I saw an ad in a local paper for sewing lessons for children and when I checked into it I found out that it was already full, but it got me thinking that it might be a fun grandma camp to do this summer with my oldest granddaughter! Since I already have her here at my house twice a week it would work out perfect.
Here is a printable just in time for your patriotic decorating. This would be great for your mantle, kitchen, a table or shelf. I paired mine up with these stars that I made from the Wood Connection and a jar of bubble gum! So simple yet looks cute. I made my print into a canvas photo block, but it would look darling in an 8 x 10 frame. It would also be fun to spray paint the frame or glitter it up a bit, etc.

I thought that it would be fun to do a subway art picture for Father’s Day, but instead of just words I did “Dad Sayings.” I had a fun time remembering a few of the things that my husband used to say to the kids! This would make a fun gift or just put it up for a little summer decor. It would look great in a double frame with a picture of you and your dad!

I had this patio set out on my deck for years but we really did not use it very much because it was on the west side of the house and it was always too hot in the afternoon even with the umbrella up. The fabric got so sun bleached and was starting to fall apart that I decided that it was time to do something different with it. Continue reading
I am so excited about this project because the main material used is RIBBON, and you all know how I feel about ribbon! :)
I am using this as part of my decor for outside on my front porch but you could use it in so many other ways. They would be great as decorations for a party or shower, you could do it in a color theme for all the different holidays. Red, white and blue for the summer, maroon and green for Christmas, pink or blue for baby showers, or just use the colors in your home for a fun home decor accent! Continue reading
This week I have a few ideas for some outdoor summer decor that I have been working on. Summer is almost here and the kids will all be out of school soon, so I guess I have just been in the mood to make my little world a little more summery!
I wanted a new wreath for my front door that was bright and summery. I have done a lot of patriotic things in the past but chose to go with the bright fun summer colors this year! Continue reading
I saw this idea on how to dye canvas tennies here and decided I wanted to give it a try, but I was worried that if I dyed the shoes that it would be difficult to match it with anything else, so I decided that I would dye an old t-shirt too!! Now I have a new outfit with shoes to match!
So does anyone else want to make a new outfit?

Well I made it and lived to tell about it!
This was such an awesome experience now that it is done! I was actually very, very nervous! My good friend, Christina went up with me to show me how everything is done. She does a monthly segment on Good Things Utah, so I am sure that you have seen her before. I was so glad that she went with me and showed me how everything works! Thanks a ton Christina! My daughter also went with us and she is such a great support. I really appreciate her taking the time off work to go! I have such a great support group in my family and friends. Thanks everyone!
The staff at GTU were so great to help me feel a little less nervous. Here I am getting wired up with the microphone.
I am doing Good Things Utah this morning at 10 am MST.
I would love for you to join me!
This is the project that I will be showing, it would make a great gift for Mothers Day, Father’s Day, a Wedding or just for your own home decor!
Here is a really cute, fun, simple little gift idea!
It is great for teacher appreciation, a thank you gift for someone, just thinking about you, or heck, it would be great to just make one for yourself! :)
Remember the chocolate morsels that we wrapped here. Well this is another fun way to use those sweet babies.
