Quick Zebra Striped Pumpkin

I love Halloween decor! It can be fun, funny, scary or gory, it doesn’t matter. Ok… maybe not scary. I get creeped out pretty easily, and watching a scary movie after dark, alone, is just a recipe for disaster!

These zebra pumpkins the Vivienne from the V Spot whipped up are cute… but you could adapt this technique in all different ways… check out how she made this craft in less than 5 minutes!

Boo Boo Bags

With a Preschool boy in the house, we go through a lot of bandages. With another baby boy growing up fast, I now buy extra-large first-aid kits. Plural. One for upstairs, downstairs, and each car. Not a day goes by without some kind of minor catastrophe.

Instead of a continuous parade of bandages on owies that haven’t broken the skin – bandages which are removed within two minutes and left around the house – I make these Boo Boo bags. Quick to make, they are filled with rice so they get cool in the freezer, but not so cold that they can’t be put right on a bruise or bump. When the tears have passed they go right back into the freezer for the next time.

You can make your own using 5″ squares of fabic, or you can use squares from a charm pack. Start by taking the two squares of fabric and putting them right sides together. Stitch around all 4 sides, leaving a hole on one side for turning.

Turn right side out through the hole left in the last step.

Use a funnel to fill with rice. Filling about halfway is plenty. If you overfill, you’ll struggle through the next step.

Carefully stitch around all four sides, closing up the hole at the same time.  Then toss in the freezer to be prepared for the next bump or bruise.

In 30 minutes you could whip out enough of these clips from Etcetorize to take some to the office, or use for school. With the new school year having just started for most, why not make some for back-to-school? Or a fun teacher gift? There are so many ways to put these to use!

Decorated Mason Jar Glasses

I’m a “little things” gal. It is the details that really matter to me. As much as I love grand gestures… that someone remembered to make a gesture is really what is powerful to me.

There are so many details that go into party planning. I love these decorated mason jars from Cherished Bliss. Such a perfect little detail. Check out her post for details, and to learn about other cute party details!

Glue Gun Table Runner

I love sewing. I’ve been sewing just about as long as I can remember. Even so, I have a special place in my heart for a good no-sew project. Because there are times when it makes more sense to leave the needle in the pincushion and grab the glue instead. This no-sew tablerunner made by Viv over at the V Spot is an awesome example.
