Friday Night Project

Stuffed Tag Balls

I saw a semi-tutorial on Pinterest for this. It didn't really say much, you can check it out HERE. I figured out the rest as I went along. These were fairly simple to make as well. Which is fun! I cut them out while watching "House Hunters International" and then sewed them up while catching up on an episode of "Bones"! :D

They were fun to make. I may still add some 'crinkle' sounds to the stuffing to make it even MORE appealing. Poor Stephen wanted to watch a movie together and here I am just hunched over my fabric and ribbons saying, "Just want to cut them out. Just want to sew them up."  hehe

He was very understanding and when he saw the end product knew why I was so excited to finish them. Plus, I have a habit of starting something or cutting out a pattern and then never finishing. My mom can attest to that. I think she still has a few items in her sewing room that I cut out and never finished. HAH

She JUST woke up.

So, Addie literally just woke up and I was to excited. As you can tell, she isn't quite sure what to do. hehe.  Plus she is major teething, so nothing seems to make her happy except Tylenol and Blueberries.
It's fun to turn just scrap pieces of fabric and ribbon into something fun for my daughter! 

Her little fingers on the ribbon. LOVE

Craft Time!

Cozy Pillow :)

 Initially I wanted to make a bean bag pillow for Adalynn, but I wasn't able to find bean bag stuffing, and so it turned into a super cozy pillow. Which she loves! She loves to lay her head on it. It's soft and even machine washable (added perk). 

Teething Necklace

 I love this necklace idea! Got this and the rings idea from pinterest! 

Made it with a silky material - actually left over material from my bridesmaids dresses in my wedding! HAH!

It's filled with little bobbles, which are sewn in (no choking hazard, promise!).

Rings!

Filled with Rice

These are simple rings, but they are cute! I filled them with different things, for added fun - stuffing, rice and crinkly plastic.

Just a few things I've been working on and off with :D 

Oh - and feel free to leave comments below too :D

Solution for My Fussy Child

So, Adalynn has been fussy all day. Not sure if it's teething or just wanting to work those lungs (which I have to understand since I like to work my lungs too at times). Anyhoo - I found this idea on pinterest I believe and thought Addie would like it. So simple and we had everything at home! (Well, had to buy $1 hair gel, but that's easy enough.)

* Hair Gel
* Freezer Bag
* Misc. items to put in bag
* Duct Tape (for ours Stephen had this wonderful skull tape that I used, maybe not a great design choice, but the colors are vibrant!)

It turned out well and Addie loves it! I might hang it in the tub so she can play with it while bathing :D
Oh, and yes... those are bed bugs from the game "Bed Bugs" - I have been carting those little, plastic critters around for years!

The Finished Product!

Boy, was she obsessed with it :D

Need an easy/cheap Ironing Board?

Just a boring TV tray... 

I found this idea on Pinterest. Here is a link to how to do this :D

Loved this idea and have used it already! It's perfect!

A useful Ironing Board

Wonderful!

DIY - Outfit Transformation

So, I had bought a very cute outfit for Adalynn. It was on clearance and so cute! Well, it was long sleeves and long pants, much to 'wintery' for Georgia. I had a free moment and decided to make it into a cute spring outfit! Then I even had enough leftover fabric to make a cute headband and extra flower! I love how it turned out too! Actually like it better than the winter look! Cut the sleeves at an angle so they puffed out a bit more :D

She's truly not as disgusted as she looks :D

Happy Adalynn!
