Oven Mitts

These make awesome hand made gifts. I made 6 pairs last Christmas for neighbors, friends and family. I have been trying to give handmade or helpful gifts this year with this lovely economy. You can get a free PDF with the instructions at www.youcanmakethis.com/info/free/free-make-an-oven-mitt.htm. They turned out really cute. I used several different pattern combinations, I had even wanted to have the family's last name embroidered on the wrists of the mitt but ran out of time. Make sure that you plan ahead with this project especially if you are making more than one set.

This is a pretty easy sewing project, trust me I cannot sew worth crap and I was able to make 6 set's!

4th of July Wreath

After seeing Landee's awesome wreath last year I just knew that I had to have one for myself! Check Landee's out at her blog Landee See, Landee Do. It was super simple to make and has endless possibilities! My sister and I both made one with the same supplies and used our own personal style and they both came out entirely different. We used styrofoam wreaths and small pins to hold the ribbon on so nothing is permanent, if you get sick of it you can remove everything and change it up! I'm thinkin I may have to make a similar one for Halloween. Luv it!

I can't wait to get out my firework jars that I made last year too!

 Just click here for the tutorial on these little babies!

Now it's time for some inspiration!!

Of course I had to show of Landee's wreath!

Living Locurto, My kids would love these

I made these last year and they were a big hit! My advise to you is start looking for

blue jello before the 4th of July. I ended up going to 6 different stores last year on 

a blue jello hunt. Check out Brown Eyed Baker for the recipe.
