Another fabric Flower Tutorial

I love this tutoriall from Hey! Jen Renee. I especially love how the brooches decorate a simple shirt. Now, if I could just shake off my lazy mood and get crafting.

Wall Mural

Design Mom just shared pictures of her son's room. I love the mural, and it was surprisingly easy to make. Now all I need is a huge empty wall, and a different image.

Shadow Boxes

Check out these beautiful shadow boxes by Darcy Miller on Martha Stewart's blog. I'm sure that you will find them inspiring. Here are just a few...

Bubble Wrap Hopscotch

I love this! It is bubble wrap hopscotch, from the blog Givers Log.
This bubble wrap game is part of a series called 13 ounces or less. The series is full of light weight gifts that can be mailed first class for just a couple of bucks. I especially love this concept because I live away from most of my friends and family, and its a sweet way to keep in touch. Plus, who doesn't love mail?

Recycled Upside Down Plant

I LOVE these recycled upside down planters! They are similar to the Topsy Turvy (as seen on T.V.), but much cooler. I think that the girls would love to watch tomatoes grow from their very own tomato plant. If you too, would love to make an upside down planter then go to Design sponge for the tutorial.

How to Make Reusable Bowl Covers

I have a wonderful sister-in-law (who is more like a sister). She is an amazing example: she loves to reuse items, upcycle, and has practically cleared her home of all paper products. I saw this project on Re-Nest and thought of her. (I might have to make these for gift.)

Fabric Book Shelves

I love this room that was featured on Ohdeedoh. I especially like the use of the hanging book shelves. If you would like to make these fabric book shelves, the tutorial is from the blog Penny Carnival. I think these fabric shelves would be perfect for bunk beds, where a night stand wouldn't be an option.

Fabric Wall Decal

Learn how to put fabric decals on your wall. It's easy, clean, and perfect for renters. When your done just peel it off. Just go to the blog Sewing for Scarlett to learn more.

Easter DIY Bunnies

Learn how to make these sweet bunnies on an amazing German blog, Revoluzzza. These would be perfect in an Easter basket.

Meet A favorite blog, and DIY Easter Project

If you love this Easter egg diorama music box as much as I do then go over to one of my favorite blogs Matsutake, and get the surprisingly easy directions. While you're there please check out the rest of her blog. You will not be disappointed. She is so amazing. Everything she does is perfect and inspiring. If she lived in Southern California, I would track her down and make her craft with me. Here is the kitchen stove she made for her kids, and the best part is that it completely comes apart, and stores away.

If I had a boy then I would decorate it with robots, and she makes amazing robots.

Cute little racing robots.

A cute little deer pull toy. You can learn how to make a similar elephant and squirrel pull toy over at Martha Stewart (Oh yea, she has been on Martha...she is that good.)

Zippered throw pillows

This has been a pretty crazy week. My little Bella has had a sick tummy, so every other day I have been going to the laundry mat. Hopefully, we won't have any more problems and we can get back to normal life. (Sorry dad. I'll call you tomorrow, and get myself to the post office.) Anyways, I thought I would let you all know about the tutorial design sponge has on how to make zippered throw pillows. I've learned a lot about sewing over the past couple years, and I am feeling ready for a new challenge...the zipper.

Make Your Own Children's Wall Art

Don't you love these alphabet prints? They are a free gift from the blog Kind Over Matter. All you have to do is print and frame, and you've got some cute/instant wall art for your kid's room.
If you want to do something a little extra with your free alphabet print then you can follow these directions over at the blog Ollie and Lime, where they take a print and attach it to a canvas (by the way Ollie and Lime have some really sweet prints of there own). When we move out of the city and have more wall space, then I will definitely be doing this.

Crepe Paper Garland

Check out how to make this cute crepe paper garland on Life in the Fun Lane. While you're there, you can also be inspired by the furniture she buys cheap and fixes up. Looking at the amazing transformation really makes me want a yard, and get painting.

Undercover Crates

A long time ago, before I got into blogging, I stumbled upon this tutorial. Do you love it as much as I do? They are covered plastic bins. Now you can stylishly organize your craft supplies, or kids toys. This is perfect for me, because I live in tight quarters and I like the idea of being able to build up.

Make a Faux Buck

This faux buck is so fun. Wouldn't you love to have one in your home? Well, with just a few supplies you can. Just go to Chronicle Books and get the template and instructions.

DIY Statement Sign

I want this room! First of all check out the yo-yos on the dresser...brilliant. Then do you see that amazing sign? I have wanted something like this forever. Apartment Therapy shares the tutorial for making this sign and I couldn't believe how easy and surprisingly inexpensive it was to make. I will for sure be making one of these in the future, but first I have to figure out what I would want my sign to say...

Lola Hair Pin

I am a huge Charlie and Lola fan. It is my favorite and my best cartoon ever! I love that it deals with real kid issues, like losing teeth, or wanting to keep the present that you bought for your friends birthday party. I also love that Lola, unlike other cartoon characters, is always wearing different clothes, and is completely stylish. When I saw this tutorial on how to make Lola clips on Mother Rising I knew that I would be making these for my little girls soon.

festive felt garland

I found these instructions on how to make this festive garland on Anna Maria Horner's blog. I love the colors she chose for this project. I can easily imagine this hanging in our house during Christmas, or for someones birthday, and when you have a daughter whose birthday is in the middle of December this is a good thing.

I have little skirts on my mind

Well, as the rest of the country suffers winter's wrath I am enjoying my first winter in sunny So-Cal. In fact it has been so sunny that my thougts are already turning to summer clothes for the girls, and I have skirts on the mind. I found this amazig skirt tutorial from The Polka Dot Chair, and belive me when I say that I will be making this....twice.
