Baby shower

So I am counting the days until my sisters baby shower this weekend. I can not wait to see her a put my little brain into action. My sister requested a travel theme and we decided on "Adventure Awaits." I took on the role of all the decor and I owe a huge thank you to Pinterest and all you crafters to give me my inspiration. Here is a few of the projects I have completed and I will post more after the shower. Cheers

Luggage to hold the favors.

Painted wood letters for over the fireplace.

Wreath for the front door. Wood wreath is from the dollar store!

Pinwheel centerpieces. We dress these up with corn and beans in the case and tied with ribbon.

Huge Polaroid as a photo booth prob!

New name, New focus!

Its been far too long since I have posted on this blog. Its time to start fresh and get serious. SInce I last posted, I have gotten obsessed with crocheting. I am not sure if it was the news of becoming an aunt or I was destiny. Anyway, I plan to post some of my completed projects here and perhaps a tutorial or two of my own making. Heres to a new me!

One hour kindle case

Using slip stitch to seam the top. Perfect little case for my new toy

Well I failed

 I only made it 7 days on my September pinterest challenge. Life kind of got in the way and  I wasnt able to keep my commitment. I hope in the next months=, things will cool down and I will be able to add more to this blog. Any suggestion  of a cute blog name are welcome!

September Pinterest challenge - day 7 - folding fitted sheets

I'm sure you have seen it everywhere on Pinterest but I had to search on YouTube for a demo on how to fold. 

I am more of a visual learner and couldn't     Figure out the pins. Here was my first attempt. 

Ok but not anything they showed on Pinterest. I have it another try and went a bit slower and was happier with the results. 

Happy pinning!

September Pinterest challenge - day 6 - double pony

I have the hardest time growing my curly hair and found a pin to fake a longer pony tail. It tells you to make a high pony with about 75 % of your hair and make another pony with the remaining hair about 2-3 inches below the top pony. Here is my before and after, you decide.
