Fireworks in a jar...

So today we have a quick little blurb for you. Blurbs are nice... perfect for an end of the day craft!!!

The Most Vibrantly Dyed Eggs!

It's Angela again this week, as Tash forgot alllll about posting. ;) I just so happens that I had a bit of fun today that deserves posting. I've had little luck getting gorgeous colors out of egg dyeing kits or the kool-aid method. So when I found this nifty little chart on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it. I love that it tells you how much water/vinegar and exactly how many drops of what color to use.

Chalk Ice!

If your kids love sidewalk chalk, then this is something awesome, easy, and cheap to surprise them with! They're good, cold, fun on a hot summer day. Simply mix half cornstarch and half water, add food coloring, and pour into ice cube trays or molds to freeze. Once frozen, these can be used like sidewalk chalk, just cold! Little ones have fun banging them on the sidewalk and watching the streams they make as they melt. I've seen this on Pinterest several times, but I'm not sure of the original source, so much thanks to whoever came up with this idea!

Fairy Gardens...

Hey.
Yea yea yea, I missed last week. I'll be lucky if this post makes it before midnight at the rate of my days.
I'm not *done* with the blog. I just have been really busy. And I missed the first friday ever. And Angela hasn't let me live it down... at all. She poked and prodded and teased herself giddy when she got back from her vacation. So, onwards.

My mother made a fairy garden a few weeks ago... cute eh??

Here Comes Penny Cottontail!

I can't believe it's Easter in less than a month already! It seems like just yesterday a certain someone pitched the idea of sharing a weekly craft blog while I was slaving over three dozen Christmas crafts

Mini-Rain Chain

So rain-chains came up in my most recent spring-craft search.
 I saw this post and realized I had all those things on hand...

So! I really want to get a bit stronger wire I think. And I'd like to make one to hang in moms flower garden, perhaps for mothers day. But for now, I made a tiny one for my shepherds hook outside.


First Supplies. My son wanted the beads so we added beads.

1st Birthday Tutu!

This week, I made this totally adorable diy tutu for a friend's daughter's first birthday! I spent a lot of time overthinking the process and was over-complicating it in my head, so I finally searched out a tututorial. It helped a lot and the results were completely no-sew and absolutely adorable! I've made many tutus in the past, but this is definitely the first one in this particular style. I love it! This is the wonderful tutorial that I used to create it.
