For those of you who have read this blog in the past, you would remember me telling everyone that I won a giveaway over at Frugal Family Fun Blog. I ended up winning Printies. Printies are actually very cute and allows your child to make toys using their own imagination.

First I want to apologize for not blogging as much as I want to. Things have been coming at us at whirlwind speed and changing our course of direction. Hopefully things are getting back on track….. yes there is still a change, but we are getting through it!!!
Last month, I was sitting around the room and watching Kalyssa playing with her kitchen set. I happened to notice that she was washing her dishes with a slice of bologna that I had made her. That is when it dawned on me that she really needed some necessities to complete her kitchen. So I took pieces of left over material as well as quilting squares and started sewing. The only additional item I used to make a couple of these of these was baton (washcloth and pot holders). Here are some pictures:
Pooh Dish Cloth
Pooh Dish Towel
More Dish Towels
Pot Holders
More Dish Clothes
Making these was a lot of fun and I am planning on making Kalyssa some oven mitts!!

This is a simple and inexpensive gift idea that I just started last year. I thought you all would enjoy it!
To complete this craft, you will need:
1. Three wine glasses (all can be of same size or all different).
2. White and orange paint.
3. A black paint marker.
4. Paper or newspaper.
5. Candles.
Step 1:
Wash and dry wine glasses.
Step 2:
With the wine glasses in the upright position, squeeze enough paint to cover the bottom of the glass.
Adding paint to the wine glass.
Step 3:
Turn the glass on its side.
Glass turned on its side.
Step 4:
Roll the glass in a circle to move the paint in order to cover the inside of the glass (might have to add more paint to complete this).
Paint filled glass
Step 5:
Place completely paint glasses on paper or newspaper to dry. This could take a couple of days depending on the size of the glasses. However, make sure you move the cups after a little while setting because if not, the paper will begin to stick to the paint.
Starting the drying process
Step 6:
Once fully dry, draw a face on the outside. (You can paint the nose orange if you want).
Putting faces on the candle holders
Step 7:
Once paint on the outside dries, place a small candle on top.
Now you have a simple and cute decoration for your own home or for someone else.

I came across this on one of the blogs I frequently read. I thought this would be a wonderful gift for two little girls that I love so dearly. I made Vallory and Kalyssa both one of these dolls. Here is the link for directions to complete these dolls. Here is the finished one I made Kalyssa.
Felt handmade doll
Vallory’s doll looked pretty much the same except the dress color is different and the hair was different.

Handmade Decorations
This was a Christmas craft that I put together last year. Tim’s mom had a lot of different Christmas craft direction books and I decided that I wanted to give these a try. These decorations are made out of foam. I think they came out wonderful! What do you think????
