Hammock Chair DIY. So many of my projects are inspired by my kids and born out of a need or opportunity to facilitate some kind of activity that will either teach them independence or nurture their creativity.

Hammock Chair DIY

This hammock chair DIY is one of those. I made it specifically for my older son who loves to read and often needs a little bit of quiet space away from his talkative sister. Our front porch has often served as a little retreat from the chaos of a family of five and was the perfect place to hang out (literally) and enjoy a book. While I made this chair for my kids, it could be used by adults as well. I used supplies strong enough to hold up to 200 lbs. so that it might withstand a sturdy plop from either of the older kids, but supplies are available at most hardware stores that will ensure it holds more weight.

Supplies:-1 1/4" x 3' oak dowel (oak is a hard wood and considered safer than poplar for supporting weight. Step Two: Fold your top edge down 1/2" and iron flat.

What is it? My tiny baby girl isn’t really a baby anymore. Sure, she may look like an infant but this one year old is rapidly approaching toddlerhood like nobody’s business! When we first moved to this house I was super excited to finally give her a nursery, but what I didn’t consider (because I was blinded by baby bling) was that my then 6 month old wouldn’t be an infant much longer. Her room is currently decked out with gear she has outgrown, bins of clothes that will go to Goodwill and tons of toys she is too old for. For this project you will need a lampshade, printed Instagram photos, hot glue or spray adhesive and laminating paper (found at craft stores for around $5). Handwritten Recipes Printed on Tea Towels - Sometimes Homemade. By now you all surely know that part of my love for baking comes from fond memories of my grandma on my mom’s side.

Handwritten Recipes Printed on Tea Towels - Sometimes Homemade

I remember on almost every trip to my grandparents farm for a family weekend visit or when I got to spend a week there by myself in the summers, that we would bake something nearly every day. Biscuits, donuts, cookies, pies, and the list goes on. When I bake, I think of my grandma. This year for Christmas, I decided to transfer some of my grandma’s handwritten recipes on to tea towels for my mom. I posted earlier this week about my failed attempt at trying to transfer them using freezer paper.

Instagram Magnets for Super Cheap

I love Instragram, how ’bout you? I do. I adore Instagram. As a Droid smartphone user, Instagram only became available to me last summer though before that I had Insta-envy. For those who don’t know, Instagram is a photo sharing app for smartphones where users can add various filters to their images giving them a unique and funky look. Most of my images are of my babes as we are a little wanting of sweeping mountain vistas here. :) However, the only way I was getting enjoyment was through looking at them on my phone.

Sweet J really likes the Instagram magnets. His favorite hiding place is right underneath the fridge. Here’s what you need: -printed Instagram images -ruler -cutting blade -adhesive backed magnets – I used these which I bought for $6.90 (4-4″ x12″ magnet strips) First, print the Instagram images.

Jag upprepar mig: Det finns lite olika sätt att göra tarn (t-shirt-garn) på: 1. långsamt och meditativt genom att klippa (se ovan), 2. utrymmeskrävande men tidseffektivt genom att skära med skalpell.

Jag klippte, och jag mätte ingenting och jag var jätteslarvig för Jamie Oliver säger att mat ska se hemlagad ut och jag tycker handarbete ska se handgjort ut.
