Crafty Weekend

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??
