Very Cute Little Baby Sock Coin Purses


Look at how cute these little sock coin purses turned out for little girls!


My daughter is crazy about them and has already claimed the cutest ones.....

Monkey likes them too!


I'm thinking they will be great to put some change in, a little lip-balm, some gun....
Fun little gift for a little girl.

Great for valentines day, don't you think?

My {slightly opinionated} daughter suggested that
felt was the best medium for the flowers.

And she drew the sample picture for the butterfly.....


She knows just what she wants....

I wonder where she gets that....?

Totally Cute Retro "Refrigerator" Magnets

I am so lucky because when we bought our house nine years ago, it came with this totally cute retro oven!!!!! Isn't it so adorable!? Since then we have totally overhauled the kitchen, but the oven stayed! I LOVE that thing! Double oven. SOOOOOO adorable! And it works great actually!
Anyway. So I made some refrigerator magnets.


I used some retro bottle caps and glued magnets to the back. I had to add a little round piece of cardboard first, because the magnet didn't stick out far enough without it and that made the bottle cap stick to the surface too flat and you couldn't get a grip on it to take it off. {Does that make any sense....???}
Anyway! I am so very happy with them!
I made LOTS....
They are so fun!
Heeheehee...
It's the little things that make you smile!

Cute Painted Dresser Drawers


Despite the busyness of the season,
I found time during the Christmas "break" to paint up these drawers....
How did I do it? Where did I find the time?
Easy!!!

I just omitted doing dishes, vacuuming, and that kind of stuff.....!!!!

After all, what is more important, right?

Being creative with paintbrushes
and fun bright colors during the dark winter months,
or having a spotless house.....?????
Well, I am kidding a little bit.
I did clean somewhat
and took plenty of time
to enjoy spending time with my kiddos!

But the dresser turned out very cheerful and bright,

which is just how I like it this time of year!

Did you notice the hummingbird nest?
Mr. Right brought it home from his last horseback riding trip.
He knew I would love it!
And he was right!
Of course!


I have to do a few touch-ups still,
because I got side-tracked doing other things,
but I will finish this project soon, and post more pics!
Have a happy day!
:o)
