snack bags

Living in sugarhouse made me want to be green so when Bonny suggested reusable snack bags for craft day, I was so excited. They turned out incredibly cute even if they are a wee bit small. I can't wait to make more. Go here for the tutorial.

gumdrop wreath

My friend Bonny posted this right before the holidays. I went out and immediately bought all the supplies. I LOVE the all white but it turns out you need to have Martha Stewart budget to pull it off. I finally finished my wreath last night. It's heavy as heck and I'm still not sure how I'm going to hang it.

Supplies:
toothpicks (lots)
Gumdrops (lots-can be purchased in bulk at winco)
Styrofoam wreath

How to:
Break toothpicks in half
Put toothpick in gumdrop
Push toothpicks with gumdrop in styrofoam in rows or more clamped together(mine turned out more uniform than I expected)

redo


Before...turtleneck

After...t shirt

I saw an outfit yesterday on the mormom bachelor that I HAD to have immediately! I already own most of it and just needed the shirt. I even left work to try to find it. I found kind of what I was looking for (except it was a turtleneck) and took my I can make that syndrome to a whole new level. Check here and here for some tutorials. I can't wait to make more with cute flowers or ruffles or something.

project...not craft

I accidently broke the already cracked handle on the bathroom sink the other night. A trip to Home Depot, a few tools, and $13 later the sink is fixed. Not the ideal project but definitely a project.
