I love this felt accessory.  I made one for each of my girlies. 

It can be worn on a hair clip, headband, or even pinned to clothes or shoes.

I've been in the mood for a St. Patrick's Day craft.  The closest craft store is an hour away.  So I want to make something with stuff I have on hand. 

I have a green hand towel in my scrap fabrics.  It is worn in places and getting outdated.  (Perfect for crafting.)  I freehand cut a heart template out of a manilla folder.  I found a green button that is really the other half of a lost snap.  I had one pin back left in my craft box.  Using the template, I cut out four hearts shapes plus one extra heart (not pictured) for a later step.   

I stitched the points of the first two hearts together. 

Stitched the third.

Stitched the fourth.

Button sown in the center. 

Hot glued the heart template to the back of the clover for added stiffness.  I didn't want my four-leaf clover to be floppy. 

I folded the fifth heart shape in half top to bottom.  Placing my pin on it.  I snipped tiny slits were each end of the pin lined up. 

Then I put the pin through the heart to make a pretty back.  Hot glued this to the heart template on the back of the clover.

There you have it.  A St. Patrick's Day Four-Leaf Clover!

Oh.  My.  Goodness. 

These lollipops are just the cutest. 

We're currently having a Superhero theme for children's church.  This is the perfect Superhero prize!  Also great for birthday parties, Valentine's day, or just plain ol' any day. 

Here's what ya need:

Click on the link to print the template of your choice.

The generic template or the Valentine template.

Cut out your Superhero cape.  Use a hole punch at the top of the cape.  Slip the cape all the way up the lollipop stick and even over the wrapper to hold it on without tape.  You will need a little tape for the superhero mask.  So easy.

Isn't he Super?

Emily at the Anderson Crew posted a pic of her kitchen pennant banner in a recent blog post.  Love it!

I just had to have one for my very own.

So, I went to my fave store.  The Dollar Tree.

I bought three dish towels.  I cut a triangle from cardstock to use as a template.  I used the template to cut two triangle from each of the dish towels.  I was careful to cut the base or bottom of the triangles from the end of the dish towel.  I threaded jute twine through the existing hem of those dish towels using a large sewing needle.  Super easy.  Super quick.  Super cheap.  And I have fabric left over for another project.  Yay Dollar Tree!

I can't stop making them.

I found the tutorial over at Maize In Montana.  It is sooooo easy.  To die for! 

I did make one addition.

Just to neaten up the underside of the frayed flowers, I cut a circle of fabric.   I folded the circle in half.  I placed the pin on the half circle and cut small slits where each end of the pin sits.  Then unfolding the circle I threaded the pin through the slits.  Hot glued generously and stuck on. 

Gah! I love these!

I've been longing to change up our front door wreath.  After I took down the Christmas decorations I went back to the old stand by from Summer/Fall.  

THEN I found this

over at Edie's blog. 

Isn't it glorious?  She probably means it for a christmas wreath but oh. my. goodness.  I want my own version as an anytime wreath.  So, here's what I came up with:

Details:  It's dark outside. The "T" is still wet.  Why wait for the paint to dry?  What's the fun in watching paint dry?  The wreath is from our Christmas stash.  The berries are from the Family Dollar.  Discounted from Christmas.  Four bunches of them were $1.28 $1.27 (Thanks kind lady in line behind me for giving me a penny.)  I cut the bunches apart and stuck them around the wreath in a clockwise direction.  The starfish and the "T" came from the craft store and were $8ish.  (Too lazy to dig the receipt out of my purse for the exact amount.)  The paint for the "T" is leftover from some projects I did in the girls' rooms.  I LOVE my 

< $10 wreath!

P.S. Edie is a beautiful and uber cool blog lady who sadly lost her home to a fire just days before Christmas.  Check out her blog and most of all pray for Edie and family.

Mandi Shandi's Necklace Tutorial

Super inexpensive.  Super easy.  Took less than 2 minutes to make.  I love it!

With the nasty weather we've been having, I was glad for the indoor diversion.  It tastes similar to peanut butter fudge.
