Goals, not a resolution

I had decided my goal this year would be to post more on my blog. I wanted to spend time doing the acts that had originally started me onto blogging. Good news is that I am working on those goals, problem is that I am ADD and start many projects therefore not being able to post about my work because I take forever to finish it or just does not get done. Example, I have wanted to paint my fireplace for years and well wasn't adventurous enough until this year. I painted the wall a deep red and the fireplace a pillar white. Sounds good, right, well I have the wall to the right painted, and the wall to the left, well, lets say it has been four days and I still haven't bought another can, not to mention, my hubby was doing the ceiling and it is still not finished and he has all his paint. Now, I am hoping to finish this project today so that I can post about it soon. Have a blessed day, and may your projects be more successful than mine are at this point.

Have you heard of Tip Junkie

I wonder what I am doing sometimes with this whole blogging idea. I know, I am connecting with other people without having to find a babysitter, or get wonder about where to meet or all the other hassles of everyday life continues to throw at us.  So I love a blog/website that makes this a little easier for me, Tip Junkie is that site, a superstore or blogs. It covers so many crafty areas and is easy to search, important to me. I don't mind having ADD while on this site because she features about 10 items a day and I stick to those she features. Today was a jackpot day for me. There was a pre-k printable pack that I was viewing and it lead me to a site that has many printable packs, I was so overwhelmed that I decided to spend time tomorrow looking over the packs. I will discuss my findings in tomorrows post.

My preschooler and my iPad

Well today's post will be short, due to my 4 yo changing settings on my keyboard. Isn't it amazing how a child can change settings on an electronic device with such ease and you might not even know that action existed. I am not much of a texter so trying to write this post with 2 thumbs is not easy. Tomorrow I will try to figure out how to change my keyboard setting back.

Happy 2012

It is a new year and I want to try some new daily activities.  These are not resolutions, they are the beginning of new habits, at least in a couple of months they should be habits. 

First, I want to take at least 5 days a week and post about something, a new craft I attempted, a blog I look to for inspiration, my frustrations or whatever tickles my fancy. I will try to keep it to my attempts of imagination.

Second, Organization is top priority for me beginning this year, I have some great finds and hope to share them with your soon. 

Have a blessed day, and I hope we can each help each other be successful in our blogging adventures.

Hair Flowers w/link to tutorials

I have been wanting to make flowers and other accessories for my daughter's hair.  She is quite ruff with the headbands and clips I have bought and I like to have an ample supply of hair accessories.  My preschooler K is not fond of having her hair combed, actually I have to chase her around the house just to spray some water on her hair and try to fluff it.  It is amazing how a headband or barrette  takes her look from, looks like she needs her hair done to an amazing curly afro. With school starting back up I finally have sat down and made some flowers that I am either attaching to a headband or barrettes.
Giving credit where it belongs, there are many tutorials on how to make the flowers but these are the blogs I went to when I sat down to make mine.

Bridget at Everyday Chaos , check her tutorial out, is admittedly 

addicted to making the tattered roses. 

I used scrap fabric from JoAnn's and it truly was a lot easier than I thought it would be. 

I don't know i f you have heard of Skip to my Lou , but you are missing out if you have

not stopped by the blog.  I got this flower from her list of 10 flower tutorials, this 

particular flower was being showcased on the blog of Emily Rose from Simply Vintage Girl.  

I hope you enjoyed my flowers and will make some for a little one around you. It is so easy and inexpensive you will not look at hair accessories the same.
