Just For Mommy Laughs....We all know we need them!!!!

I have been waiting to post this link for a long time.  I don't know what makes today special but it is.  Surprise!!! As I have mentioned before this is my favorite mommy blog.  Her post will make you laugh so hard you'll cry.  At the same time this Momma is very open and candid about the struggles she has faced battling postpartum depression.

This by far and above is my favorite of all her posts.  If I am having a bad Mommy day, you know the ones...I need to take a minute and read this for the 100,000th time, I take a breath and I can keep going.  Enjoy!!!!

Felt Flower

Have you ever wanted to learn how to make those cute little felt rosettes?  Here you go!!!  They are so easy!!!

Dove's Selfie Project

     My first born is an incredibly sweet, strong-willed, independent, self-assured, confident 3 year old girl.  I watch her in amazement, as she always does what she thinks is right or good, even though it might not be what the other kids around her are doing.  

     I, on the other hand have never had the confidence and strength as she does.  She often sits with me in the bathroom as I am getting ready to go somewhere.  Lately, she has been asking a lot of questions or mimicking things I do like sighing in the mirror at my face.  I knew my behavior had to change, in order  to encourage her to maintain hers.  As I watched this video, it reinforced everything I was thinking.  If you have a daughter, please take a minute to watch.  Ours girls are so so so impressionable.  The strongest female influence in her life is  her Mom.  So Mom!!!  Time To Shape Up!!!

Stuffed Heart

This is a little project making stuffed hearts I did for Valentine's Day.   I am planning on doing the same thing for St. Patrick's day with shamrocks.  You can use these stuffed hearts like I did on a wreath, or use them in a apothecary jar or even add a little ribbon to the top and hang them around your home.

Gather everything you'll need.  

1. felt

2. glue gun

3.  embroidery floss and needle

4. scissors

5. heart template

6.any little things you want to use to decorate them, I used little scrap booking faux chalk signs and buttons

7. Polyfill

1.   Use your heart template and trace your hearts on the felt. Remember, you will need an front and back piece for each heart.  I traced them out on 1 piece of felt,   then piled them up and cut out a bunch at a time.

2. Now it's time to decorate, go crazy, simple and sweet, or glam. 

3.  Next, I used an blanket stitch to sew  the back on with embroidery floss.  (Click here for the full blanket stitch tutorial.)  I left about an inch of the heart open and stuffed it with polyfill.  Then I sewed it closed.  

Here's how they turned out.....  

I pinned mine to a wreath for Valentine's Day.

Blanket Stitch

     I apologize for my lack of posts lately.  I live in New Jersey and have been buried under 3 feet of snow.  Since I am a teacher we have had a ton of snow days.  I mistakenly thought that they would give me a ton of spare time to work on my blog.  Silly silly me...my 1 year old and 3 year old were also home with me, so I spent the majority of my snow break loading and unloading the dishwasher, picking up toys, doing laundry and vacuuming.  It is mind boggling how much work those two kids can make for Mommy in a matter of minutes.
Anyway,  I want to prove I was trying really hard to work on my posts.  Therefore,  I'm just going to throw the last few that I have been working on up even though we are a little past Valentines Day.
The first thing I want to show you how to do is a blanket stitch by hand.  You'll need to know how to do it for my next post on stuffed hearts.

1.   I cut 2 of the same sized hearts of of some felt.  I wanted to sew them together and stuff them as little Valentine's Day decorations.  To sew them I used the blanket stitch.  I started out my putting the two wrong sides of the heart together.  Then I took my needle and thread, knotted the end and started my first stitch through the wrong side of the back piece of the heart.
  2.  Next, stitch through the front to the back.  Leave yourself a loop, don't pull the thread tight just yet.



  3.  Thread the needle through the loop you just made and pull tight.

             

   4.  Repeat: stitch through the front pulling through the back, but leaving a loop.  Thread the needle throught the hoop and pull tight.  Your stitches should beginning to look like the ones below.
