Texture Play Made Easy Peasy

So simple a monkey could do it. Seriously!

Take any noodle uncooked and put into a sand bucket or any other container that you don't mind getting stained. Add a few drops of food coloring and mix well until all your noodles are coated.

Then spread mixture onto an old towel. You may want to double your towel as my mixture leaked through and stained my counter top. Let dry about 2 hours and voila easy texture play


Kids love to play with new textures and colors. This could also be done with rice. Jada and her little friends played with this for a good hour before finding other things to play with.

Minnie Mouse Birthday Bash

Jada Roo is turning 2? naaaw not for another 4 months but I wanted to get a jump on the party decorations. Now some of my creations may look familiar....
I also got some inspiration from etsy. Anywho here is the pictures from making the party hats, cup cake toppers and sweets tray

April Projects

Here they are!
I made a quilt for Jada's dolls with my old sewing machine. After fighting with it when i started the rag quilt i gave in and bought a new one.
The rag quilt is all flannel and oh so cozy! Just don't mind the loose threads i still have to pick them off. The doll quilt could use a good ironing too

I'm still here

In case anyone was wondering. It's been a crazy few weeks with packing, travelling to Cuba for my big sis's wedding, swimming, jet skiing and so on. I regret not really letting the vacation soak in. You know what i mean? You get to your favorite vacation spot (Cuba)and it takes a few days to learn the ropes of the new resort. Even on our last day there i was still asking my family what time lunch was served. Seriously now why did this information not soak in. Am i still suffering from baby brain?
Anywhooo it was a great vacation! it took a few days for the babes to settle and get used to the heat. She never did take to the ocean so we stayed close to the pool.
Major bonus was when we got home Jada got off the bottle!
Well off to bed not much crafting going on in this house just a few renos. Pics to come:)

Happy St.Patrick's Day!!!

Gotta love hand me downs! I think Jada Roo is loving the dollar store headband!

My Easter tree

And pitiful it is lol My 18 month old seems to like it so that's what matters in this house. It's not about what the adults like or want things to look just right...it's the giddy squeal of excitement that let's you know that it's perfect and it doesn't need anymore.
This project cost about $4.00 and that was just for the cost of the eggs from the craft and dollar store. I got the branches and pussy willows from the neighborhood and the sand from Jada Roo's sandbox.
