Head on over to Shelly's Blog and check out her Dishtowel Twirly Skirt Tutorial and all the other adorabl things that she does! Enjoy!
Pottery Barn Felt Pillows
Hello ladies! Sorry it has been a few days since I posted anything but the little muchkin has been sick so it has been a little hectic over here. However, while she was laying on the couch I was able to address all 90 of my Christmas cards and I am mailing them tomorrow! Woo Hoo! Sorry mom for rubbing it in your face.
While on this home hiatus I found an awesome new blog called Cupkateer. She does things from crafts to cupcakes (hence the name) and I love everything she does. I wanted to showcase an awesome project that she did based off of the Pottery Barn Felt Pillows. I was so excited about this because this is what my mother-in-law and I do. We rummage through the Pottery Barn catalog and tag the pages we like. We then go out and find a similar version of what we want and create our own for a fraction of the price. (Check out my Halloween Candle Decor post which we did just that).
Here is the Pottery Barn pillows that sell for 39 dollars
Here is the Cupkateer Version that costs 5 dollars to make
As you can see they are super adorable and cost way less to make! I love this idea and I am going to run out tomorrow and get the supplies to make my own! So if you want you own version of Pottery Barn Felt Pillows for a price normal people can afford that head on over to Cupkateer. I know I will everyday to see the cute projects she comes up with! Enjoy!

Blog Backgrounds!
So as you can all see I make my own blog backgrounds. I just started figuring out how to do it but I wanted to try and make some generic ones for you to snag. I have so many cute graphics and papers that I have aquired from some fantastic fellow bloggers that I will name when I attempt to make these blog backgrounds. I hope to have the first one up soon but it depends on how quickly I can learn the correct formatting for you to snag them! Looking forward to sharing with you!

Live in the Moment
I saw this idea on somewhatsimple and I just had to share it! She loves this saying but did not like the picture so she made it her own. I took that same concept and make it my own as well. I still need to print it and frame it but I love the way it turned out!

My Next Project
So I have kind of been in a funk lately and have not been able to think of any new and cute craft ideas. So I set out on a mission to find a cute idea from all my fellow mom crafters out there and I think I have found it! My friend is the one who originally e-mailed me and once I found the original link I have discovered so many sights that have done this since it is so cute.
It is called "Family Rules Canvas." It is a cutem fun way to display your "family rules" of the house. I am so excited to try it out and will post as soon as I can find a canvas, since I always re-furbish them from thrift stores). If you would like to make your own, check out the awesome tutorial at The Pleated Poppy

Veterans Day Custom Photo Graphic
So I was thinking of a cute way to say thank you to my hubby on this Wednesday, Veterans Day. My hubby served for 5 years in the military and this is his first Veterans Day since he has been out so I wanted to make it special. As I was making this photo graphic I thought how cute it would be to make it a custom offer! I am offering this free since this is my first one. I can customize it to 2 or 3 pictures and change the saying at the bottom if you want it personalized (Daddy, Hubby, etc.) Just e-mail me at thecraftygirl_09@yahoo.com with the details and I'll make it as soon as I can! Enjoy and Happy Veterans Day!
