Talented Tuesday Features

I slacked off yesterday. Big time. I slept a LOT during the day. Got several calls from the school about Middle Child, those are always fun. He has a fairly extreme case of ADHD, and yesterday? Well, yesterday was one of those bad, very bad, horrible, rotten days.

I wound up sleeping a lot, as I said. I digress.

I meant to feature some crafts from last week's Talented Tuesday, and never got around to doing it. Hence, the slacker part. So, here you are!

These are crafts from last week, NOT from yesterday's Talented Tuesday. Those will be featured next week. You know, if I'm not a slacker, that is.

If you've been featured here, grab the button, and BRAG!!



First up! A Wreath made from BATH POOFS! Yes, Bath Poofs! I totally love this idea, and want to try it myself for a Spring wreath (which my door needs, now that the Candy Cane heart is down).



 
Veronica over at A Very Country Christmas made this awesome Dollar Tree wreath for just $4 using a couple of bath poofs, some ribbon, roses, and a Dollar Tree wreath form! Isn't it just adorable?

Jess at Mad In Crafts made this fun Chinese Ribbon Stick for her son, also from Dollar Tree items. This is a fun toy, especially with the Olympics!



One Cheap B*tch over at... well, One Cheap B*itch made this totally great Chalk Board Table for her kids to play with. She found the table at a thrift store, painted the top, and Viola! A fun, and functional piece of play furniture!





Stephanie at Made By Stephanie made this fun Monogram Wall Hanging, along with another one as part of a housewarming gift. They are for the kids- isn't it fun?



Check out this fantastic room re-do by Missy over at The Little Green Bean. See that wall, that brick one? Yeah, totally hand painted. She used painters tape to tape of a grid, then went to town! The chair has been Mod Podged with maps. The whole room is just great!


Thank you for joining us with Talented Tuesday. I started Talented Tuesday just a month ago, and it's been a huge success. I really love seeing all the new projects you talented ladies (and gents!) have created each week!

Check back next Tuesday for new features. In the mean time, this week's Talented Tuesday post is open until 11pm, EST, on Wednesday. Feel free to keep adding in links!!

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?

  1. New Sewing Machine
  2. Organization for my Craft Cave
  3. Scrapbooking Supplies- I haven't done scrapping in YEARS! Everything from paper & punches, to a Cricut and new albums. I want it all!
  4. A $500 gift card to Hobby Lobby- It would be gone shockingly fast.
  5. A man servant to clean my house, and wait on me, preferably in the shape of one Jason Isaacs

2. What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?


When I was 5 or 6, my step mom made me a wonderful quilt. I wore it to rags. By the time I was 14, it was held together by a few threads, some tears, and love.

3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
I would love to make nice, twin sized quilts for the kids.

4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
I can't think of any that stand out as much as the quilt, because of how long I was attached to it, and how sentimental it is. I grew up in a divorced family- not just my parents, but also my maternal grandparents. I usually got 2-3 Barbies, 1-2 Cabbage Patch Dolls, and every other girly toy imaginable between all the places I went for Christmas every year. While I loved every toy I got, the quilt stands out more than anything.

5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?
Gillian desperately wants an Easy Bake oven this year.
Chris would love a giant Lego's set, or a camera.
Raegan wants a new CD player for her room.

6. What is your favorite holiday food?
Grandpa's Homemade Noodles- seriously, the noodles are made from scratch, are are OH SO good!

7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?
Oh, boy.. what haven't I hand crafted for Christmas? For starters, I made the decision that all gifts for extended family or friends will be handmade this year. So, with that in mind, I've made:

8. What is your favorite holiday movie?
Hands down, A Christmas Story. I just love it!

9. Favorite holiday song?
"O Holy Night", the Kelly Clarkson, A Capella version.

10. Favorite holiday pastime?

Snuggling up and watching movies together.
