Crafting done light.....

Hold the applause.... please... stop..... really.... OK, OK, OK.....

I know that I told ya'll that I have been crafting, and I have, nothing original, nothing that is going to change the world, but it gives me an outlet and something that I can post about....

(As you can tell I am pretty self deprecating at times.....)

Miss. S can tear thru new jeans faster than a boy, and with the high cost of jeans, I needed a way to preserve some of them, either to wear out or for play.....

So I took my idea for making appliques and used it for making patches.... we can NOT have ordinary patches for our jeans, now can we......

First take some jeans that are starting to look like this....

Iron on some WICKED awesome patches and you have come up with this....

We made some 4 leaf clovers so she could have her own pair of "Lucky" pants...

Every girl needs a pair of pants with some leopard on it.....

These are my faves.... I like the little birdie design and we decided to add a whimsical touch with the stitching between the two birds....

I have a motto for my girls... everything is better with a bow on it.... and since bows can be super expensive, I have tried my hand at making my own..... Miss. S is still at the age where she enjoys wearing bows in her hair and I want to keep her little as long as I can.....

Baby O needed some boggins for the cold weather we are having and I could not find any that fit her right or were super cute...... so I found these baby hats at Wal-Mart and decided that they would do, but they were too boring, so we needed to jazz them up a bit, and as we know everything is better with a bow on it.......

My mom loves wreathes and with every changing season or holiday we have to have a new wreath..... right now I am really into turquoise and burnt orange and she found poinsettias at Hobby Lobby that were in both of those colors....... we saw this idea for 3 wreaths on your door instead of just one, and apparently we took it to heart, and this is what she came up with..... she also made a spray to go over my mailbox, but I am a lame-o and did not take a picture....

Last, but definitely not least, we come back to Baby O.... she will only use the Soothie Paci that she got at the hospital.... and they are great, only problem is that the paci clip that soothie makes is HUGE and too heavy..... well, I knew I needed to come up with something, because Baby O had figured out how to spit out her paci at alarming speed and distance, so we came up with these......

Ok, so this post took me 2 days to get done.... now I am off to do laundry and fold laundry and think about laundry........YEA ME !!!!!
