What The Teacher Wants:

Who can resist cute little birds? Not I!

I see birds everywhere, but these are exceptionally CUTE!
I love the detail!  I think they would make a wonderful pin cushion,
as well as a great gift idea for crafters and sewing friends!
I need extra days, extra hours in the week to make all these fun projects!
That is what I love about Pinterest!
My "To Do" projects are easily accessible and they wait for me!

You can find the adorable little birds here:

I have made birds from this simple easy to follow bird pattern found here.
(You may remember these birds, I've featured them in the past.)
Birds are for everyone!
Enjoy your summer!


Hello, I'm back already!  LOL
I can't resist  these adorable Pin Wheels!
I think they are great for Summer Picnic's and super fun for kids!
I know pin wheels have been around forever.
I like the way these are displayed in Terra cotta pots!
The ideas are endless with double sided scrapbook paper!

I often use my blog as a place to file creations I want to make.
I want to make these for a Birthday Party!
I hope you enjoy them too!

Welcome to a fun Mother/ Daughter craft!
Turn your Vintage Doll and Barbie clothes into artwork! I still have a few barbie clothes from my childhood.
How about you?

Tips:
1.  Use shadow box's or a frame with some depth.
2.  The scrapbook paper works well with the card stock weight.
3.  Adhere the Barbie clothes with double stick tape.
4.  For a retro style, you can paint polka dots onto the frames.
5. Be sure to date your frames for your daughter.
6. It is also fun to include the latest fashions of today. (A keepsake for the future)

Enjoy!

Summer time crafts...
Tye Dye Tshirts, Go Fish, Sunshine  and Dolphins!
What fun!
The Tye Dye Tshirts were my girls favorite! We want to make more!
Roll T-shrits in a fan accordian style, wrap with three elastics, (depending on how you roll your t-shirt-you can create several different styles.)
Tye Dye paints can be found at Hobby Lobby or Michaels craft store.
Be sure to use plastic aprons or old t-shirt cover up and gloves!
Place finished T-shirt in plastic bag to DRY for 24 hours.  
Wash T-shirts separate in cold water for the first two washings.
Have Fun!
Now it's time to enjoy the great outdoors!
