My friend’s two year old needed something to wear for her spring/2 year pictures. Her momma asked me to whip something up, so I did.
In the past, I have only done tutus with tulle, but I didn’t have enough tulle and didn’t really want to go buy any because I have too much craft crap and need to get rid of it. This fabric came from a fat quarter bundle that I got for something else.
All I had to do was cut the fabric into strips and then tied them on to a ribbon. I like to keep the ribbon long so she can grow into it. Oh and you might want a lint roller. She looks adorable in it and I can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out.
Alex’s sister is in town, so we his family over for dinner the other night. His sister can’t have dairy, so I had to get a little more creative than normal on what I was going to make for dessert. Plus, I’ve been kind of worn out lately so I wanted something quick and easy. Strawberries were on sale and one of my favorite summer desserts is angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. I had to modify it a little and here is what I came up with. I thought I had something like this pinned but couldn’t find it when I went back to look.
I used some thicker skewers that came with my cake pop maker. They are also a little shorter than the ones I have from the grocery store.
We bought an angel food cake although you could make one or use pound cake. I put two chocolate bunnies in a ziplock bag and stuck it in some hot water until it was melted. Then I cut off the tip (don’t cut off very much) and drizzled it on top.
Best of all, they were super tasty. That is the most important part right?
I have been looking for ways to add some color to our kitchen. It is a big room and could use some brightening up but since we are renting I don’t really want to paint the walls. I also don’t want to do anything that might mess up the cabinets since they are both brand new and not ours. I had gotten a set of frames from Wal-Mart that ended up being way cheapo and pretty much worthless. I had taken one apart to use for something else, but then I got the idea to it and a few others on the fridge.
The black ones stayed black, and the others got painted. The red ones also got a coat of Glitter Blast spray paint because I love that stuff. They bring a little order to the fridge and a lot of color.
I try not to keep a ton of stuff on the fridge and the frames help accent the stuff we do have. Like our friends’ cute kids and invitations and cards that we get.
I used E6000 to glue heavy duty magnets to the back, so I can rearrange the frames at will. Best of all, this project was free because I had everything I needed on hand. I love how it adds some interest to the fridge without making it too cluttered and adds a pop of color to the kitchen.
These were a cute little project that I did last summer. At the end of the summer, target had these little solar garden lights on clearance so I bought a couple. I took them apart so all I had left was the light. Then I glued the light onto the ring part of a mason jar lid. I colored the mason jars with Mod Podge (Mod Podge + water + food coloring in the jar so the inside is coated, then drain off the extra and let dry; you can speed up the drying process by putting them in a very low temp oven). Put the lid on the jar and that’s it.
It was hard to get a good picture of them but there were really nice. They didn’t give off a lot of light so they were really just for decoration. I used the outdoor Mod Podge and they held up okay after a little rain but when we had a big storm, they kind of got ruined because I left them outside. Whoops.
