Crafty Crafty

It's official. I am addicted to Pinterest.

I could scroll through boards and pins all day long. mainly I look at outfits, hair styles, quotes, recipes, DIY projects, decorations for parties and crafts but I seriously find myself going from board to board and user to user trying to find new, fun things.

Since we work four 10 hour days in the summers, I have decided that Friday shall be my day to do crafty things (that I've found via Pinterest) for either my house or the two upcoming events I am hosting (a Pirate baby shower for our cousin Michelle and her hubby Eric and a bachelorette weekend for my bestie Hope).

Here are a few of the crafts that are a must on my to-do list. Since I will be keeping my sweet baby boy on Friday's too, I can't really do anything too big and crazy.

Notebook T-shirt

I want to make this t-shirt and also make a onesie like it too!

Organize Necklaces

I love the way these necklaces are organized on a towel rack with shower hooks! My long necklaces are on thumbtacks behind my guest bedroom door but this method is so much cleaner looking!

Fabric Flowers

I could make these into pins to dress up plain t-shirts or clips for plain flats or my hair

Cake Stands

How truly amazing is this? I love cake stands. 

Decorative Trays

I truly believe that everything looks better sitting on a tray. These are simply made with cake pans and fabric.

Christmas Cones

Granted, we have about 7 months between summer and Christmas time but I love the idea of making fabric cones, I would definitely use brighter colors to match my Christmas decor. 

Star Wreath

I think I could make this in other colors and themes too (i loveeess me a wreath).

and my absolute favorite idea?

Hanging Lanterns

colored yarn in water-ed down glue. awesome.

Sawbug gets dedicated

My sweet little monkey got dedicated at church Sunday and it was a marvelous affair. Mr. Sawyer got to wear his daddy's christening outfit for the service (Josh's parents are Methodist while we're Baptists).

waiting with Daddy

.Sawbug more or less behaved the entire time except when he started crying during the final prayer and I had to give him his pacifier - which he spat across three church pews.

eating his hands - his new favorite hobby

Because it happened on Father's Day, Josh's family decided to not only attend our church to see their grandson/great-grandson/nephew/great-nephew get dedicated but also eat lunch with us at my parents' house (along with my grandparents).

Fashionable Friday: New Design

So.. what do you think about the new layout?
I was so sick of having to change the colors of the leaves on my old tree and adding new accessories and such to my little owls then having to change the color scheme and all that jazz - so I am sticking with this one. \

Any changes you think I should make?
