As soon as Christmas was over, I vowed that I would make something for me. Now, I really do love sewing for my kiddos, but sometimes it's nice to not sew for them :). When I saw this Ikat linen from JOANN, I knew immediately that it would make the best linen apron.

Crocheted Hair Bows or Bow tie tutorial

These crocheted bows are so fun to make and would make cute hair bow clips, on head bands, or for little boys bow tie. So many fun colors of yarn you could make these out of. 

Since having a little girl, my husband decided she would not have bangs. Mostly because of the maintenance of the bangs or something, I'm still not totally sure why :). Either way, as long as she has had hair, we've been clipping it back. As you can imagine, we have LOTS of bows and clips. She is finally at age to finally want to wear them. 

Pineapple String Art Tutorial

This pineapple string art is easy to make and really fun summer decoration. 

In case you didn't know, we love pineapples over here. Like this pineapple fleece pillow, or these pineapple leggings, this pineapple coloring page and this pineapple bridal shower I threw for my sister (who is the biggest pineapple lover of all of us). 

DIY Patterned Wooden Easter Eggs

These colorful wood Easter eggs are so easy to make using colorful vinyl and natural wood eggs. You can stain the wood eggs or simply leave as the natural wood. Add some pattern vinyl for a pop of color. 

I don't mind winter, I really don't. I love the rain, especially as I fall asleep. But there definitely comes a time near February and March as the days get longer and there's the teasing of warmer weather ahead. It's then that I'm fully ready for spring. Spring is such an exciting time full of hope and color. Babies, eggs and little bright colorful flowers popping through the dirt. It's a time to hope for a chance to start again. Can you tell I LOVE Easter and celebrating the resurrection of our Savior.

Hair Bow Valentine Free Printable

I must admit, Valentines is not my favorite holiday. My husband and I don't get gifts for each other or really celebrate intentionally. But since having kids, valentines has become another fun holiday to share with them.  

English Paper Piece

I'm really excited to be part of Carolina Moore's (from 30 minute Crafts) new Learn How to English Paper Piece book tour. 

Have you ever done English Paper Piecing? I must admit, I'm still fairly new to it. My sister has taught me how to do it and I loved that it could use up scrap fabrics. This pillow is my one project that I have did with my hexagons. 

Succulent Heart Valentine Decor

Did you fall for the succulent tread? I sure did, but mostly because I love plants and flowers, but keeping house plants or potted plants alive is not in my favor. So succulents were perfect for me. Now, I must admit, I haven't had 100% success with all my succulents, but most of them have stayed alive and some even had babies!! So exciting.
