Pimp My Stoller We have HUGE doll stroller fans in our house, and I am not just talking about Evie. My boys love racing around the house with the strollers pretending they are transformers. When they are up they are cars, when they are folded down they are motorcycles and much to my dismay they are often folded and lifted and made to be missal launchers. This is usually okay with me because thanks to Grandma and a neighbors garage sale we now have a dolly stroller for each child hence no squabbling or at least minimized amounts. I want Evie to love princesses as much as the next mommy but I also thought it would be fun for her “boutique” Bonjour Evette dolly to have a matching on e of a kind stroller. Evie was a fan… okay so she didn’t really notice a difference. But I am sure Evette felt good rollin’ in style Of course we had to stop every now and then to eat some rocks Evie is doning one of her new spring outfits and looked so comfy and cool. The locals were out in mass as it was a weekend. Scissors

How to: Fall leaf candle holder Ok! This may look a bit familiar. While I sat brushing Mod Podge on dozens of leaves to use on my Fall wreath, I decided to light a little jar candle covered with fall leaves that I made last year to keep me company. I enjoyed the warm glow of the candlelight dancing through the leaves so much that I just had to make a bigger one! But this time I made it with the intention that it could be used the rest of the year for crafty storage! I used a large, one quart jar with a two piece canning lid. This has worked so well, I am planning to make a full set of four - one for each season to use to store tea bags, Splenda packets etc. on my kitchen shelf - keeping them in rotation as candles as the seasons go by. And since it is so easy to do, I am making some with my two little gingerbread house buddies for their Thanksgiving table! How to make a Fall Leaf Candle! All you need to make one: dried, pressed fall leaves, regular Mod Podge, a jar and a brush. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Here is a sneak preview!

How to make a Fairy Wand 7.3K Amazing Shares Facebook 24 Pin It Share 180 180 Twitter 11 Google+ 2 StumbleUpon 7.1K Email -- Email to a friend 7.3K Amazing Shares × How to Make a Fairy Wand (DIY) Tutorial I have always wanted to Make a Fairy Wand (and you can now check out my how to make a tulle wand tutorial), but not the usual kind of puff ball fairy wand, something different, more creative. My initial thought was to make more of a “crystal ball” fairy wand. This is what I came up…the project took about 30 minutes. What you will need to create this Fairy Wand (or one of your own style) is the following: Dowels (i opted for a larger dowel and cut it in half w/ a hand saw…that didn’t go so well) $.99Ribbon to wrap the dowel $2.99Tulle (I had this at home)Clear plastic Christmas ornament $1.29 (get 2 in case you hot glue mess it up like I did)stuff to put inside the ornament..I used a stream of marabou fluff, other ideas are flowers, glitter, ribbons, bows or rhinestones. Don’t be afraid to get girly here. ~Trisha

Felt Letters for Clementine’s Room Yesterday I finished these felt letters for Clementine’s nursery. They had been sewn and stuffed months ago but I had this idea that they would all hang individually from the tension wire that holds up her curtains and then when I tried it and realized they would spin around and half of the letters would be backwards I gave up and for months there’s been a hanging “Cle” in her room with a backwards “e.” The solution ended up being a strand of clear thread which runs through the letters and is looped at the ends so it can hang from nails. And now I’m so geeked about how cool this turned out that I look for excuses to wander into the nursery and stare at it. I will freely admit that the idea for these letters was not mine. If you have a child with a sensible short-lettered name, you might yet decide you want to make your own set. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. You can see the stitches pretty clearly in the picture above. 6. 7. 8.
The Daily B: fabric letters for the fridge Miles has been chewing on our plastic fridge magnets, and since they're all secondhand (read: old), I got a tad worried about phthalates and other toxins. So, I had the idea to make him some fabric magnets that he could gnaw on. THEN I thought, wouldn't it be cute to have a fabric alphabet?? I layered some felt in between scraps of my favorite fabrics and cut out the letters. Total cost: $4 for the magnets. I like the rough (shall we say shabby chic?) I only got to "J" before the kids woke up from their naps. Safety Note: Make sure the magnets you use are large enough that your kiddo can't choke on them, and stitch them completely inside the fabric.
Just Another Day in Paradise: Old MacDonald Puppet Tutorial and Pattern EDITED NOTE: A couple of you have reminded me that I didn't show a picture of poor Old MacDonald. MY bad! HERE is where you can find a lovely picture of Mr. Here is it! I have scanned and downloaded the actual patterns into this post, but I am also posting the link to download them instead. There are 7 pattern pieces. Supplies you will need: Felt in following colors- tan brown white gray yellow blue cream black pink orange Coordinating thread Old MacDonald Patterns Basic Instructions: You will cut out each pattern piece in the color of felt depicted in the pictures of the whole set of puppets. The hardest part really will be cutting out all of the pieces. I will be showing how I sewed the horse, but the same basic instructions apply to all the animals, with just a few variations, which I will specify. First: Lay out pieces that go on to the front of the puppet with 1 piece of the hand puppet, and then pieces that go on the back with the back piece of the puppet. Second: Prepare all the individual pieces.
