I recently changed my schedule to save my family money on child care and to spend more time with my little one. After searching some pins, I came across a DIY "porcelain-like" ornament mixture. I decided to try it. While the mixture appeared easy at first, the drying process showed differently. The cakey, cracking appearance and rather dusty texture left me feeling like I needed to find a new recipe and I'm still looking. Luckily I have time until Christmas and until then I will gather more craft ideas and test them out.
I'm glad I came across this pin and tried it. The ornaments came out okay. Not what I was expecting, I must have done something wrong. I will try again soon, or I might try another. However, this pin honestly inspired me and I hope to make this an annual tradition. My son really liked playing with the doughy consistency. Of course, gotta love boys.
Until next time. ~Live life! <3
Toilet Paper Roll Turkey
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and with my schedule change,
I'm able to spend more time with my son, which also means, arts and crafts. Today's craft, 'toilet paper roll turkey'. I found this simple little craft, fun and entertaining.
My son loved cutting the feathers, though it scared me! He did a great job and it's a good looking turkey, if I do say so myself. Thanks to pinspiration, we made this adorable turkey that will serve as décor for thanksgiving dinner.
This is the start to many more crafts, stay tuned.
 Years ago I was given a creative outlet. One that I never thought I'd enjoy so much. My grandmother showed me how to crochet one day and since her passing it means more to me than I could ever imagine.
With the techniques she taught me and the wonderful world of Pinterest I decided to give this DIY project a go. I used a combination of left over yarn I had sitting around and shirt yarn that I made a few months back. When I saw this pin I immediately had to try it. This blogger successfully inspired and my festive little coffee cozy was complete.
I took it to work for the first time and received such positive reviews. I loved the excitement, more so because it was free and a DIY! One coworker even states, "your coffee has a jacket! How cute!" I loved her excitement and I can't wait to make more.
This weeks Pinterest inspired pin is a DIY face scrub that is made with something that you likely already have at home. This pinner found a solution for a baking soda and water scrub that is suggested to be gentler on skin. The original article found in Real Simple Magazine,is a simple face scrub that left my skin feeling clean and refreshed. No harsh residue and no stinging. I highly recommend it for sensitive skin.I applied a light layer of my daily moisturizer afterwards and now i'm ready for bed.
