A Super At Home Kind of Day

K saw this months issue of Martha Stewart's Magazine, which I have religiously subscribed to for over 5 years.
Even J has come to like them, although he may not want me to air that.
It is always has great ideas, recipe and easy crafts, like these terrariums.
We make these often but in the winter it is quite nice for a bit of indoor greenery.

I had an old pair of linen pants that I had never worn and found that it would make a great scarf.
I cut it on an angle with a bit of a bow in the strip and double layered it for sturdiness.
I adorned it with some buttons just as much for some flair as a way to weigh down the ends.


Although I made this weeks ago I finally got to taking a picture of it with a willing model.

This is my spontaneous gratitude moment of the day.

E's hair had so much height and with her resistance to brushing today she sported this 'do all day long.

Kept me laughing silently to myself.

And then she proves yet again that she is truly my comedic relief.

As we were heading outside these were her socks and there was no convincing her otherwise.

Another Martha craft for the day was this super easy and quick ruffle ball.

Not the best for young kids as a hot glue gun is required but still a charmer in the end.

The Staff of Life

I love to cook with the kids and truly believe that food and learning the basics in the kitchen is a major life skill in order to make good healthy decisions throughout their lives.

I adore these little fist prints after they punched down the dough.

Stretch.

Making some indentations.

The finished product....MMMMM.

I was desperately in need of some yummy snacks and so out came my trusty recipe folder and we made a large vat of granola.

I saw this cute idea on Design Sponge and finally found the perfect sock to fit the vase.

Quirky and fun.

Now I just need some flowers.

K loves to dress up and always asks for new little treats from my sewing table.

I thought this was a great necklace and she fell in love with it.

Easy to slip on over any shirt and look classy.

I like it in myself as well.

This was the starting point for the above necklace.

I had lots of material left over and made more jewelery but will post that later.

Here is my version for K to wear.

She said she didn't want to stripes and it had to be pink ribbon.

Always so many things to make.
