Buddha Pears

Something magical happened when a clever Chinese farmer took a very Zen approach to growing ordinary fruit. He created tiny praying Buddhas out of pears by encasing the young pears in molds while they're still on the tree. As they grow they have no choice but to take the shape of the figure.

I bet it is amazing to see an orchid of pear trees growing hundreds of tiny Buddhas but I don't know if I could actually eat one. It's kinda like a piece of art and really, are you suppose to eat a Buddha?

Toddler Tank Makeover

We recently had the opportunity to participate in an amazing photo shoot (I'll share the image soon!). The only criteria was that we had to wear white. Once I got my little gal dressed in her white tank, I realized it needed some pizazz.
Chiffon flowers to the rescue!

Blank tank = Boring right?

You'll just need a few supplies to pretty it up:
  • Chiffon fabric
  • Beads
  • Scissors
  • Lighter
  • Needle
  • Thread
Cut chiffon circles in various sizes and singe the edges with the lighter. It'll prevent fraying & curl the edges.

Next sew the chiffon circles & add the beads.

These cuties aren't just for tank tops. Add them to a hair clip or headband, glue them onto a plain pair of ballet shoes or attach one to a pin back and wear it on your favorite fall cardigan!

In less than 10 minutes, this is the transformed tank!


Now go try making some of the flowers. I promise it's so easy, you'll be hooked!

Thanks for stopping by!

Donut Seeds Printable

A new school year is here and my little gal is starting in a new group at her preschool (sniff sniff - she's growing up way to fast). I wanted to make a little treat she could share with her new friends during their snack time. But what to send???

What kid doesn't love Cheerios?
Especially when they are disguised as donut seeds!

She's sooo excited to take them to school!
You can create these little treats too!
Feel free to download my printable. We used cello bags and Avery shipping labels (#5164). They are a bit big, but fit nicely on sandwich bags too!
Download the labels HERE.

Enjoy!

DIY Christmas Ornaments

I can't believe it's already time to start thinking about the holidays! With just 4 months to go, it's time to start crafting ornaments to commemorate 2010.
I love this idea from Under The Table & Dreaming and the fact it can be used year after year (or at least until the BIG secret about Santa is discovered). It's the perfect place for your little one to tuck away their wish list to Santa. Get all the details HERE
