Gobble! Turkey Hand Tee

Here's a modern twist to the Thanksgiving hand turkey! My daughter and I made this last year and we had so much fun I wanted to share it again!

Look at that sweet little face! I can't believe how fast she's growing up!

We followed the tutorial from Treasures For Tots as our guide. Using fabric scraps, ribbons & buttons, we made the whole thing in less than one hour & the best part...

No sewing involved (woot)!

Little Ghost Feet

I love this time of year! My little gal & I have so much fun doing craft projects together. When I saw this idea posted on Pinterest, I knew we had to give it a whirl.

We started off with a canvas & painted it black.

Next we made a puddle of white paint for her to wiggle her foot in. She giggled & had a blast. Next carefully place each foot down onto the canvas.

We added some googly eyes and glitter paint (cause everything we do has to sparkle, even ghosts)!
She wrote her name & dated the back of the canvas.

Last, I added some adhesive letters and attached some ribbon using my staple gun so we could hang it!

Easy peasy! I love that every Halloween we'll have a special decoration to cherish from when she was little :)

DIY Ghost Leaves

Boo! Say hello to our new ghost friend created with leaves. Cute huh! Want to make some with your little gobblins? Super easy & so much fun. Let's get started.

You'll need white paint, brush, wiggly eyes, glue and silk leaves (we used small & large sizes).

Paint both sides with the white paint. Let dry & glue on the eyes.
That's it! Super fun Halloween decorations your kids will love to show off!

Love how the ends of the leaves started to fray. Adds to the spookiness!

She's so proud! We hung the big guys in our front window and made a garland with the little ones for her room.

Hope you'll try making a few to add to your Halloween decor!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ebelskiver Love

I have a new minor obsession, ebelskivers! They've become our latest weekend breakfast treat and they also make an awesome late night snack!

William-Sonoma sells an amazing pan & box mix to make these little gems but I recently discovered Trader Joes sells them pre-made in the freezer section. Just throw them in the microwave for a few seconds and Oh. My. Goodness.

Don't live near a Trader Joes? My condolences, you might consider moving... just sayin'!

There are a variety of ways to eat them. We sprinkle ours with powdered sugar and top them with homemade jams & jellies. We also serve them with warm chocolate sauce & fresh whipped cream...Heaven!

To avoid slipping into a chocolate & carb coma, I also serve some yummy fresh fruit.

And no breakfast would be complete without bacon. But as to not to feel completely guilty of eating a dozen balls, this time I opted for turkey bacon. Delish!

Have you ever tried Ebelskivers? How do you eat them?

DIY Bakers Twine

Are you hooked on Bakers Twine? I love that it gives whatever project it touches a funky, retro look. I was so excited when I stumbled across a video from UKMaryanne on how to make it yourself! So I decided to give it a try...

What you'll need:

• white crochet thread #10 ($3 for 400 yards)
• markers
• ruler
• painters tape

Wrap the thread around the ruler. Slide it all together so there are no gaps, but make sure they don't overlap.

Take your marker and draw 3 lines on the front. You'll need to make sure the ink saturates the thread, so I went over it a couple times. Next turn the ruler over & do the same thing to the back. Remove the thread & hang it to dry. I gave it about 10 minutes before I started working with it.

So quick, simple & cute!

Not exactly the real thing, but much cheaper & I love being able to create any color at my fingertips and in just a few minutes.
