Working Wednesday

Hey Everyone. I am still working on my Spring Vignette. I have developed a cohesive set of items to use for the Vignette. But not one of the items pops!! There is no wow factor!  I created a several items, hoping that one would be my staple piece. However no such luck!!!  I am going to continue to work on it until Friday. If I do not have a staple piece, I am moving along. I will have a finished project on Friday. Staple piece or not!!!

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow and checkout my guest blogger. I am super excited !!!! The countdown begins. Just in case you did not read my blog on Monday when I introduced my guest' you can see it here (which I know you all did).  She is a mother, wife, crafter and blogger. She has so many good ideas and she will be sharing one of her many good ideas, right here on my blog. I know you will enjoy her post just as much as I am.

See you tomorrow!!!!

Tutorial Tuesday

Flower ball

Supplies

• Styrofoam ball
• Fabric 
• Scissors
• Glue gun

1. Draw 2 inch circles on fabric ( I cut about 30 circles)
2. Cut out circles

3. Wrap and glue fabric around styrofoam ball and set aside (this would be the extra fabric you have left over after you cut the circles)

4. Fold circle in half and fold again and add glue to hold together

5. Then glue all folded circle onto fabric covered ball 


There you have it a fabric flower ball

How cute and simple!  See you soon!!

Motivated Monday

Hello Everyone!!! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Did not have time to post on Friday. I am currently working on my Spring Vignette (yes the one I was going to have completed last Friday) and an upcoming under the sea party. So I have been super busy.

Also, I have some super exciting news!!!  I am going to have a guest blogger on Thursday!  Yes, guest blogger, how cool is that!! My guest blogger will be Tabitha Keese from Shipwreckedonfabulousisland. She has a super awesome blog,  She blogs about everything from how to shop thrifty to home decor.  And I have her here guest blogging. You can check her out at http://shipwreckedonfabulousisland.blogspot.com . Make sure you stop by on Thursday to see what interesting topic Tabitha is going to share!!

So my Vignette is not coming together as I thought it would (seems like this is a common theme for me lately). However, I do have some key pieces but as it stands at the moment it is an unfinished project.  I hope by the end of this week I will have a cohesive final project.

Moving on!!! The under sea party is moving forward. I have created an inspiration board full of ideas to create a beautiful day for the birthday girl. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Stop by tomorrow to check on my progress!!  Talk to you soon.

Homemade hair and body product

Hello everyone!!! I hope you are enjoying your day. Today I am making homemade hair products. I found a recipe for shealoebutter at http://www.naturalhairrules.com/shealoe-shea-butter-aloe-vera-gel/ . Which is a moisturizer for your hair and body. It is mixture of shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera gel.

My hair gets extremely dry, so I am hoping this recipe will help me combat this issue. Here is what the final mixture looks like.

I will give you an update in about a month to let you know if it works.  See you soon!!!

Wonderful Wednesday

Hello Everyone!!!. We made it to mid week. As for me, I am still working on my Spring Vignette. I hope to be finished by Friday(wishful thinking). I did manage to crank out some more projects from the mish mash of ideas I have in my head. I created a runner for the space. It screams spring! I like it. Even though it is not looking or feeling like spring outside, I will have a piece a spring inside. It will come together!!!!!


When I was contemplating my spring vignette. I came across some bunny decor from the thrift store. One of my favorite finds was a bunny box(for lack of a better word). See for yourself.

Not sure how I am going to incorporate it into my vignette. But I am sure I will make it work. I just love this little piece. Wish me luck!!!!

Tutorial Tuesday

Hello everyone! With 18 days to spring. I have spring fever. So here is a tutorial for a wreath that you can make for spring or anytime of the year.

Supplies

• Foam Wreath
• Yarn (color of choice)
• Embellishments

1. Wrap yarn around foam wreath
2. Embellish

Yes it is just that simple. I made during the Christmas season. Hence the colors. But all you have to do is use spring colors and you will have a spring wreath. Here is my finished product.

Simple and cute. I went for simple embellishments. But you can embellish until your heart is content.

See you soon!!!

Manic Monday

Hello Everyone!!!! I hope you all had a good weekend. Surprisingly, I accomplished a lot this weekend. I started my spring vignette and I completed the desert table for the royal baby shower. Job well done, if I must say so myself.

The Royal Baby Shower was on Sunday. I was impress with the color choices. The purple and gold exuded a grandiose vibe that was fit for royalty. So mission was accomplished. I was also super impressed with the dessert table I created.  It was fit for a king all on a modest budget. See for your self.

Moving on to my vignette. It is in process. It is still a mish mash of pieces that are all in my head. I did crank out a fabric/floral wreath and I am using the egg topiary that I displayed last week. If you missed it here it is again.

Don't know how much I am going to get done today. The kids are not in school. They have another snow day. Well wish me luck!!!  See you tomorrow for Tutorial Tuesday!!!
