itty bitty kitties

Here are the rest of the kittens. They looked way better in person.

Valentine's Day

Had to do a quick post of Thatcher wearing the hat I made him for Valentine's Day.  Too cute!

Modern ABC Magnets

Here are some magnets I made (with my Cricut-Doodletype cartridge) about a month ago.  Again, a super fast, super easy craft.   Instant gratification to feed my addiction.  I've seen a few variations around blogland that I'd like to try out, like a more colorful set, but we'll see.  So many crafts...so little time...

itty bitty kitty

Here's the first of a series of little cats I'm making for my niece Emma's birthday.  They are so easy to make.  They take about an hour.  That's my kind of project.  I'm going to make them out of different types and colors of yarn.  I will do a post before I mail them off to Indiana.  I'm super excited!  I hope she likes them as much as I do!!

Craft Exchange

Just wanted to do a quick post to show the gift I received in the homemade gift exchange I participated in this year.  I absolutely love it!!  The pic does not do it justice.  I'm already planning a whole elf display for next year.

Love it!

River's snowman

We just got a collection of Calvin and Hobbes books.  Need I say more?  Let's just hope it stops here...

Paint Chip 'art'

Here is the infamous 'art' project.  It was easy, yes.  But not as easy as it looks.  It's one of my favorite crafts I've done lately.  It was fairly easy and very cheap to make.  It really jumps out at you when you walk in the room.  I like mine better than the ones I copied from other craft blogs.  I'm going to layer family photos on the shelf with it.  Will post pics when I'm done.  Hopefully I can finish it up in the next couple days, before the boys' sleepover.  I have frames laying around everywhere just waiting to be broken.  I cringe every time the boys have a nerf war.  I also 'borrowed' one of your ideas, Amy.  I made the candle holder next to it.  It started out a little vase and a plain old candlestick with a chip in it.  I had them in storage.  Now I love them ( I have 2). You can't even see the chip now.  I need to get some larger candles for them.  It's on my list.
