Crafts come in different forms

This week. I've been feeling CRAFTEEE

But it isn't anything crazy, just things for school

So here I have to your left my bucket thingy.. I added to the front chalk board labels so if it changes what's inside, I can change along with it. Now , we ALWAYS find what we need. So much better than the giant tupperware we dug through. Plus next to it, we put a crate with all our folders for easy grabbing, and ella's books for school are on the bookshelf.

Ella kept complaining that she never knew what she was supposed to do next, and I HATE to repeat myself. Especially when I frankly don't know and probably don't care 3 hours ahead of time. This way, thanks to pinterest, I took 3 cookie sheets, painted them with chalkboard paint, hotglued ribbon on the back and hung them in the hallway so each girl knew what's up.

 

I'm sure there's more to do and done... and actually I love crafts... mondays are my hard days...so the girls will soon be doing things that make me smile as we learn what CRAFTS are all about...
Rock on kids!

I'm creative, Sew What?

Here's gonna be my new label!
I have been overrun by ideas to do... Let's thank Pinterest!
There's this really funny link (I can't post it because of its obscene amount of language) that this lady does that takes pinterest pins and test them. She only seems to post the failures.
Difference for me: I feel the obsession to ONLY pin the things that I can and WILL do from pinterest. I have to work it out in my brain and see if I can pull it off cheaper, better, or quicker simpler than it was posted for. Also, it has to be useful. REally!! I am not going to do a project that I don't expect to keep...
So here is one I did this week.
I am making taggie blankets (already knew how to do this.) but I added a wrap.
You know "diapees and wipees". it's a small pocketbook that fits a wipes container and maybe if you're LUCKY, 1 diaper. Supposedly it's supposed to be helpful when you don't want to lug a diaper bag.
I found a pin for a velcro wrap that's adjustable for multiple diapers... kinda like a belt. My sweet friend Krystal is having a baby girl and she got the first pick!

you jealous? Sew What!
