Pine Cone Fun

-
The weather around here has been a little crazy lately! So when we woke up to a bright and sunny day, I was really excited. Gia and I spent all day outside. We started with a walk where she found a pine cone that completely fascinated her. We brought it home with us, along with a few dry leaves she found.

When we got it home, she said it was "for daddy" and "put a bow on?" We didn't put a bow on her pine cone, but we did decorate it a bit. We added some felt hearts, gems and tulle. She had fun pushing down on the gems until they dried. 

 

Once we decorated daddy's pine cone, we spent the rest of our time playing outside. We took advantage of the nice day, because tomorrow might be a different story. 


I also had a little time to make something for myself. 

A rolled rosette ring! The picture isn't that great, but I am in love with it. I will probably end up making more in different colors!

I hope your day was filled with sun and fun too!

This post was a bit more personal than crafty... tomorrow's is a new tutorial! :)

DIY Hooded Towels

I just love the baby hooded towels, but my little one has grown out of them. I have been using regular towels on her, and I miss the hood. I came across this tutorial on how to make large sized hooded towels, but can't seem to find the tutorial anymore. I tried to recall as best I could, and tried to make a couple, here is what I came up with... This hooded towel is so easy to make and I LOVE how big they are! You can make any color you want, and add any color ribbon or fabric strips to the hood! Here is how I made this: First you will need a regular sized towel and a hand towel. You can also get matching ribbon or scrap fabric strips to add to the hood if you would like. I bough my two towels at Wal-Mart on sale for a little over $5. Take your hand towel, and cut it around 24 inches long. Fold your hand towel in half lengthwise, and cut your ribbon to the same size as the towel. Pin your ribbon to the towel, about 1 inch from the fold.  Now o

Maxi Skirt Tutorial

Here is a maxi skirt I made and wore for Thanksgiving. It is so easy and inexpensive to make!  Material: Fabric: You will need to pick out the fabric material and color you want. I used a stretch knit from Joann's Fabric. (Don't forget to use your coupons when buying your fabric!) Elastic band First, you will need to measure how much fabric you will need. I measured from where I wanted the skirt to start, down to the floor, for the length. For my skirt, I got 45'' in length (keep in mind the type if shoes you will be wearing with your skirt. For flats, it will need to be shorter, for heels, measure longer.) The great thing about this material is that I did not need to finish any edges! It will not fray and looks fine unfinished. Woo hoo! :) Next, you will need to measure your waist for the elastic length. Keep in mind that your length will need to be about an inch shorter than your waist measurement. The elastic will stretch and fit your waist snug. If

Graduation Cupcake Stand

Here is a graduation cupcake stand I was asked to make for a party this Saturday. The school colors are hunter green and gold. I bought the fabric and trims from Joann's fabric. The top is a graduation cap with a tassel I made. I took a 10inch cake board, and cut it into a 7'' square, then wrapped it in back. I added a button that I wrapped in the same black fabric and a tassel I made out of embroidery thread. The great thing about the top, is that you can put cupcakes on it as well as the other layers! Find the cupcake stand tutorial HERE ! Check out the new post !  Nook update!
