Pictures Make Me Happy

I finally figured out how to post pictures with blog posts.  You would think it would be easy.  I should have been.  I was doing what I was supposed to, but for some reason my laptop wouldn't let me.  So today I used our desktop and guess what.  It worked without any problems at all!  Yeah!  Now if I could figure out how to edit them I'd be beyond happy.

Quick, Easy, No Sew Sock Octopus!

Image
My daughter loves to make creations out of old socks. A while ago I actually bought her some cute stripped ankle socks that she could use to craft with. (Her older sister did snag a pair or two to actually wear!) The other day we were searching Pinterest for a fun craft idea to do together when we came across a cute octopus stuffed animal. There were no instructions just a link to an Etsy shop. (They octopus was no longer available.) My daughter immediately thought of that stash of socks and it was decided. Obviously, longer socks would have been better. If we make these again I will be buying cute knee socks! Since there were no instructions and we were using ankle sized socks, we had to come up with our own way of making these cute little sea creatures. We started by using Poly-Fil to make the head. It worked out best when we kind of shaped it into a ball before putting it into the toe of the sock. We filled them until we got the desired shape and firmness. We used a ...

Hello Again!

It has been a very long time since I last wrote! I can't believe that it has been more than a year! I don't know why it's been so long. I've had plenty that I could have written about. I've thought about this blog now and then and thought I could write about this or that. I guess I am very good at thinking that I will do it tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow never comes. So this summer this blog is a priority. I have more time and my daughter has made lots of plans for us. There will be plenty to write about daily. There are a few changes that I will be making to my blog posts because of that. I will be shifting slightly from just what makes me happy to celebrating our daily life. I will be adding projects that we have done. I will also be writing much longer blog posts. That will take more effort on my part, but I am really excited about it. Also if I know that I will need to be blogging about something tomorrow than I will be less likely to put off the activities t...

Finishing Projects Makes Me Happy

I don't know what it is about me, but I have a hard time finishing things.  Unless there is a time table - like a costume for Halloween or a gift that I have to come up with.  It actually irritates me.  I have a lot of started, half done, (or my favorite) almost done projects lying around my house.  Annoying!  I am also really good at getting side tracked so that finishing things around the house takes SO much longer than it should.  Well I didn't get a chance to take my Halloween down as soon as wanted to, so the other day I had some time and decided that it needed to come down.  I had the boxes to put everything in, so I started taking things down.  Now this usually takes me a few days to finish.  Don't ask me why.  It makes no sense.  So I decided that I was going to do it until it was done.  A couple of times I thought that I could get something else going at the same time.  Like throw a load of laundry in to be w...
