Puppy “Waterproof” Car Hammock

Found this on Pinterest and have meant to make one for the longest while, with a slight twist using Babyville fabric making it waterproof…I hope. Unfortunately, I was a bit late in making it because the puppies got stuck in the car a minute too long this past weekend, thus sparking an immediate reason to take the project on.

Here's to hoping the "waterproofing" works. J

Framed Earring Organizer

I was feeling in a bit of a crafty mood the day I made this. Not looking to make something for my jewelry specifically, but just feeling like making something, not food, with my hands. I have a bunch of 4x4x6 frames I used for my wedding table seating. They were not terribly expensive so I had no qualms about tearing them apart for a project, even if it didn’t work. Walking around the house looking for inspiration I finally decided to try my hand at an earring organizer. There are a number of jewelry organizing ideas on Pinterest, but none did quite what I wanted so I had to pick a little from here and a little from there to come up with my final product.

Puppy Crate Mattresses

So we have these 2 adorable shih-poo puppies. Just 20 weeks old. In the beginning of the process of owning dogs one must do quite a bit of shopping to make sure they’ve got all of the required supplies. One or two of the things you need to start out is a crate (if you are crate training) and bedding for the crate. I found a couple of cute doggy beds for cheap that we kept in their crates.

It’s always frustrating when a new recipe adventure goes awry. You’re all excited to find a recipe that meets your needs in a particular moment, and convinced that the ingredients will be so awesome when they come together and then BOOM! Turns our you were wrong, your exciting was unwarranted and you’re out a few dollars in expensive ingredients. Welcome to my world. J

Here are some recipes I found on Pinterest that were not all they were “Pinned” up to be. I didn’t hate the results, but I’ll probably never make them again.

Oh, and just so this is the most disappointing blog I put up one Pin that I really did enjoy.

Red Clutch

Made a fabulous little red clutch for a Christmas party a couple of years ago. It worked very well and off set my peach outfit perfectly.
