I am glad to see 2012, I see lots of good things happening this year. It's already been off to a great start with the birth of my new niece. I am overjoyed and can't wait to snuggle her!
I'm always sewing and creating new things but seldom remember to document them, so I am going to try to do that. Or not...we will see what happens!
One of my newest addictions in the last 6 months has been a little ol' website called Pinterest. Heard of it? Yeah I thought so! Best website ever invented! You can follow me on there and see what kind of goodies I pin.
Here are a few things that I have pinned and GASP...actually made! Go me! Woot!
Here's a little round up:
I am getting ready to do a 22 mile with the Young Women's group at church and well, I figured we needed some of these little babies to carry our water bottles. They whip up really quick and I have TONS of strapping on hand so that made it even better.
I am in the progress of making one of these. It's going to be a little different but this was my inspiration. I will post pics of it when I am done...if I ever finish;) Oh...and funny story. I got an email on Freecycle about free pallets, replied right away and sure enough it was one of our favorite teachers from the girl's school...the pallets were at school. Total score!
April (my 12 year old) found these on Pinterest and made them for a Christmas cookie exchange she had with some of her friends. They didn't quite turn out looking like that but they were still yummy and she did them all by herself!
Ok, so a certain 12 year old in my house sometimes doesn't get her hair washed as well as a certain mom in this house would like and well, it looks greasy sometimes. (certain people will remain nameless...) Anywho, didn't want to spend a mint on store bought dry shampoos because I am cheap like that. Whipped some of this up with ingredients I had at home. Used it one time...it worked wonders and ever since then she is washing her hair better. (maybe it was actually just a magic potion?!?!?)
hehehe, did this one to one of our favorite friends/neighbors. The joy of teaching my girls the art of ringing the bell and running as fast as they can back to the car so we can take off before getting spotted was a delight!
Yummmmmo! Made this, loved it!
I've made quite a few batches of these amazing chocolate chip cookies using my sweet cousin Stephanie's recipe...it's my fave go to chocolate chip one for sure!
Made a few of these and totally forgot about them. Where did I put them?
I worked on this and wish more people would....
Unfortunately, I did a bit of this....
This couldn't be truer...
VERY important!
And another wonderful, inspiring doodle from my cousin Stephanie...(does she realize how amazing she is???)
And lastly, this one needs to hang in my house! And the reason I don't usually blog pictures of my creations is....
Oops, that was a lot! Did I mention I love me some Pinterest??
