I'm sewing again!!!

I was so excited to get my sewing machine out today and sew a little makeup bag that I am going to give as gifts. I did not record the process because I followed the step by step on the blog below. She did a great job of explaining it and it took me only 45 minutes each. I also added a flower rosette that I made out left over fabric. I thought they turned out cute!

Now go and make one for yourself!!!

Dollar Store Centerpiece

So although I like my centerpiece on our dining room table I thought that I would spruce it up with an idea that I saw on pinterest...you will see a trend on how I get a lot of my ideas. So here is my current centerpiece.

Below I bought some items at Dollar Tree. Three candle sticks, super glue, and religious candles (not sure what they are called but that is how I refer to them) three vases and a couple bags of split peas. Two of my vases were different, so I used the one that was different for the middle one.

Put a bead of super glue along the top of the candle stick and set your vase on top

I then put the religious candle inside as added weight and then went and did some laundry, because I am impatient and knew I would move it before it was dry...probably about 10 minutes.

I poured the split peas around the candle and put them on the table. I also thought coffee beans would be neat too and smell amazing. The best part is you can change it for any season and when the candle burns out you just head to Dollar tree and get some more!!!

Not glamorous...but a nice change!

You could even take the candles out and fill them with flowers!!

A little Pinterest Inspired Crafting

A wreath I found at Goodwill for $1! Added some felt flowers...and there you have it! You can expect to see more wreaths in the future...I think I am addicted!

I know the picture isn't great, but its the best my poor phone will do, and my digital camera decided to finally die on me. I have been wanting to get more organized with my meal planning to make my life more easy, so when I saw a post on Pinterest I decided to finally get organized. Plus it only took me five minutes and zero $$. Printed the days of the week on pretty paper and put it into an photo frame that I already had. Now the Hubs knows whats for dinner!

I LOVE wine, and always save our bottles to do something crafty with. I saw a post for wrapping them in yarn. It turned out really pretty and added some felt flowers. (kind of obsessed with them too!)

Well this is my first blog, so it is short and sweet!
