Text of the page (random words):
ng grandpa look here is the link to the original idea but we couldn t find the wide rectangle frame that she used so we used the square ones from wal mart or michael s and just trimmed the picture of president monson these were a popular one with the ladies that attended the crafting day the frame is 97 cents or a dollar depending on which store you get it from so this is a really affordable project part of what makes the frame cheap is that there is no glass to protect the picture so i just laminated my photo to make it a bit more durable and firm posted by serena at 8 00 am 66 comments

i would make some hello kitty ears for her i tested it out and made a set for my daughter first she loved them but my niece is 8 years old so i needed to make it a little bit bigger i don t have a pattern or tutorial for this i just made it up as i went along i drew the shape of the ear i wanted and then traced it onto the fleece cut out a longer bottom and glued them together with the headband sandwiched in between the layers and then trimmed the extra fleece from the back side of the ear the bow is just a sewn rectangle of satin stuffed and then wrapped with a strip of satin to make it a bow i put a penny in the strip of satin to give it the rounded look on the front then glued it to the headband posted by serena at 8 00 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels costume dress up wednesday november 14 2012 halloween costumes so i meant to post these before halloween or at least closer to it than today but if you want a couple ideas for next year a green plastic army man my husband made the bazooka out of pvc wood a cup and a bracelet we found the idea for the costume here and then we added our own touch of the bazooka then we found clothes at the thrift store and the helmet vest at wal mart in the costume section his was pretty easy to make just took 4 cans of spraypaint and a lot of drying time i tried different options to hide his face and make him seem more like a plastic featureless toy but the one that worked the best was nothing he didn t like the mask like in the tutorial and he kept rubbing off the face paint one pretty peacock i originally saw the idea here but she only did the skirt in the back to seem more life like but i wanted the full and fluffy tutu look and i changed up the colors for the feathers a bit my mom made the leotard from a butterick 5545 pattern and then i measured and cut a ton of tulle for the tutu posted by serena at 11 32 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels costume dress up halloween sewing wednesday september 26 2012 monogram tote bag i loved this project the instant i pinned it on pinterest i made some and then we had family in town so we stocked up on bags and supplies for 9 people including 2 middle schoolers who did their own bags and turned out great and gathered around my craft table and all made these a few weeks ago here are a couple good tutorials here and h ere this one gave me the courage to try colors here s where i found some of the supplies for the adult bag totes 13 25 x13 25 single michael s or a 3 pack at wal mart or michaels it s cheaper at wal mart but if you have a coupon it s cheaper at michael s joanns has some but i didn t like the shapes sizes and most all have colors on them doily 10 the design i liked was at michael s they have some at joanns but i didn t like the design as much then there s fabric paint freezer paper a brush and spray adhesive but those should all be easier to find my spray adhesive is permanent and temporary to make it temporary you have to spray the doily and let it sit for 3 5 minutes before adhering it to the bag i found smaller bags at michael s only found one random pack floating around on the wrong shelf and couldn t find a spot for them so i m not sure if every store has them anyway this size is perfect for toddlers we were going to the birthday party for a 4 year old and after making the bag with her initial i used it as the gift bag and wrapped the rest of her present in it posted by serena at 8 00 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels freezer paper stenciling monday september 24 2012 insulated casserole carrier etched dish my cousin got married earlier this month so for her bridal shower i made a casserole carrier i used a contrasting fabric as the lengthwise wrap to add some fun detail i also etched the pyrex dish with her new last name that way she ll always know which dish is her s at a potluck a few tips i used the tutorial from here but made the alterations from here rounded corners and belting instead of straps my pyrex dish was longer but narrower than the dish used in the tutorial so if you make one of these make sure to measure your dish and adjust the dimensions with seam allowances and overlapping for the velcro frustratingly the new pyrex is longer than my pyrex they made the handles lid different so when i make one for myself i ll need to start over and measure again i m happy with how this turned out but it was so frustrating to make mostly because i had to figure out my own dimensions the first go round one of my pieces wasn t long enough to velcro closed not sure how that happened since i measured and gave extra room so i had to get out the seam riper and cut out more fabric on one piece glad i started this project a couple weeks early cause it went in my sewing time out for a week i put it away for a while where i can t see it if i m really mad frustrated with it then after a while i m refreshed and ready to start over posted by serena at 8 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels etching kitchen sewing friday september 21 2012 chore sticks i found these cute chore sticks you print out the files from her blog cut and glue them to jumbo craft sticks i made these with some friends so that helps to have people to talk to while cutting and cutting and cutting i found the clear jar at wal mart in the kitchen area then i just made a label out of vinyl i didn t end up wanting needing all the chores so i would suggest that you print out the files i didn t want to cut and glue the blank ones for the back of the sticks so i didn t print those pages and mark off to the side which ones you want and count them up that will let you know how many craft sticks to buy for example the files have chores for 3 different bathrooms master guest and kids i only have 2 bathrooms in my house so we didn t need the 3rd set my kids are 2 and 4 so they can t do the majority of these but to get them excited i have them each pick a stick or two and either i do it alone or they help me depending on the task or i say it says to clean up your room when it really said to wash windows so that i can have them clean or keep busy they can t read yet so i can get away with a little fib for now for some reason they are happy about cleaning their rooms if the chore stick told them to posted by serena at 3 42 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cricut project mod podge vinyl wood project thursday august 23 2012 latitude longitude door mat after i saw this post at the crafting chicks for a personalized door mat it was the perfect idea for a father s day present for my dad and my father in law i found the mats at ikea like she said in the tutorial for 10 the door mats i made don t actually have a blurry smudge in them i blurred out part of the longitude since it s technically an address and didn t want to risk sending any crazy stalkers to my parents or in law s houses i cut out the words numbers on cardstock using my cricut and then pinned it down i went a little pin crazy but i didn t want to risk my paint leaking i also tried using a sponge brush but that was horrible and not easy so mid way through my first door mat i switched to a stencil brush the circle bristle kind that you just dab instead of squishing it around it used way less paint and it was way easier and got a clean line i m so happy with how they turned out posted by serena at 11 30 am 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cricut project father s day wednesday august 22 2012 sprucing up a mirror oops it s been a month since i posted sorry my sister s family moved recently and my 12 year old niece has her own room now so for her birthday i decided to get her an over the door mirror to add to her new growing up room i got the mirror at target but the mirrors at the store are just so boring so what does a cricut owner do she adds vinyl to it of course i just added a monogram with dot border to the top i also cut out a bunch of circles in a couple different colors but didn t stick them on i gave her the sheet of dots so that she could decorate it more if she wanted i also tied a bow on top that would stay on once the packaging was removed definately more cute and girly and more personal too posted by serena at 4 21 pm 35 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cricut project vinyl friday july 20 2012 growth chart board i ve always wanted to make a growth chart but hadn t found a style i was sure i wanted to make until a friend of mine asked me to cut the vinyl for her to make a growth chart so that was easy to just cut a second set for myself we were going off the idea seen online in several places where we use a 1 x8 that is 6 long and stain it or paint it and apply vinyl numbers and lines to mark the inches all the boards i ve seen online just show the board before the kid s heights are marked on the board so i kinda had to figure that part out by trial and error to get what i liked best i decided to make a line at the height and then add my kid s name and age i ve decided to mark my kids on their birthday give or take a few days so that i can have each mark a year apart i ve always written down my children s height weight and other stats from all their annual doctor appointments so i was able to go back to their birth weight that way even though i hadn t been measuring them and marking it down myself each year i also hung a picture of each of my kids next to the chart that i ll change out as they grow the challenge i had was how to hang it up if i hung it up with the standard picture hangers you can attach my kids would just bump it or tug on it and it would fall down not safe so i actually decided to hang it up on the wall that is next to the refrigerator our fridge sidles up to a wall so on the opposite side of that wall we just screwed the board to the wall from the back we pulled the fridge out attached 3 screws through the wall top middle and bottom to the back of the board since that side of the wall is hidden by the fridge i wasn t worried too much that the screw would be visible and just slid the fridge back in the only thing i didn t like about how this turned out was that every knot is more noticeable when you stain the wood posted by serena at 7 00 am 3

reason i didn t get around to painting it until a couple weeks ago i found this tutorial for making the board with fold in legs so that it stores nice and compact in the garage technically all i did was find the tutorial and paint it my husband did all the cutting sanding and assembling but that s not important with the nice weather we ve been having we just keep this on the back patio and the kids are having a great time playing with this one thing different we did i felt like the board was too big for just one hole so we cut 3 different sized holes and then i painted it blue with orange
