Father's Day!

This year I told asked my hubby if he could just get his own Father's Day gift this year. I know I'd never get him exactly what he wants. And he was ALL FOR IT. A nice pair of DC shoes. He has an obsession. I was glad to check that off my list and now I only have to worry about our anniversary present. June 14th. Until I saw this and fell completely in  ♥L-O-V-E♥ Thank you Sister Stuff! I may just do this now!

Car Seat Canopy

Yes! Finally a post and it's something I did! If only I had known these existed with my two other kids, or I guess for all I know they didn't exist. A car seat canopy! Oh you are the answer to my car seat problems.! Trying to keep that blanket on there is such a hassle and when you don't have something there it somehow gives people (random ones at the store mostly) the opportunity to come touch your new little all over! Oh the terror in my eyes. "I hope you washed your hands!" These are the ones that I made and they aren't as fancy as some you may have seen BUT it serves it's purpose right?

Little Boys Tshirt

I haven't been doing much crafting lately. Mostly making hair things for my little girl and spring cleaning/getting ready for the baby. I have sooo many things I wanna do that the list keeps piling up! My next thing I wanna make is a cute fat quarter skirt for Kymber which is beyond easy, even a caveman could do it! And... of course these for my boys!

"Stair" Art

This makes me wish I had my dream home already and had stairs. Looks easy enough to do not to mention CUTE! It looks like you could make them interchangeable too to change it up every now and again!

Play Kitchen

You know what my little girl would absolutely die for? This.

Hair Clippies

I used to make hair clippies and flower clips for my little girl ALL THE TIME, but somehow got caught up in this new little bundle that's on it's way and I have been making stuff for him. Totally neglecting my other kids. After my cute friend Madyln  started making them for her girls, I decided to take it up again and make "Big Sister" feel special. ( Plus I get to use them too!)

My dear husband got invited to the midnight showing of Iron Man so he went to bed when the kids did leaving me with a few hours to have all to myself. Sounds like a craft op!

(This is pretty much all you need for these )

-Hot Glue
-Scissors
-Embellishment for the center of the clippie
-Ribbon ( I like 3/8" ribbon for the perfect flowers but you can use whatever you want really)
-Alligator Clips (You can find them in bulk at Sally's if you plan on making alot or you can online)


♥Cut the ribbon to the size that you want and them hot glue it so it looks like this

♥Step 2: Glue the centers of the insides together

♥Step 3: Now make 3 of these and glue them together staggering each other simulating a flower

♥Step 4: Now glue ribbon to cover the alligator clip. I like to also glue a little section from a drawer liner to help keep the clip from slipping our of the hair. Sounds weird right? But it works like a charm!


♥Last: Glue an embellishement in the middle to finish it off! Here is some of the ones that I've made!

(The lighting sucks I know!)
