Snowflake Spinner Card

 

 

 

 

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday, I immediately thought of a spinner card.  I had never made one before, but it was pretty simple.  I cut a circle in the card base and then added baker's twine.  The snowflake circle is slightly smaller than the hole and is sandwiched around the baker's twine.  I mixed the pearl embossing powder and prisma glitter to make the snowflakes extra shimmery.  I am very pleased with how they turned out!

New Flooring

 Where have I been?  BUSY!!!  We had new flooring installed in the main areas of our house in the past month.  We also had to install trim and put up a few new light fixtures.  I am amazed at the difference and it makes it look like an entirely new house. 

 

Look at the difference in my half-wall room!  Check out this post to see the before photos. 

 

Blue & Grey Baby Boy Quilt

 

 

 

I whipped up this baby boy quilt super quick.  I used the same fabrics from the Round & Round Baby Boy Quilt

 

I didn't spend a lot of time working on this quilt, and think I probably should have.  I would have been more pleased with a more detailed free-motion quilting pattern.

 

I was inspired by this Pinterest pin.  This pattern is super easy.

5x7 Hinged Display Tray

 

I have had this 5x7 Hinged Display Tray for awhile now and was not sure what photos to decorate it with.  I finally decided that it would look great on a bookshelf in my office.  The walls are pained a tan color and I wanted a nice color palette for it.  I attached the photos using the Hook & Loop Dots so that they can easily be changed out in the future.

Fairy Party- miscellaneous

Photo Clothesline
This photo clothesline turned out so great.  I printed out an 8x10 photo of the birthday girl from each month, put a label on it, and then hung it up on a "clothesline".  Everyone enjoyed looking at the photos and how she had changed from month to month.

High Chair Ruffle
The high chair ruffle turned out super cute for photos.  I took a spool of tulle, gathered it, and sewed a pink ribbon to sew down the gathers.  The only thing I struggled with was attaching it to the highchair.  It would not stay put and kept falling down throughout the party!  I used glue dots and packing tape.  I kept the roll of packing tape close by and just kept re-taping it throughout the party.

Look at that super cute birthday girl!  She was so excited by all the attention and kept waving her arms and clapping.
