New cake supplies

So at Joann's last week I talked my husband into buying my the next cake course supply kit. Now I haven't signed up for the class yet, but I wanted all the supplies and I had a coupon that made it half off! So I made flowers this week. The close up pictures came out a little blurry so only two pictures which are group shots.

Last night I made my own fondant and let me tell you it is GOOD! I usually hate fondant but this is a marshmallow one, and so good. So I'm making ribbons this week and prob some more flowers to have on hand for future cakes and cupcakes.

Bathroom Update

So my bathroom is ALMOST complete! I just need to find some new bathmats, and get my vinyl printed. The vinyl will say "If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want- I go to the bathroom." It is by Alicia Keys. And if you know me, you know this saying is so true for me!
I am so excited about this, because This is MY space! My husband doesn't really care for it, but He has his office, I get my bathroom. The rest of the house we have to share.

The Chandelier that I love that my husband hates. Painted, and then mod podged the candle sticks with the fabic.

Sayings for above the mirror. (mod podged the picture frames)

Made two valences, one for each window.

Again Mod podged a magazine rack.

And mod podged more fabic for a drawer liner, and old shoe box lids for dividers.

Had to touch up my Touch N Brush too!

I Have had so much fun doing this. I know that I have driven my husband insane, but oh well. :-)

LIttle Things Giveaway!

So my favorite little thing this week was when my son Noah hid my broom. I turned around and it was missing!
So I asked "Noah, do you know where my broom went?" Noah: "yes, its my closet." Mommy:"why is it in your closet?"Noah: "because it is my flyer!"Mommy: "Your flyer? Do you fly around on it?" Noah: "Yeah!" Mommy: "Who taught you how?"Noah: "Grandma did!"

While on vacation...

So this past week I was given the week off from work. So in order to help get my house under control I thought what better way than to do some crafts and have fun too!

I have been experimenting with Mod Podge. And I have found my new love! It started that I wanted to make a for a present to my boys adopted Mi Ma.... I wanted to make a Photo Rubik Cube. I couldn't find any photos that I liked that would fit. So that project has been put on hold.

And so I had this Mod Podge sitting there saying lets try me!

So I found a site that covered old diaper boxes with scrapbook paper! And I did and the first one didn't come out so pretty. The site showed to make a rounded edge( can't find that site now), and rounded edges are not so easy to cover with ribbon so I skipped that step.














But I have have gone on to cover the ugly sock box for all my loose socks ( I ran out of that ribbon, so its left topless until I get to the store)
















a magazine holder for my bathroom,



















using the beautiful leftover material from my sisters wedding to cover a new box to hold all my purses,














that same material to cover some old star hooks to match my purse box to hold my hats!


I am becoming a Mod Podge Queen!

Jean Skirt

I did it. In one afternoon while Noah watch Super Why and Nicklaus napped. I finally got the jean skirt that i so desperately needed. It was actually pretty simple once all is said and done. I just followed the directions from two sites http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-jean-skirt-out-of-jeans./ and this site http://www.sewing.org/html/jeans_skirt.html. I still might put a panel on the back of the skirt. But I haven't decided for sure yet.
