Second Feature....Tulle Wreath via Cox's Corner!

I watched Craft Wars (recorded) as I prepared these posts. They mentioned that as crafters- we prepared for holidays all throughout the year. That, my friend, is true. It might be because we are trying to keep readers interested- to stay ahead of the "curve", to be prepared with ideas for when it does come...to be able to budget time and/or money to make it happen. We just may be excited and want everything to come together "just so". Whatever reason....Cox's Corner delivers on thinking ahead for next year.
 
I love the reflection of the flag in the wreath...it inspires me! It may just find it's way into OTHER areas of my house...or my kids clothes....or MY clothes!

D-I-T: Inspired Glitter Bow via Mary Jane & Galoshes


It seemed GLITTER was all over the blog-o-sphere this week. Including THIS unbelievable tutorial from MaryJane and Galoshes! It was beautiful and almost surreal at how simple it was.  Having two girls with hair- I HAD to try it!

Here is a bow my 10 year-old made. All by herself. I love that. I love that she can make her own things and let me work. Most of the time.

We followed the suggestions and purchased Martha Stewart's glitter. Since I had high hopes for this here craft and another one to post on Turning This Into That...I figured I'd go all the way.

The decision was made on which glitter we thought was the best match...my four year-old a little disappointed that her sister didn't pick the slime-green glitter.

We simply {SIMPLY!} styled the bow and sprayed it with craft adhesive - Much to the Craft War judges dismay. (My husband mentioned that as he passed through the room and I'm not sure how to feel about it.)

We moved them to a spot that didn't have a lot of surface area for them to stick to and let them dry.

And there you have it. We'll attach these beauties to some cute clips and be on our way to having a fully-stocked hair arsenal this fall.

Orange Almond Cupcakes ala Lauren's Latest!

I made the picture extra big so that I can pretend they are sitting on my counter.
YUM-M-M-OOOH.
And because they have ORANGE AND ALMONDS they qualify as a FRUIT and a PROTEIN. {Cause I said.}
Cause it's Friday.
The END.

Don't forget the GLITTER link-up tomorrow morning.
I'd love to see you. :)

DIY Color Block Necklace from Orange Tree Studio

It's not Wednesday, it's Thursday.
 {Mostly for me because re-reading this will knock me off the proper rotation.}
Seeing this necklace made me {gasp!} for air! Mainly because this is something I can do AND it's completely stylish and hip. 
And I'm pretty proud of myself that it still 'goes' with the weekly theme. 'ORANGE Tree Studio' really made a nice one HERE.
Loving it, loving it. Should be doing it, doing it....

Orange You Glad We're Doing ORANGE?

I have a blog-stalker-crush on House of Hepworths. Totally true and totally not worth denying. She is awesome- EPIC, even- to steal her word.
Here's an awesome project I need to tackle...and in a color I'd love to use!  I love the print, the floor-to-ceiling style and that they are ORANGE! Go check them out...she has tutorials, before and after shots and EVERYTHING!
