Pinterest Overload

I may not look like I have done much lately but... I have.  I just haven't taken pictures to share.  So instead, I'm going to share all the links from Pinterest that I have done.  Ready?  :0)

Baby Wrap

Hair Detangler

Ribbon Flower for Mother's Day.

Cornmeal Waffles  I used my own recipe for chili on this one.  But I did make the seasoning from here.  It is a little spicy for our family so I think I am going to double everything but the chili powder and see if that helps.  Also, we loved the waffles with butter and honey on them too. ;0)

Bacon Ranch Chicken  We had it over pasta and rice.

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Poppyseed Salad Dressing  WINNER!!!!!  This was a combination of two different salads.  I did both.  I made this salad with that dressing and just added strawberries.  I haven't tried the dressing that is in this recipe.  Sorry. But the chicken marinade is AMAZING!!!!

Chocolate Dipped Apple Slices

Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookies

Warm Bean Dip

Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Bread

Pepperoni Rolls with homemade Marinara sauce  I've decided I am canning this sauce we loved it so much.

Overnight, No Cook, Refrigerated Oatmeal  Raspberry is good. ;0)

Almond Joy Oatmeal  I liked it with Cream of Wheat also.

Pink Lemonade Poundcake

Pineapple Cupcakes  Make sure you drain the pineapple for the frosting.  Found out the hard way. :0/

Balsamic Chicken and Pasta Salad  We ate this for a dinner and my kids loved it.  Picked out the tomatoes but even ate the peppers.

Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich  Loved it!

Cream Cheese Chicken Chili  We have made this one twice!

And so many different kinds of Green Smoothies I can't even put them all on here.  I have one every morning for breakfast and try and do oatmeal for lunch.  I'm a big fan of changing things up but I have to say that the Banana Oatmeal Smoothie is one of my favorites. ;0)

See.  I have been busy. :0)  I have also been sewing up a storm.  I have made a few more of the Dora dresses for my nieces and have worked on some more baby things.  Little shoes that I keep having to re-make because I mess up, tag blankets, little rompers and some sun-dresses. ;0)  Now if I can get someone to come and do laundry, clean my bathrooms and kitchen, that would be great. :0)

Flip-Flop Re-Do

I may have wanted to re-make my flip-flops but not because the dog ate them.

Oh well, I get to re-do them because the dog ate them.  Good thing she only at the part I was planning on cutting off.

Here is the Pinterest site I got it from.

I have to say that I love the flower!  I want to make more to put on my purse. :0)

A Fun Call

I got a call last Friday from my Aunt who had a friend over who loved my Kindle cover.  She asked if I would make her one.  Here is what I did.

LOVE IT!  I love this material.  You'll notice its the same material that I made my purse out of this summer.  I hope that she likes it as much as I do.  I loved that someone liked what I did and wanted one.  Most things I make no one but me likes. :0)

Christmas Projects

I have been sewing up a storm lately!  Man have I had a blast doing it too.  I have so much to show you.  A lot of them come from the SewMamaSew blog that did the Handmade Holidays in November.  These are all the Christmas gifts I've made and are giving out so if you are on my list, don't look. :0)

I saw this cute little pattern for this flower bag that is perfect for what I'm giving my sisters.  I didn't take a picture of what I put in them because I know Winni is going to peek. :0)  But they are so cute and you can do them in non-holiday colors for any time of the year.

I made this Layered-Drawstring Bag from the same post as the last.  I made mine bigger to try and fit everything that I'm giving to the Conklins but it's still not big enough.  Love it though and will so be making more of these too.

I Love all the things that I have been making because I have been able to use scraps.  I haven't bought any holiday material at all.

The next thing I made was corn bags.  Another scrap project that the only thing I had to buy was corn.

These are my neighbor/co-worker/teacher/kids friends gifts this year.  The big ones are for the adults and I made little ones for the kids to give out as hand warmers.

I finished up some more count down blocks and have them all done up to give to a few people.

But this is the one I'm most excited about.  Last year for Christmas I made Katy some minky blankets.  She loves them and can't sleep without them.  But they are small and she hasn't been staying covered up at nights.  My solution.  Make her a new blanket for Christmas this year.

It is one of her Santa gifts and I love how it turned out!  I found the pattern off Pintrest. (Yes, I'm addicted.) I have now decided this will be my new baby gifts that I make for people.

I really love the "K".  When Nate was drawing it on for me to sew we didn't even think what it would look like on the brown back.  Pretty awesome huh!

I've been trying some new recipes lately too from Pintrest but we eat them so fast that I forget I want to take pictures of them to share.  I did take pictures of the gingerbread men I made.

Nate likes taking them to work and putting on a puppet show for the guys before he eats them.  "No, no!  Don't eat me!"  "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"  "You've been caught."

Now I'm finishing up the corn bags, making new dog beds and a few other little scrap gifts.  To think that Christmas is a little over 2 weeks away is a little crazy.  I still have so much to do and just a little shopping left.  Mostly for Nate. ;0)

Holiday Craft Ideas

I love this blog!  I wanted to share.  Every day this month they are having a ton of ideas for home-made crafts for Christmas.  This is the 3rd year that I have been glued to this site every day.  I got so many good ideas from them last year and I am really excited about some of them that they have already posted!  You should check it out. :0)

Sew, Mama, Sew!
