Spring Break Week

I love Spring!  It is my most favorite season!  I took the kids to the library this morning.  I snapped these awesome pictures while I was there in the parking lot.

We have blue sky and no rain!  I am so excited!

And a close up of the beautiful spring blossoms!

This is our beautiful green grass in the backyard.  I wish our front yard was as green and as beautiful as this!  I think the teens need to get the mower to work and mow the lawn!

A local farm close by home.

A rainbow for me is always a little piece of Heaven.  This was taken driving down the freeway this past weekend.

Just a little bit of home for me.  Home being the greater Seattle/Tacoma area.

Have a great Spring Break week.  What are you going to do with kids this week while they are out of school?

Lucky Penny & Wood Craft

Happy Monday to you all!  I hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was busy finishing up school work and spending time with family.  I know nothing exciting!

This is the front!  Here's the back!

The block is also turned on the side!  Everything was cut out with the Cricut.  I also made these lucky penny candle.

The candle craft was Pintrest inspired.  You can find this lucky penny craft here.  Just remember it is inspired.  When I used double stick tape it didn't work for me, the pennies fell off.  I tried something else but can't remember what it was. I ended up using super glue gel to get the pennies stick to the glass.  I need to make this craft for me since this was for my craft swap and went to my friend Jennie in Georgia.

Hope you all have an awesome Monday!

Craft Groove for St. Patty's Day

I've been staying busy with school work, for the kids and me, and trying to do some crafts.  I joined a craft swap with a St. Patty's day theme the beginning of the year.  I have absolutely loved seeing everyone's crafts they have made.  Here's what I made.

This is one of those hang-over-the-oven-handle towels.  The towel itself came from The Dollar Tree, both fabrics came from JoAnn's and the ribbon too.  This was a Pintrest inspired project that I started last year.  They are really easy to make.

Cute huh? These are microfiber towels.  Don't heat the iron up too hot to press the fabric once it's been sewed.  The heat will melt the towel!

Looks like the oven needs some cleaning!  I made a few other things, a wood & scrapbook craft and a lap quilt.  I will share those in another post.

What have you made or doing for St. Patty's day?

Team Spirit!

While we're on the subject of the Super Bowl I thought I'd show off my new hoodie!  I know it's not official NFL wear, but it is nice and warm and cozy!  I bought it in town at one of the street vendors that popped up all through town right before the championship game.

And here we are in our Seahawk gear all decked out after church!  Yes the hubby went to church wearing his jersey and tie just like that!  Some teenager booed him, but I think he was just jealous.  The kid was hanging with a bunch of other teens that had on jerseys and other team spirit colors!

Did you do anything fun for the big game?  I hope this 12 Man Fan Spirit transfers over to some Mariner Mojo fan spirit!  Wouldn't it be great to have another winning team from Seattle!  I love me some baseball!

Super Bowl, super crafts!

This month has flown by!  I can't believe it is almost over!  I made a hat for my teenager to take to school to sell to make some money back in January.  My hubby ended up showing a picture of it to a coworker and it kind of turned into a hat making business for a few days, 6 hats later and 100 bucks!

 

Seahawk colors!  Go Seattle!

 

I used this baby! Pretty simple.  There's lot's of video's online how to use this round loom.  Even my 6 year old can use it!  He's pretty crafty!

 

 

 

 

Also, I made one of these. This is the start of an infinity scarf.

 

 

 

 

Add in another color!

 

 

 

 

And another! Tada!

 

 

 

 

My baby calls this the loopy-doopy scarf.

 

I wish I took a picture of all the food we had for our Super Bowl party!  Oh and here's the chair my hubby broke when we stole the ball from the Bronco's and made a huge touchdown!

 

 

 

Hope you've been having a great month!

 

 

Valentine's Cards

Last year I joined a card swap group of ladies here in town.  Once a month we get together to swap cards we made for a specific theme.  This last month, January was a love theme.  I made my cards for Valentine's day.  Nice, easy, simple. Supplies I used, cardstock, printed heart paper, adhesive and stickers.

Super easy to make!

My kindergartener helped make these!

And a close up!  Inside the cards are blank, so you could write a little love note to the one you love! When I find my cards I received I will post them!  It could be a while! I have a feeling they grew legs and are hiding from me!

I hope you liked this post and come back again for something fun!  I need to head back to the books and get things done for my math class tonight!

What are you doing for Valentine's day?

Catch y'all later!

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a safe and happy New Year!  The last few months for me has been full of quizzes, tests, note taking and taking care of sick kids!  For my birthday I got a gift card for a book store, which I just spent online.  The books shipped today which I can't wait for!  I am excited!  The books are for my embroidery machine.  I need to do some more learning about it so I can put it to good use instead of having projects that get messed up because of whatever mistake I made.  I was told there is a big learning curve when first introduced to the embroidery world.  I will share with you the books as soon as I get them! (This is so exciting for me, better than Christmas!)

This New Year's eve we will be driving teens to a big dance and bar-b-que in the new year with some awesome food.  Also some fireworks!

What do you do to ring in the new year?  Are you making any New Year's Resolutions or goals this year?
