almost famous.

well, not really. but there is kind of a story behind this picture. can you figure it out?

remember pinterest? I've talked about it on here before. it's my new favorite way to organize and keep all my project ideas together. its changed the way I do projects and I love it. 

more recently I noticed that our little family blog was picking up a significant amount of traffic and I was a little curious why, and I found out that sherry from young house love had picked up a pin of a picture on our blog from jenny + jamison's wedding. 

so really, its nothing special, just kind of neat. and I can't even fully take the credit because jenny truly is the one who has amazing style and I just got to take a picture of it. 

if you would like an invite to pinterest to join in on all the fun project organizing leave a comment and I'll get in touch. 

happy monday! 

easter felt garland pretties.

decorating for the holidays, now that I'm a mommy who stays at home has been so much more fun. everything is new and I have had a great time brainstorming ways to incorporate new decorations into each holiday we celebrate. 

for this project, all you need is a sewing machine, felt, and a spool of white thread. for any crafters out there who find a use for felt, buying it by the yard is definitely the cheapest way to go. for a project like this all you need is about a quarter yard of each color. 

yarn easter eggs. how to.

easter is just around the corner and any holiday is just an excuse to craft something to decorate. Lord knows I love to make anything with yarn so it made sense to turn transform these eggs:

into these pretties:

it's the easiest project ever. and all you need is:

styrofoam eggs. 

here's how to make it happen:

starting from the top apply felt glue and begin winding the yarn in circular motion around the egg. 

it should look something like this:

 once you get about half way down, trim off your yarn piece. 

 turn the egg over and apply glue to the bottom, just like you did with the top 

and continue winding with circular motion, 

 until the two ends meet up and then apply felt glue to the exposed area. and press the two ends together.

 and there she is, the finished product. 

 the best part is joining her up with the rest of her friends to decorate around the house with. 

because I already had most of the products around to work with this was a very inexpensive project. the only item I had to buy was the styrofoam eggs for $3.99 at joann fabrics. 

happy easter crafting.
