WON THE GOLD!!!!!!! YEHAWWWWWW.
Anyway i said i wasn't going to do any crafts this weekend but guess what?? i did! A few actually but they aren't all finished. My sister Kat came over and put the roof on the felt play house for me. Looks a ton better. Will look even better when i put the front on. I decided to be part of the Felt House Along found here: http://firefliesandjellybeans.blogspot.com/2010/02/felt-house-along-week-1-planning-and.html
I haven't signed up yet but will figure that out soon enough. I think i will go at my own pace but get inspiration from the group.
So i was super miffed at the knock off mod podge i bought at a popular craft store here in town. I made some wood salt and pepper shakers and to finish them off i put a coat of this stuff on. Low and behold it streaked white all over a few of my projects not just the salt shakers. So i had to repaint the shakers and start over. The pics i took are after repainting and the paint is still wet.
So this week i will be planning the theme for the felt house. Any ideas what i could do with a bight orange tent? I thought of doing a VW bus but that would take a lot of windows and really the house would be see through if i did that. Soooo please post suggestions i would really appreciate it:)
