DIY Advent Calendar Ideas


All growing up, I looooved the 
Advent Calendar we got from my grandparents
or parents. You know, the card board ones that 
you opened the little window and there was a chocolate
waiting in there for you, EVERYDAY until Christmas.
It was such a dream come true for a kid.

DIY Print on to Fabric to Make Appliques

Supplies
Its that time again, craft time.
I often get a crafting itch. It comes after,
"Ahhh! My life is crazy, I need to make something!"
This time, I thought I would try printing an image 
from my computer, thats right, through my printer,
on to fabric.
Craziness?? You better believe it!

Monster Baby

 I made this guy along with the crinkle toy 
the other night for the baby shower,

I made it to go along with this little cute monster suit.
I found the suit at Target, but I bought it a while ago, before Halloween
I saw it and couldnt resist. I think they're all
sold out now. It is possible though, that
if you found one on clearance it would be a steal of a deal.

Since Thanksgiving is literally RIGHT around the 
corner, you have got to decorate for that sucker..

An old wreath frame (previously wrapped in yarn for a diff project),
some cinnamon pine cones from last years holidays, some
fabric flowers, a few silk flowers and leaves, and phone book
pages.

Thanksgiving Table Scapes

Happy November Everyone!!
Hope you're all up and well and 
recovering from the candy hang-over.
I know Im trying, as I had to restrain myself from
eating candy for breakfast. But I did let my son have
candy this morning before breakfast. I was really tired
ok? Besides, I like to consider myself a "fun mom."
To get us in the spirit of Giving Thanks
I have compiled a few glorious TG table scapes.
