Paper Mouse Cutouts - Halloween 2011

19 September 2011

I am getting excited about Halloween, how about you?

Even though I am too busy to decorate..yet- and may be totally late this year, the way this month is flying by already, but I thought it would be fun to show you this fun paper mouse cutout decor idea from Martha. The best part? You can do this with paper... just print her template here.

I was thinking this would look really cute on my new white stair risers! What do you think?

If you like it, don't forget to pin it!

Pin Head Project Party #1

06 September 2011

Welcome to the Monthly Pin-head Project Party!

Okay people let's do this little link party. I am not planning on a tutorial here (sorry)... I simply do not have time right now. We are working on a project with HouseLogic that has a deadline, and we have been up many late hours... and still just scraping by. But hopefully we will be done soon... and on time! But the good news, is that I have found some free audio books online to keep me busy while I was painting, and caulking, and sanding...

But this project has nothing to do with paint... so lets get right down to it. My project the month comes from a post I pinned from mmmcrafts... Let me 'splain... With my first born, Etta, I had a lot of time on my hands and getting quilts crocheted and dresses made was easy. Now with two girls... and this blog. I haven't made much for my second daughter, Lydia.. so I decided that this project would be for her.

I thought it would be fun to make a quilt. And I have been loving the chevron pattern (who doesn't?)... So, I made here a little chevron quilt. I know that it will be fully dated in about 5 years(both colors and style), but I love it right now, and that is all that matters. (besides, maybe when she has children of her own it will be retro?!)

I am a lazy seamstress so it isn't prefect, and I haven't finished quilting it...but it looks cute, so i happy.

What do you think?

Okay so I also have an addiction to pinning (and making) dessert recipes...

and so far I have tried my fair share, but the most recent and favorite one is this:

Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookies from Creative Kitchen

They are fast easy and perfect!

I made some the first day and then stuck the dough in the fridge, they were even better the next day since the dough didn't melt out so much... so the verdict is, the longer the dough is in the fridge the better...

I am a Pin-head! The Pinhead Project

01 August 2011

I told you the other day I would explain a little idea I had and here it goes.

I have been on Pinterest a little too much, I pretty much have like 8,000 pins or something. And that means that I need to start using these ideas, and not just be a hoarder. I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to do a project a day for a month..." then I got realistic... and thought "Once a week..." and then I woke up from that dream and realized, "Once a month... and it was just right!"

Okay, so here is the deal, I am going to try to do one project a month from my Pinterest boards. Because I know myself and my hectic life, I am not excluding testing a recipe, or even dressing up, meaning no paint clothes (maybe if I had to show you pictures of the junk in my trunk, all decked out to the nines I would be more motivated to get back on track) But seriously I will probably want to keep it more along the lines of what this blog is all about. BUT each month on the first Monday I will be having a special Pin-head Project Party say that 5 times fast! I am hoping you will join in... (we are going to be shaking things up around here for the next little while, I am feeling bored!- not that I have nothing to do, but that I need some fresh goals )

So next month come show us what projects you've been inspired by on Pinterest. I'll get you more info as the date gets sooner, for now, pick a project, and get working so you can post about it!

For now, I think I will show you some beautiful kitchens that I have found on Pinterest, since it is unofficially kitchen remodel week at Remodelaholic!
