Last weekend hubby left me to go on a guys golfing trip to St. George. Honestly I was a little excited to have the whole weekend to myself because that meant I could craft!! I had lots of projects planned out and I accomplished most of them.
First off I am a total blog stalker and when I found
this tutorial I had to give it a try. It was actually really easy and I thought it turned out cute. I made this headband out of one of my daughter's old shirts. Isn't it cute!!
I found
this tutorial and absolutely fell in love with the felt flowers. They were really easy to make and really cheap. You could make 3 flowers out of 1 $.25 sheet of felt. I put the dark red one on a hair clip but I am still trying to decide what to do with the others. I actually made a pink one as well but I think one of daughters carried it off because I can't find it anywhere :)
I have been wanting to try out some Modge Podge for a very long time. I have actually never used the stuff before but I had seen lots of cool projects using it and figured it was time. So I started out easy and made some clothespin magnets. Modge Podge was very easy to use and I thought my magnets turned out great! Although I am going to confess that I made six magnets but didn't realize that the magnet had to be glue on a certain way for the magnet to be facing out so the other 3 don't stick to the fridge - they just slide right off. Well I now I know better for next time! (Plus notice the spelling test that my sweet Allie got 100% on PLUS the bonus word. Go Allie!!)
The majority of my time was spent finishing up my Project 365 scrapbook. I finally have all of the pictures in layouts I just need to finish the indexing in the back of the book and I will be all finished. I have really enjoyed this project and I am excited to show off the finished project.
I did try my hand at another blog tutorial
here but it did not turn out cute at all so I didn't take any pictures. But I think I know what I did wrong so I am going to take another crack at it another time. So keep an eye out for it. Hopefully I can make it as cute as the one shown in the tutorial. I think that one is just sooooo cute!
So I think my weekend was a huge success. When my husband got home on Saturday the house was far from clean but I had lots of finished projects to show off! So honey when is the next golf weekend??
