I know everyone has heard of this and pretty much everyone I know is addicted to it! I LOVE Pinterest. However, I think it has made me realize how uncrafty I really am. I mean I can follow directions good but people that came up with the original pins. They are just genius when it comes to crafting. Anyway, I thought I’d share a favorite recipe and the newest craft I have made. I was going to share all the recipes I have made but there are a lot of them so this one is easily a go to on a regular basis.
Easy Fried Rice with Sweet and Sour Chicken…This comes up often on our weekly menu.
The latest craft I have made is our tree skirt! The original idea came from here. Here is a picture of hers.
And here is mine…
This is the first ruffle. I started the process on Friday night. The full first ruffle got put on Saturday afternoon. Then I went and took a nap…ha. Of course I had to work that night.
I finished the rest today. It really did not take that long once I got started. You know in-between taking care of a baby.
The fabrics I used. Our Christmas tree is very traditional colors so I chose very traditional colored fabrics.
Here is the skirt under our tree. I just love it so much. I need a new topper but have yet to find stuff that I want so for now a crooked star is there. HA!
Oh and the skirt was not necessarily hard to make but it was very tedious and time consuming. I also ended up with 2 blisters from burning my thumb and forefinger. Totally worth it. Although I will not be making another one any time soon.
I found this on Pinterest too…It will be my next tattoo!
I am absolutely not changing my mind. I would already have it but I am waiting on Korbyn to wean. That could be a while so I have a lot of time to possible change my mind but I hope I don’t…HA!
There are so many more things I love on Pinterest. I want to do them all. I just have to come up with some money. Ha!
I will leave you with this…
Happy 7 month birthday to this little guy! I need to do a post soon on what all he is up to. Maybe tomorrow…
