Upcycled Bottle
Yarn Art as I like to call it.
This was a piece that I did a while back that I would like to share with everyone. This was an old bottle we had lying around and it was just something that really did not look very attractive. I am not saying that this made it look anymore attractive, but I like to think that it’s at least an improvement. I used a bunch of left over yarn shrivels to decorate this and used hot glue to secure it on to the bottle. This project was pretty fun but I suggest some sort of finger guard to protect from the not glue. My poor finger tips were pretty tore up after completion.
I really love to upcycle old stuff, or reuse something. As a mom on a budget I like to save money where ever I can. Here is another Upcycled idea I did with my little boys old baby bottles.
I am a color fanatic so almost everything I own is color coded. All my sewing thread is color coded by hue.
Well I am glad that I shared some of these ideas with you. I know I am not the first to think of either of these ideas but never the less I always like to share. Soon I will be decorating the covers to all my containers. I will update these and share how they look after their sweet little makeover.
Make sure you take a look below to see some of the upcoming projects that I will be finishing or working on in the near future.
Happy Crafting
Up coming projects…….
A work in Progress.
My First Quilt Cont…..
Well this is definitely my work in progress and after some minor surgery on it lol I think I can get back on to the roll of things. I am new to the sewing and quilting world so I knew when I jumped into making a quilt for my 2 project that I was going to come across some issues. I have since figured out my mistake and can’t wait to keep going on this one. I really like the way this is starting to come together. I am unsure of how I will actually quilt this in terms of quilting design. If anyone has any suggestions please I would love to hear them. hopefully I will have this finished by the end of the month.
Happy Quilting
Delighted!
Hi everyone! I am completely delighted to have this opportunity to reach out to so many people and share crafts, as well as working with Stephanie in brainstorming and giving you great projects ideas! Because I am so delighted to be here, I thought it would be fitting to give you one of my favorite delights…
Oreo Torte Delight
1 pkg Oreos crushed (save 1 cup for topping)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powder sugar
16 oz cool whip
5.9 oz box instant chocolate pudding
Make crust by mixing all but one cup crushed Oreos and 1 stick of melted butter and pressing into a 9×13 pan. Combine softened cream cheese, 8 oz cool whip, powder sugar and blend well. Smooth over crust. Make instant chocolate pudding according to directions on package. Smooth over cream cheese mixture. Take remaining 8 oz cool whip and spread over top of pudding. Garnish with crushed Oreos. Refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.
YUMMY!! A bit messy and very sinful, next time I’ll have a healthier recipe!
By the way, February is ‘Bake for Family Fun Month’ and even though this recipe isn’t baked, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!!
Until next craft…

Valentine Beaded Garland
Here is a good one for the kiddo’s to do.
As we are starting to get our first Valentine’s Day Tree decorated I was thinking about what we should decorate it with…Yes this did take me a minute seeing how I have never decorated a tree for any holiday other than Christmas. So the hunt was on…My lil boy and I started going through all my crafting drawers looking for anything that we could associate with the grand holiday of LOVE. I opened one of the drawers and there staring me in the face is 2 sandwich bags filled with plastic heart beads. I sat and pondered for a bit and then remembered how much fun Jesse had stringing Cheerios this past christmas. So we sat down and I put one of my dull yarn sewing needles onto a string and Jesse went to town. He had so much fun. He even asked the next day he asked if we could get more beads. I very much take advantage of the time I have with him when it’s still cool to do crafts with mom. HaHa.
I am really looking forward to finishing our Valentine Tree among some other great Valentine’s Day.
Have a great day
