Want to Craft That Wednesday - Tin Can Windsock

How cute is this tin can windsock from Under the Table and Dreaming!

I love this flag version...but the possibilities are endless for how you could decorate it!

Want to Craft That Wednesday - Cozy Cone Motel

Yep, two in one day...my folders are that out of control!

Cozy Cone Motel from One More Moore.

There aren't any instructions for this...but it can't be that hard to figure out.

Want to Craft That Wednesday - Scrabble Magnet Board

Part of the reason I created this blog was to put links to ideas I want to try. It's time to start doing that again, because my bookmarks folders are getting super out of control!

Scrabble Magnet Board from The Twice Remembered Cottage

Scrabble isn't really my cup of tea (I'm not great with words) but I love this idea. It actually makes me think of a few of my siblings.

Paper Trees

So pretty and so easy! I might have to store this idea away for a couple of years until missy is old enough to help. Thanks, Martha!

Make Your Own Notepad?!?!

I have GOT to try this! I think I'm going to do a little research and see if there is a way I can make each page sticky so then it could be like Make-your-own-Post-Its! Yes, Lori, if I can figure it out you will definitely be getting some! Found this here, at Skip to my Lou.

Placemat Handbag

Like I said before, I love Dollar Store Crafts! Now if I just had a reason to make one of these...

Old Book + Creative Idea = Wall Folder

I'm working on my own version of this to hold paper and coloring books to go with the art table that little missy is getting for Christmas. Hopefully I'll actually be able to accomplish all of the things that I want to by then and can post some pics of my stuff in January.

My Skirt Becomes Her Skirt

So I have a couple of skirts that I no longer wear, they still fit I just feel too old to be wearing them because of the fabric that I made them out of. After seeing several tutorials on skirt revamps I have decided that after things calm down from all of the Christmas chaos I'm going to attempt something like this:


Oh, why do you all make it look so easy??? I might regret doing this!

And for my one skirt that is a little more fancy, how about something like this


I think I'll start with the first one...it looks easier!

Terra Cotta Decor

Too many cute things to do with terra cotta pots!
These cute mummies (info here).


or how about some ghosts (I actually saw some in the oriental trading co magazine that were way cuter...I'll have to scan the image in)


Or snowmen! Super love them all!

Cutest Puppet Theater Ever

This will have to wait until we have a house of our own someday (plus the little one isn't old enough to justify making this just yet). Bookshelf/hutch turned puppet theater, love it!

Childs Oven Mitts

So I have started making these for my little girl and they are so cute! The only problem is that she picked the plain green ones and that is just too boring for me so I'm sewing some cute flower ribbon around the opening and they are too small to fit on the sewing machine, so I have to do it by hand (something I'm terrible at!). I'll post pics after Christmas when they are all done. Get details on these ones here.

Post It Note Holder

I have a sister that would love to get these as a gift (close your eyes, Lori)! I seriously love the site Dollar Store Crafts! So many cute ideas (instructions for this one found here).

Halloween Spooky Candles

These are too fun! What a neat idea from A Little Tipsy (more info here). How spooky would these be if you used a white candle with red dripping down the sides?! I'm going to try that!

Pot Holder Turned Quiet Book

Maybe someday I'll learn how to actually sew so that I can make cute little quiet books like this one, from Obsessively Stitching.

Ribbon Covered Frame

I super love this idea! I found it here, at Lucky Star Lane. Basically you cover a piece of foam core with ribbon and add a little clothespin to hold the pic. This will be great for all those ribbon scraps I have lying around!

Boo-tiful craft for all seasons

There are several word variations for this sign. Check them out here.

Make Your Own Argyle

I love argyle print and I can think of a shirt of two of Madie's that would benefit from this addition :)
Lu Bird Baby has a tutorial here.

Umbrella Card

Wouldn't this make an adorable baby shower invite? Instructions here.

Scratch off lottery ticket

I have no idea when I would ever need to know how to make my own scratch off lottery tickets, but I want to know that I have the instructions some place safe, just in case. I found this here.

Ruffle Skirt

The more I look at craft blogs the more I want to learn how to sew. That way I could make adorable things like this (found here).
