N's Nursery

Here are a few photos of our baby girl's nursery. The projects I did were simple and budget-friendly.

These hoops were really easy. A lot of the fabric I found in scrap baskets at a local fabric store - they gave them to me for free! I just used wonder-under to apply the bird, letter, and heart. All in all this project was under $15!

This wreath was only a dollar. These hydrangea's were from centerpieces from our wedding. I'm so glad I found a use for them. Foam wreat forms can be found at the dollar store. Cut the stems and poke them in the wreath. I used hot glue to keep the stems in place. I think this took less then an hour to make. Told ya I did simple projects.
Different versions of this pillow can be found all over the web. I used this tutorial from V & Co. It was fun to make and a good project for beginners (the sewing doesn't have to be perfect).

Let me know if you have any questions with anything! I hope to be posting more from here on out!

Valentine Decor

Hey guys. I have been searching blogs everywhere for inspiration. Not just crafts, but organization, cleaning, parenting, exercising, etc. Look on my sidebar for a lot of the sites. Sometimes I need a swift kick in the pants. Hmm, as I sit here in PJs and munch on chocolate cinnamon bears (THE best treat ever). I'm working on it! Anyway, I found some great, easy crafts to do for Valentine's Day. It was a perfect way to be productive while watching my guilty pleasure shows.

I found the great idea for felt kissing balls and wreath from The Idea Door, who apparently got her idea from Design Sponge. I, for the life of me, could not find a heart shaped wreath anywhere, so another round one will have to do.

Did I mention its a cheap project too?

Felt, wreath, pins, pack of 6 styrofoam balls = $10

My lovely "mantel".

I love how versatile these balls are. You can hang them, put them on vases and candle holders, put them in baskets, pretty much anywhere.

Here's a close-up of the wreath. It was my idea to add the red felt flowers. :)

You would laugh at how simple these flowers are to make. Less than a minute. Seriously. Learn how to make them here.

Not part of my mantel, but there are all kinds of free printables for Valentine Subway art. Mine was found here.

So there you have it. I don't think I'm done yet though. Too many good ideas out there to try!
