SPRING FEVER

I don't know what it is about Spring Time, but usually when Spring rolls around I get the urge to craft or sew. Over the past two weeks I have done both! Since I have absolutely zero Easter decorations, I completed two projects over the past two weeks. The first one was a Egg Garland. You use Paint chip samples and cut out ovals to represent eggs and then string them together. My garland turned out great and I was so excited to display it along my fire place mantle.

I had quite the ordeal making my Egg Garland because I first cut out my ovals they were really crooked and I hated them. Luckily I had a friend who had a Coluzzle cutting pattern and I ended up going back and re-cutting them. It took a lot of time but the perfectionist in me wanted to do it right.

Also, when it came to picking out my paint sample chips, I headed to Home Depot with the kids. It is always an adventure when I take my kids out in public. While gathering a huge stack of paint samples and putting them in my purse, Kaleb in a very loud voice says to me, "MOM, WHY ARE YOU TAKING THOSE? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING THEM IN YOUR PURSE? YOU ARE STEALING THOSE MOM!"

I quickly told him that I wasn't stealing them because they were free!!! However, I had several other customers check out my stack of paint chips and give me a funny look. I felt extremely guilty the remainder of the time we were in the store!!!

I promise that I don't steal- PAINT CHIP SAMPLES ARE FREE!!! :)

(just in case you needed to be reminded)

Needless to say my Egg Garland was almost a free craft (thank you Home Depot paint department) minus the cost for the ribbon to string it up with!

The next project I completed was some cute Easter Wood Blocks. There are a couple of gals in my neighborhood that put together a craft night every month. For the month of March we did this craft.

I was really proud of how mine turned out and it is proudly being displayed on my Piano!

My last craft came about as I was looking for ribbon for my Egg Garland. I was at Hobby Lobby and they had their cute Easter Fabric for 30% off. I couldn't resist and bought a yard to make Karmindy a cute little Easter/Spring Sun Dress!

Here is my cute little spring chick modeling her new halter maxi dress. I think she may have a future in modeling! What do you think?

 Cheese-tastic!

 Work it Girl!

Attitude!
