Pinterest - My new obsession!

I stumbled upon Pinterest several months ago and I have become totally obsessed. I love seeing all of the fun ideas and it has helped me be so crafty! If you would like an invite, leave me your email and I'll invite you. It is so much fun! Here are three of the projects I have made:

This project is made with perler beads. We have a million of these. We love making little projects with them. Go here to see the original idea. It is in another language, so if you want to try it you will need to get a bowl that can go in the oven, spread oil all over the inside and then place your beads in. Next stick in the oven on 400 degrees. Caleb's bowl (on the left) was only put in for a few minutes while Gavin's was left in the oven. We forgot about it, but like how it turned out.


Lyla's nap mat.... The inspiration can be found here. I didn't copy it exactly, because I have a problem with following directions, but I love how it turned out!
The mat...

The mat rolled up and the tiny quilt front made with the scraps...

The back of the quilt...


Another project with the boys - go here to see original idea. I just happened to have a couple of canvases, so we pulled out some tape and paints and got to work.

Both boys taped their designs. They filled in each shape with the color of their choice and then we waited. The waiting took the longest.

Finally, one the paint was dry, we took off the tape and saw the masterpiece! These are now hanging in my laundry room. I love them.

My first quilt

I DID IT! I FINALLY finished my first quilt.
I actually started making it on Memorial day last year. In just under a year I'm done! Ha! It really DID NOT take me that long at all. I worked on it the one day in May and then life went on, I put it up and got busy with other projects. this week I got it out and sewed the border on, washed it and I'm loving it!!!!

It was super easy to make. I used the Stampin' Up bigshot to cut out all of my blocks and designs. I love how it turned out. What do you think?
