Head/Ear Warmer_Crocheted

I used a shell variation stitch, a double stitch, and a simple circle to create the headband and flower. So easy, quick, and fun!

Pumpkin Rice Krispies :)

Mustard-colored leg warmers

Crocheted mustard yellow leg warmers make me so happy. I used a shell pattern and a double crochet stitch for them. I estimated the length and circumference by holding them up to my leg.

Headband out of an Old T-Shirt--Say what?!

Yes, I stole this fun, quick, useful project from another blog.

All you need is an old t-shirt, scissors, thread, and a needle. Oh, plus 5 minutes! :)

Cut a strip off the t-shirt that is about 1.5 inches wide. Then cut the length of the strip about 1-2 inches less than the circumference of your head.

Flip over and sew the ends together. You may add a flower, bow, etc. to the headband...VOILA!

So cute and comfy!

The Buddy Walk

One of the most beautiful children. She is so dear and precious to my heart and I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with her and learn from her.

The Therapy of Art

The beauty and therapeutic effect that the occupation of art can bring to one's soul is paramount. If someone enjoys creating art--in any shape and form-- let them create it, and then appreciate it, because it becomes part of who they are, and part of what makes our world so enchanting at times. <3 ArT <3

Books can open new worlds...

Here is an arrangement of books on my "to read" list. So excited!

Window pane project

Cannot wait to strip and paint this antique window pane I got for $5 from Yesterday's Antiques & Collectibles (https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Yesterdays-Antiques-Collectibles/176231412428840).

Picture frames galore!

Just a few fun ways to craft using picture frames. :)

Utilizing glass containers or mason jars

I used a hot glue gun, ribbon, and flowers to wrap around a re-used glass container. You can set these on your desk to hold craft items, pens, etc. and is a good way to organize and re-use glass bottles or mason jars that you have lying around. My friend Jordan, gave me this quick and cute crafty idea.

Perfecting a cute, affordable gift for a teacher

Beginning...





Do not leave in a car on a summer day. I learned the hard way...



Finished gift.


DIY:
I used another DIY to complete this gift, and they suggested using a sharp knife to cut the crayons. However, after my first gift melted I found it much faster to use a pair of sharp scissors to cut the crayons. It took me half the time to make this gift the second time around after I discovered this trick. Good luck!
