Halloween wreath

I actually made this wreath last year but I still really love it.  It’s a styrofoam wreath wrapped in black yarn with purple and black felt flowers and a crow from the dollar store.

Halloween Witch Cameo

I love this witch!!  I found her here  http://www.thediaryofdaveswife.com/search/label/Halloween%20Decor.  I did mine a little different.  I cut her out in black paper as a 4×6.  I found the wood at Joann’s for $1.99.  I spray painted the wood black, painted the middle metallic silver and blotted it with tissue paper.  After it dried I painted the middle white, and again blotted it with tissue paper.  After that I spray glued her on.  I was going to use modge podge but decided that the spray glue was enough.  I’m so happy with the way she turned out!  Thanks DavesWife!

Denim Pillow

I have a lot more time on hands since being released as primary president!  I’m able to finish projects and start new ones.  I have a ton to post!  Mike wanted a denim pillow to match his demin blanket that I made him.  I love it!  It was really fast and easy but turned out so cute!

Burlap Tablerunner

I was asked to teach a class on how to make burlap tablerunners for a RS activity.  I was given a picture and went for it!  I can’t decide if I like it. 

The monkey’s get dressed

I didn’t  have time to make the tutu’s so mom and Brook made them and dressed the girls.  So cute!  Now they’re ready to be sold at the CF walk.  All proceeds will go the the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Go Team Simon!

Better late than never!

These two monkey’s missed the party but they’re on their way and should be joining the others today!

Monkey Party!

I love sock monkeys!  These guys are all being shipped to St George to be raffled at the CF walk.  I hope they find good homes!

Something new…

I don’t really need another hobby.  I barely have enough time to fit everything in as it is but… I have decided to learn to crochet a beanie.  This is my first hat in progress.

The lady in the tutorial said that it should be wavy.  I hope it starts to lay down soon because I don’t want to start over!   She made it look so easy.  An update will be coming soon!

Christmas Soap

Shelly and her family came by last night to sing us Christmas carols and she gave me this cute soap that she made.  I love it!  I don’t know what kind it is but it smells really good!

Baptism Towels

When we have baptisms in primary we give each child a baptism towel.  A lady in the ward embroiders the childs name on one side and the date of the baptism on the other. 

So cute!

 I can’t embroider so I make CTR towels.  This one is for my nephew who is getting baptized this weekend.  I love this towel!  This idea came from Shelly.
