Some beginning fall crafts

Hope to make more soon. But last weekend little man wanted to "make something with something" so of course I would never ever deny him the opportunity to create. So he and I made some fall crafts. Loved the lanterns. And I already had everything I needed to make them at home ! 

Police theme baby shower !

My very dear friend is pregnant with a baby boy. Her husband is in law enforcement and we tried to encorporate that into her shower. This was one of the most fun things to make stuff for!  I made the banners and the police car diaper cake. Not just any diaper cake. It was actually a freaking car. Yes. It was amazing. My proudest moment lol. 

Half and half Infiniti scarves !

Definitely more work but still a lot of fun and doable. Since I'm not ready to tell everyone else if you read my blog you will be the first to know: I am going to open up a fb page , etsy and Instagram for my crafts and creations so I can sell them!!! 

I'm waiting on my logo to be finished and a few other projects to finish up to list a bunch at once. 

Influenster delivery!!!

We have been trying out our new #brauntherms that we got from www.influenster.com to test out. My son is very happy that he doesn't have to get poked or have something in his ear. ESP if he has a cold when his ears hurt. It's been very user friendly and accurate so far!  Would definitely recommend it if you're in the market for a new thermometer. 

New sewing craft!

I have been following this creative mama's blog. She has super cute 20 minute craft posts!

My Infinity scarves were the first one that I tried and now I tried this one with dish towels! 

Check out her blog if you want instructions!! 

More toddler car entertainment ideas

Tried to make some more stuff to entertain in the car. Felt Velcro chain. Clothespin color matching pie 

The clothespin thing was ok. Lasted like 5 min though. 

 The only real big hit was the fishing pole and the foam magnetized 

 fish. He still asks to play with it even after the road trip. 

So easy anyone can do it.

Trying to come up with some last minute ideas for this road trip we are about to embark on. Good thing is that one way we will be traveling at night but even one way can be hell. 

Made some counting sticks as he is learning to count in school. I'll let ya know if he enjoys them or throws them out the window 

I had more trouble deciding on WHAT to put on them than actually  doing it. I was trying to decide if shell casings

And wine corks were appropriate to use

Lol #momoftheyear

More Infiniti scarves!!

I was on a roll today!!! It was so much fun! I  am gonna try two toned (two colors in 1 scarf) and then I will be ready to learn to learn to do something new. 

Learned to sew!!!!

I am super excited that two of my friends  taught me how to sew and now I am able to create this super cool infinity scarf! (Super cute easy and and cheap Christmas gift FYI) I was inspired by and used some of the instructions from the blog post from little bit funky

I also was able to fix and finish the toddler pillow that I started when I first got my machine! 

Bridal showers

It may not be considered crafty but I have been designing decorations and Favors for the bridal showers I have been hosting! 

The silverware holders are upcycled from soup cans ! 

I came up with all of these centerpieces and place settings too :-) 

Hard to see but I put together all these pails of favors , made the tags for them and designed the lantern decorations. 

Bento supplies!!

Bento supplies in case you wanted to see all the goodies that are out there!!! 

My new obsession! Bento lunches!

So I have learned about bento lunches and decided to use my craftiness to try them out on my 2 year old. If he's not enjoying them oh well I'm having fun making them. Here are some of  my creations !
