Glue Yarn Balls

If you are not already signed up for Pinterest, you must get signed up. There are so many great ideas and Pinterest is a way to share and save all the ideas you come across while browsing the web. I followed the instructions in this pin for making glue yarn balls. This is a perfect outside project because it is extremely messy.

Materials needed: yarn, balloons, glue and water. All you do is wrap yarn around a balloon that has been soaked in the glue/water mixture. Let sit over night or until dry. Then pop and remove the balloons and you are done. Time to start decorating.

January Birchbox

I have anxiously been waiting for a little box of goodness and it finally arrived today. My January Birchbox was waiting for me in my mailbox.
January’s box focuses on clarity. I received some night cream, eye serum, fragrance sample and nail polish. I am excited to try the Befine night cream which is for improved skin tones. I also like the grayish-purple nail polish so much I already have it on.
LARABAR – Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
VMV Hypoallergenics – Re-Everything: Eye Serum
Befine – Night Cream
Zoya – Nail Polish in Megan
Juicy Couture fragrance sample

Project: Bathroom Organization

I'm pretty sure I completed a similar bathroom organization within the last year, yet once again it is out of control. I'm going to make another vow to keep the space organized.

This is the messy space before. Filled with items I use, don't use, and that belong somewhere else.
Step 1: Acknowledge there is a problem. (Check!)

Step 2: Pull everything out and begin to organize and throw away. (Check!)
Step 3: Add the newly organized containers back in. (Check!)
Step 4: Admire finished product and keep it organized. (Check!)



Easy project that took under an hour and was free. I already had the baskets (which were only $1 from the dollar store).

Just in time for the holidays

What can you make from all of the cute holiday fabrics like these?



Really cute custom applique onesies/shirts like these.

My favorite is the onesie with the attached skirt.
