Broccoli

While being asked to eat his vegetables...


Sam: Daddy, remember that time I ate that BIG HUGE broccoli and I threw up a BIG green throw-up?

Daddy: No, I don't, buddy.

Sam: Me either.

Crafty Art Attack!

If you have a creative bone in your body then you can relate to going through phases of obsessive "I must create" bouts. It's seriously hard to get anything else accomplished. The past few weeks have been like this for me. I have been perusing craft blogs, flipping through DIY magazines and gathering more project ideas than I know what to do with.  Most of this energy has been channeled into painting walls in our soon-to-be-finished shop/garage/crafty studio sort of place (before and after photos coming soon). I've also been working on a few other little projects pictured below.

I got the idea from a DIY magazine. I just used some scrap material that I had laying around and mod podged it to canvas. The pattern is freehand.


The hanger is drawn on with graphite. The fabric is mod podged underneath and on top. I chose not to glue the top of the ribbon on this one.  There are so many options with embellishing these as well. Anything from buttons to feathers to sequins...just about anything that can be glued to canvas! ha! I chose to keep it simple....this time. :0)

These were so easy and fun to make for cute decor in Libby's room!
Let me know if any of you are interested in seeing a tutorial.

Happy Crafting!

A big fat Nevermind

...'cause I got this. More posts coming soon!

Blogger help, anyone?

If I knew the correct terminology it might help....but here goes anyway. I have successfully changed the background in my blog, but the middle doesn't change. What gives? Can anyone help?

Many thanks....and stuff.
