crafty thursday...

This week I had lots on the agenda to do. But unfortunately my sewing machine isn't working properly and these two things are all I completed.

My grandma bought this plain white apron and asked me to put her name on it. We call her Bia.

And then I put this lollie-pop applique on a T for Naomi. It was supposed to have her name under or above the lollie but I put it dead center in the shirt and didn't leave enough room. Oh well!

Coming soon...polka dot shorts to match the shirt!

more crafty thursday...

I got an order this past week for a baby shower gift. I made this adorable set! She requested Dr. Seuss theme, to go with the baby's room. I love how everything turned out!

(horrible photography skills, she was here to pick up the order and I had forgotton to take pictures!)

Then, this week I made this gift for my sister to give to a friend who is due with a baby girl soon!

Hoping to have lots of new things next week!

Crafty thursday

I'm a little late but here is what I worked on last month for Valentines Day.

-Craft for Daddy

I cut out the letters "WE {heart} YOU" on my Cricut and let Noah color on them. I made the mistake of letting him push the button on my Cricut to get it started cutting, and now he has become obsessed with touching it, so it had to be hidden from his sight.

We also made homemade chocolate chip cookies for Dad.

We had Daddy's surprises waiting on the table when he came home from work.

I made this silly craft for Adam because I am always taking his socks. So he got a big bag of socks! It says "we make a great pair".

 We didn't do anything too romantic for Valentines Day. We went out for lunch with the kids and for dinner- our meal was chili! Adam had been wanting me to make it for a while, I had already bought all the ingredients, so we just went with it. The best part for me was the cornbread! Yummo!

I made this shirt for Noah...it turned out pretty cute. It's a pick-up truck with hearts in the back.

 

Lastly-we got Noah the Jesus Storybook Bible for a v-day gift. He loves it, I love it, if you don't have one for your kiddo, you should!

Happy Thursday! Almost the weekend!!

song...

We did this song sunday at Grace. I just love it! The words really spoke to me, and I cannot stop singing it around the house!!

Here I am before You, falling in love and seeking Your truth

Knowing that Your perfect grace has brought me to this place

Because of You I freely live, my life to You, oh God, I give

So I stand before You, God

I lift my voice cause You set me free!

 

So I shout out Your name, from the rooftops I proclaim

That I am Yours, I am Yours

All the good You've done for me, I lift up my hands for all to see

You're the only one who brings me to my knees

To share this love across the earth, the beauty of Your holy worth

So I kneel before You, God

I lift my hands cause You set me free!

So I shout out Your name, from the rooftops I proclaim

That I am Yours, I am Yours

All that I am, I place into Your loving hands

And I am Yours, I am Yours

Here I am, I stand, with arms wide open

To the One, the Son, the Everlasting God, The Everlasting God

Happy Valentines Day

I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day! Actually, any holiday for that matter. It's a chance to decorate and give a gift, which I enjoy doing.

This year, with Noah being in preschool, we did Valentines for his classmates and teachers.

I got this idea from Eva on her valentine's post from last year.  I've been pretty excited about doing it this year! I think they turned out really cute. The project was very simple. We broke up several crayons, and them baked them for 15 mintues in a heartshaped mold. I then attached them to the print out and then tied them onto celophane bags with a few conversation hearts.

  "Have a colorful Valentine's Day!"

The print out came from the long thread.

 I also wanted to make something for his two teachers who he adores. They are so sweet to him, so I wanted them to know I was thankful for them loving on my baby.

I made heart shaped brownies and filled the bag with chocolate and the brownie.

-yummo-

 covered clothes pens with some red paper...

 and attached this cute print out to the brown paper bag.

{idea came from eighteen25}

very simple, but cute, simple and inexpensive.

My sweet boy headed to school. (I also made the shirt, which took me several hours, no joke.)

this is the best smile I could get!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Crafty Thursday

I have been trying to be productive lately. Especially on the mornings when Noah goes to preschool. We have been super busy but I have managed to fit in some craft time.

I made this key fob for my sis Erika...

bibs and burpcloths for my sweet niece Norah

but the most exciting!! Finally finishing this piece of furniture! I have been wanting to redo it for years. I really love the finished result.

I don't know if you can tell, but I spilled paint all over my hand. :)

Also, last week I told you about some frames I picked up at an estate sale. I have been wanting to do a frame wall for a long time as well, but hadn't collected enough frames. So another house project finally completed!!  

before:

 after:

I have no picture to prove it, but during this painting process, I spray painted by left hand and wedding bands with white spray paint. Apparently I am a very messy painter.

Lastly, this is the bookshelf I picked up at an estate sale last week. It was intended for Naomi's room, but I need to move some things around in there for it to fit, so it currently it happy in my living room. =)

and the hydrangeas were a sweet gift from my hubby yesterday. He's the best.
