Thats How We Roll

Seriously if you have never tried melting down broken crayons...it is so easy. I kept a baggie with broken crayons and when I had enough I melted them in muffin tins. They are so cute, would make a great inexpensive gift, and would be even cuter in fun shaped molds.
You melt them at 250 in the oven. Once they are done put them in the freezer and when they are frozen, they pop right out.

Fruit Leather Update

The fruit leather turned out delicious...for me. I couldn't even get my fruit loving child on board. Oh well maybe next time. It was delicious though.

Saturday Morning Fruit Leather Picture Story

Becuase Sister pretty much only wants to eat these

and I saw this post

Which they found here

Listening to this

I preheated my oven to this

and laid this out

Drinking This

Not This

Loving This

I put my frozen berries of choice in here with a splash of OJ and 1 tbsp of sugar.

Then once softened I put it in here

Then back to Here

To Here

Into the oven

Leave the oven like this.

I'll let you know how they turn out and whether or not they are loved by toddlers.

3-6 Month cheap dress to Cute Sister skirt

I found the dress thrifting and knew it could be a simple and cuter upgrade to a skirt for Sister. I cut the top off and added elastic and satin for a new and improved skirt.

Forever Ago...

I upgraded these tees forever ago and never posted them. Hand dyed, because they were stained and I still wanted Sister to wear them. Then I perked them up with some jersey fabric ruffled into a flower shape.

I hate New Year's Resolutions...but I will make a list

So every year people want to get a "fresh start" and are motivated to do things they wish they did regulary, but don't. I hate the idea of a Resolution because it is so final and ultimate. You can only have one-lame. There are so many things that I want to learn and follow through with one seems like such a big decision. Too big for me. I don't even decide what I want to do until I am doing it. But I believe it is a good idea to make a list of goals to learn or try. There are a few crafts looming that I haven't tried yet and some that I am going to follow through with in the next year. In 2010 I will do the following.
1. Screenprinting-haven't done
2. Knitting-haven't ever done
3. Blog atleast 1 time per week
4. Paint all the upstairs trim that needs it
5. Make Lil Blue Boo's Sienna dress and Halter Tie Back Dress
6. Make a onesie out of a vintage tee
7. Make a gift and card for everyone of my family memebers this year
8. Decorate all of the 4 bedrooms in my house
9. Take pictures of all my projects
10. Make beer with my husband
