How To: Ice Cream Cone Christmas Ornament

I am in love with my Ice Cream Cone Christmas ornament. I made the ornament and how to or Savvymom.ca. It was the least I could do ater they put Until Wednesday Calls AND Storage Geek on their 35 favourite Canadian Mom Blogs List.

Authors Note: Pictured at the tutorial is a wreath. The hot glue and the glas Christmas balls did not stay bonded through the first freezing rain storm we had. The glue contracted too much in the cold. But as a Christmas tree ornament it is good enough eat!

Pink Purse Tutorial at Every Day Mom Ideas

Remember this purse from the Pretty in Pink giveaway? Well if you liked it so much you want to make a version of it yourself you can! I made up a tutorial and am sharing it over at Everyday Mom Ideas. You have to scroll down past some sticky posts but it is there in all it's pink glory! In this version I traded the bows for some fun trim and a couple small flowers and the bamboo for gold toned bangles. But the purse construction is indeed the same! Be sure to stop by and check it out and leave those comments we all love!

Wednesday on Wednesday will return this afternoon, I have yet to upload the photos from our trip, but I am excited to share them with you!

Guest Posting @ The Sewing Dork!

Good morning! Today is super exciting! I am guest posting for the very first time (anywhere) at Confessions of a Sewing Dork! March is frugal crafting month at Confessions of a Sewing Dork and I for one have been really enjoying the posts! So when Cynthia asked me to author a post for her themed month I was more than willing. So much so I was almost instantly inspired. I had this skirt sketched in my notebook but I was dragging my butt on the actual creation of it. Until the other day. Suddenly (like as soon as I read the email) I had to make it that day! And I did. And it is awesome. And now I will share with you how you can make the cutest skirt from a ratty pair of jeans, an old stained t-shirt and a shoelace. Seriously if that is not the epitome of frugal, well than can I at least have a B+ ?


Want to make one of these? The skirt, not the gorgeous kid, this is a g-rated blog!


For the next few days the tutorial will be located here at Confessions of a Seeing Dork. How cool is that? I have been reading her blog since shortly after I started this one. I cannot remember which one of her many awesome (and uber thrifty) tutorials lured me in as she has so many. Re-purposing and refashioning are the main themes which would explain why I love it when her blog pops up in my dashboard window. Oh and giveaways, this woman is uber generous! Always giving away handmade items, would be a good idea for you to visit her often!

Hope to see you there!
