May I introduce...my very own Harry Potter and Hedwig

I finally finished Roy's custom - just in time for his cousin's dress-up birthday party! The best part is that I only spent $1 (on the socks). Roy got the hat before he was born from a friend, borrows the tights from his 'girl-friend' and I had a bunch of left over felt from a previous project. I love projects like this! AND, I'm so happy with how it turned out. (OH, and Harry Potter was an afterthought, but easily accomplished - eye liner and striped cardigan)

Happy Halloween!

Altered Books

I can never pass up vintage books at flea markets and garage sales, hence, I have piles of books. I'm always looking for ways to alter them into something I'd actually use, because - let's be honest - I don't read books very often (with the exception of Brown Bear and Good Night, Moon). Here's an easy project to convert an old book into a planner:

Left Over Banner...

I had some left-over banners that I made for a wedding and decided to dress up my craft/guest room windows. Someday I'll make curtains, but for now I like how playful this looks:

News-worthly Pumpkin

Instead of the same ole pumkin carving, I decided to try something new this year. All you need is Mod Podge and newspaper. Made for perfect Fall family photos:

Handsome Pumpkins - don't you think?

Roy Boy - 10 months

Roy likes slides!
