The Power of Pinterest

Sponge balls. Took awhile to make them, but wow. They were "water balloons," grenades, and best of all, cleaning devices! The kid wash, aka the sprinkler, is also an idea from Pinterest! We are having a great summer! Good mixture of coming, going, playing and relaxing. :-)
PS, E and K had friends over. I didn't pick up two more kids.

Poly Deco WHAT?

OH my goodness. There is this craft stuff. Stuff that is amazingly fun to work with. At first reminded me of that orange fencing that construction workers use to block areas off.... except, well, it's not that orange, and the grid of the "mesh" isn't large... like the fence stuff. But still.... oh my. Now I went nutso (in a classy way) with it this past Christmas. I mean I had fun! I made wreaths, door swags, more wreaths, more wreaths.. more wreaths....you get the picture. Now I'll actually show you my pictures. ;-)

I'm so proud of myself!!

I painted this. I didn't copy someone else's project. I did it!! I came up with the painting based on a curtain at Target. I am grinning ear to ear!!
This is for E's teacher, who is having her first baby next month. :-) Go ME!!!

Mother Ship Is Calling....

I think Hobby Lobby should be my second home. You could send my mail there, and I'd be able to pick it up at least 2-3 times a month! It would be more often if I lived closer to one.... but my finances and my overflowing craft closet say I'm good for now. Lots of projects to do! Yesterday I made a Scrapper shirt a Scrapper skirt to wear over black leggings for DD to wear to school or games....("but not together because they just don't match, mommy" ~ DD...... and a set of outdoor curtains to cover a blocked off sliding glass door on one of the back decks. Believe me, this will make our neighbors happy... they won't have to stare at that ugly door.... Today the sewing machine is still out, so who knows what I'll find that needs to be sewn. I'll post pictures later of the projects I made yesterday, but 1) DD is wearing the shirt today, 2) I have to get a curtain rod before I can hang the curtains, and 3) well, the skirt is sitting right here, but I will post all the pics together. I hope to have a wonderfully crafty day! Ha!
