The Dehrings

Last month, while taking a shopping trip to Pat Catans, I can across an Easter Bunny candy dish craft. I absolutely loved it and knew I had to make one for myself.

Here is the original picture…. the one I saw at the store.

Now here is my final candy dish.

I was wanting to put up a tutorial to actually make this, but when I went back to start it all of my pictures were gone.  Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

My sister’s wedding is coming up here in June. While I was home last weekend, I helped come up with an idea for handmade invites and we made them.

This is my original first draft on the idea I had for the invites.

Here is the final invite after all the materials and hole punching was completed.

I think they came out wonderful. Now it is just getting things ready for the wedding. Getting my dress and making the flower girl dresses for Kalyssa and Vallory.

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:

Making these was a lot of fun and I am planning on making Kalyssa some oven mitts!!

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.

Vallory’s doll looked pretty much the same except the dress color is different and the hair was different.
