what can you do with felt and paper clips??

make girlie paper clips. everyone knows that! :) so i was a little bored while the husband went out with his buddy, so i just randomly made these. i think they are fun.



perfect for bookmarks and holding your super important papers together. :)


speaking of bookmarks. husband surprised me with this book. how cute is he? lol. it’s full of handmade projects to sew, stitch, quilt, and of course love. can’t wait to try some of them out and show you!

this little diy is super easy and way fast. so go whip up some girlie paper clips!

last minute gift for the ladies…(you can even use materials you already have!) but you don’t have to tell them that. ;)

cute little yarn & button bracelet.

all you need is:
– a bracelet (mine was an old one that started falling apart)
– some yarn
– cute things to put on it….i used some buttons
– a glue gun

just hot glue the yarn around the bracelet. i glued all around the outside of bracelet just to make sure.

then glue on some pretties. the idea is to hide the end pieces of the yarn with the buttons.



fun! i think the thicker the bracelet the more fun! then you can put all sorts of things on it.

and if you don’t want to wear it you can add some ribbon and use it as an ornament or pretty decoration.

hope everyone has finished up their Christmas shopping….if not then there’s an easy DIY gift! have a great one!

awhile ago i bookmarked this fun post that Rebecca, Maggie, & Jill over at Homemade Mamas posted, which originally came from Growing Up Creative. it looked like fun and so easy. so i finally came around and made some flowers!

all you need are some toilet paper/paper towel rolls. and glue. and paper clips. and spray paint. but that’s it. :)

i cut them up and played around with some designs.

added some paint and yay!


these are going to hang in the baby’s room. i’ll post a pic when i put them up! thanks homemade mamas!!

**had a midwife appt this morning. baby is perfect….and big. oh man. already about 4 and 1/2 pounds. might be looking at a 9 pounder. big and healthy. :) soooo who wants to be my motivational workout coach???? i prefer to not have a 9 pound baby if i can help it. but seriously…some extra motivation would be awesome! k thanks! :):)

talk about super easy DIY project. saw this over at Under the Sycamore and fell in love. i made these for our gender party. boy and a girl one of course. :)

i simply followed her instructions which really was hot glue the bobby pin on the jar. i added a button to the pin and used a feather for fun and to hide the glue mess in the back. :)

the cool thing about this is you can change out the paper! or they can be photos. these are super cute gifts to make for others and you can write them a fun note on the paper too!

pretty flowers! such a great idea Ashley! anyone can do this, especially if you are like me a keep all of your jars. ;)

peace and love
