Knee Patches leggings with Heat Transfer Vinyl

Make some cute knee patches using heat transfer stretch vinyl! you can use coordinating colors to make layered vinyl designs. Such a quick and fun project. Thanks for HTV World for supplying the vinyl for this post. All opinions are MY own; I wouldn't share if I didn't like the product :). 

It wouldn't be right to head into springtime without a pineapple project :). I've been wanting to try stretch htv (heat transfer vinyl) for a long time and  knee patches on little girl leggings seemed like a fabulous opportunity!

Small Laundry Room and Bathroom Makeover Week 1 || One Room Challenge

This is the week 1 of the One Room Challenge Spring 2018. We are participating by making over our laundry room AND our small bathroom right next to it. Follow us along the next 6 weeks. 

As we slowly been updating our house, one of rooms I've dying to fix was our laundry room. It was functional with wire shelves above the washer and dryer, but those shelves were wobbly and I could never keep them tidy. 

Mommy and Me Striped and Floral Shirts | January Sewing Challenge

Matching shirts are fun for mama and girl, but hard to find. So why not just make them! They can be easy and quick to make. 

 I really love sewing for my kiddos. There are so many fun and cute things to make for them. Like these dinosaur sweat shirts or these soft play cube toys or this Alphabet matching game, I could go on (see more HERE). But I decided I needed to do a little more sewing for myself, so I made a personal goal in January to sew something for me every month (you can see past things I've made for me HERE).

Last month, I helped my mom throw a baby shower for my two sisters who were due a month apart from each other. As I write this, today was the due date for my older sister, but she was lucky to have her baby a week early. 

DIY Light Sconce Corbel Style IKEA Ranarp Light Hack

I'm finally getting around to posting about my craft room/area lighting. In cased you missed it, last March I shared the finished product of my crafting area (you can go here to see all the pics). One of my favorite parts of the area the DIY lighting we added.

Edible Chocolate Play Dirt and Mini Plastic Trucks

For hours of fun, this edible dirt doesn't have any added sugar and is a great inside activity for cold winter day inside activities or really hot summer day indoor activities. 

I was going through old pictures and came across the kids playing with edible chocolate play dirt. They loved it so much and played with it and their mini plastic trucks for a long time. I even stored it in the fridge for them to play with during the month that I made it. 

The best part is that it's looks like dirt but all of the ingredients are edible and there is no sugar added. Honestly though, the kids didn't want to eat it, but just loved having a place for their mini plastic tractors and mini plastic dinosaurs.

Sometimes I'm really great at getting things done months in advanced and other times I wait until the last minute. Things that really matter, like Valentines day, I can get done way in advanced 😉. Actually, it's mostly been the past few years that I've been on top of things, and mostly because my two oldest understand and constantly ask me about doing Valentines. Last year they picked out Airplanes and Bubbles

Faux Wood Love Letters

These faux wood letters are quick and easy to make for a personalize and modern decoration. Do them for Valentines or use any letters to personalize. 

I don't typically bother with Valentines day decor, mostly because I'm still trying to get over Christmas still. But as my kids have gotten older, they really love to celebrate each holiday and it's fun to put out some decoration for them. 

Well, I saw on Kailo Chic's blog her faux wood love letters and loved the simplicity of them and decided they looked easy enough to make myself. And sure enough, they were super easy! I did do a couple things different than hers though, I painted the outside of the letters white and I used a heart filled with succulents for the 'O'.
