twelve crafts till christmas skip to main skip to sidebar twelve crafts till christmas a novice crafter s journey creating twelve crafts one per month before christmas 2010 pages home about contact sponsor tutorials and gift ideas kids crafts stocking stuffer ideas share your blog button i like to party at tuesday march 22 2011 tuesday s true confession apparently ants live in texas too i ve never reposted before but i am today because it s tuesday and it s been far too long since i ve confessed anything and there is an incredible sense of irony in the fact that this is my very first tuesday s true confession and i can pretty much confess the exact same thing that i did in my very first tuesday s true confession in my old state let s just say that i woke up this morning to about 100 little ants coming through a crack in the caulking of our back door i opened said door to find a giant ant hole as high as the threshold of our back door that is the cozy home to probably a thousand ants my three year old and i spent the entire morning waging battle with the ants now she just walks around the house with her eyes darting across the floor looking for ants picture me trying to explain to her that when the ants are outside in their home she should leave them alone and not stomp on them but when they are in our home we stomp squish spray and basically annihilate them poor kid is damaged for life i m grossed out you will be too but please don t judge me i found an ant not outside in the grass or on the sidewalk but in my kitchen and not just on the floor but in a cabinet and we all know that there is never just one ant i confess this technically isn t my true confession for today that i am not a person who cleans the house everyday but please believe me our house is clean not spic and span so you can eat off the floor clean but at least i m not going to find an ant crawling in a cabinet at 11 30 at night clean so like i said please don t judge me as a result i did something that i have wanted to do and needed to do for a long time i took everything out of the cabinets scrubbed everything in serious scrubbing fashion and put everything back in a neat and orderly way before during after i started doing this at 11 30 pm so it was a late night i just couldn t go to bed wondering if there were more of those little pests running around in there thankfully i think i didn t find anymore but now every time i walk into the kitchen or open a cabinet i m expecting to find an ant help i don t want to use toxic pesticides just for peace of mind but does anyone know of a toxic free way to keep these little critters away here s my true confession i m a hypocrite you see whenever i find a spider or other crawly little bug in the house i gently scoop it up and put it outside where it belongs i know weird i m fully aware that this is completely bizarre behavior but i just can t bring myself to kill them i even have my girls trained now to come get mommy when they find a spider so we can rescue it and put it outside but there is something in me something deep down inside of me that cannot muster up the same compassion for ants i ll just say it i hate ants not outside type ants but any ant found in my house is definitely in danger and should fear for its life i guess i should thank that little ant because it helped me mark a to do off my list that i ve been putting off at least my cupboards are cleaned and now i can do what i like to do and confess on posted by elizabeth twelvecrafts 64 comments labels tuesday s true confessions monday march 21 2011 movin it monday the family room this past weekend we got one step closer to finishing one entire room in our house not the entire house just one room my husband has been begging for a flat screen tv for years and with the move we acquired one we ve been living with it on the floor in front of the fireplace for five weeks as we tried to figure out whether to look into lcd tv stands for the side wall or mounting sets for above the fireplace here s what we decided i so wanted this space above the fireplace to be a great focal point with a family picture or a favorite piece of art but it just didn t make sense to put the tv stand on a different wall the electrician did a fabulous job and i m ready to whip this room into shape next up trying to figure out what to do with this space craft on or unpack on posted by elizabeth twelvecrafts 24 comments friday march 18 2011 the end of winter countdown calendar winter officially ended for me when we moved to texas in february and it was 70 degrees holy smokes i m not sure if i ll ever get used to it being 70 degrees in february but the official end of winter is this weekend good bye winter hello spring i had big plans to post this little end of winter countdown activity calendar a month ago but well as you know i ve been a bit preoccupied so you will have to keep this in mind when next year rolls around or better yet make your own version for the end of spring or the end of summer or you get the idea end of winter countdown calendar we hung our countdown calendar up about a month before the end of winter each hat sweater or mitten had a little activity or treat tucked inside that we could do each day in anticipation for the end of winter by the end of the countdown all our shapes were tucked neatly inside our little storage bag ready to be hung up next fall as a countdown to winter here s what you need felt or fleece a big shout out to national nonwovens for supplying the felt for this project paper patterns cut out in appropriate seasonal shapes for winter i used a mitten a sweater and a hat ribbons clothes pins small strips or rectangles of paper here s what you do 1 cut our varying shapes from felt you will need two of the same shapes for each day i did 10 mittens 10 hats and 10 sweater so i needed 20 of each shape 2 pin two of each shape together or not if you dare and sew around the outside edge or each pair do not sew the neck and waist of the sweater the head opening of the hat and the wrist opening of the mitten 3 write or print off an activity for each day i used a variety of fun activities service oriented activities and treats 4 secure ribbons on a wall mantel or ceiling of your home 5 hang shapes up with clothes pin tucking paper treat into each shape actually i put the paper in each morning before the kids got up because i have sneaky kids and i knew the temptation of all those activities and treats just sitting there all month long would be entirely too much for them to resist 6 each day tuck the shape you used back into the storage bag brief and super easy tutorial so easy it really isn t necessary to come this weekend what shapes would you use as an end of spring countdown an umbrella a rain boot or coat hmm that s about all i have clearly my creative juices aren t quite flowing yet craft on posted by elizabeth twelvecrafts 19
