Learning How To Balance

Here's the latest paracord bracelet I made. I love the designs of Chelsea Carroll! She has created some AWESOME bracelets! Check out her website !

Here's a few more that I crocheted this evening!  Love these colors! Full of purples and pinks! Different colors of blue with a touch of metallic!

This was a mess of a project.... started out as a wrap around scarf.  I had bought a bag of yarn at the local thrift store for $1.50!!!  6 skeins of yarn for $1.50!!!!!  So I started making just a little wrap around accessorizing scarf - but I ran out of the blue.... so my husband suggested - why don't you add another color to each end and just make a normal winter scarf.  I started adding purple to one end - but did too much.... so I connected each end making a loop but then I saw this pin (adding a wrap with a button)  on Pinterest and thought...I can do that!   Then voila ....

This was another SUPER EASY Pin.... my 10 yr old step-daughter loves this because she can do it on her own!!   Here's the link: Finger Knitting fun ...the blue one I added some beads - turned out pretty cute!  The bottom one I did with t-shirt yarn.

A little Pinterest / You Tube project I did - super simple... super cute... Here's the link: YOU TUBE TUT!

I saw this and thought it was so cute... and there are different ways of making them so I will post the 2 ways I found to do them.  As you can see below I did the one jar version!   I created a little round, cardboard tube for the center to hold the baggie of hot chocolate then put mini marshmallows all around the outside of the tube.  I used Ball - 1-1/2 Pt Wide Mouth Mason Jars (9 pk) but you could use tall peanut jars or do the (2) jar method.  (1) Jar Snowman  Method (2) Jar Snowman  Method

We made these - Fabric Ornaments - last Christmas... Not really a kids craft although Sarah really wanted to try.  But it was even hard for me to keep the fabric in the wedges and to make everything straight.  Still fun to try...and After doing a few of them it got easier to work with.  The key is to use thinner fabric. 

Here's the latest "pin" project that we (Sarah - my 10 yr old step-daughter and myself)... Duct Tape Lanyards - so cute... it is amazing the duct tape patterns that are out now!!   We bought JUSTIN BIEBER duct tape last weekend.  CRAZY!!

My plan is to do a "Pin a week" - one of the craft sort and one of the kitchen sort.  I surf Pinterest for hours-it's time to get busy!  Although we've been busy... as I will be posting some of our finished projects as we go and what we've finished in the past year!  This is one of my finished "pins" - T-shirt scarf!  LOVE this project because it was so EASY!!!  I modified it a little but here's the link for the DIY Multi-Strand Scarf ....
