Teacher's gift

Finally!!! I've been looking for weeks for the perfect teacher gift. I read somewhere that teachers end up tossing 80% of the gifts children give them, but this is too cute to toss, right? Get the How-To from Older and Wiser.

Shaggy Rug

This is such a cute, fun idea! I don't know if I have the patience to do it, but I do love the look. Get the instructions here.

Canvas Photo Art

Love this idea from Sarah's Projects. She prints pictures onto tissue paper, and then uses mod-podge to adhere the photo to the canvas. These look amazingly authentic!

Wall Patterns

I think this is one of the best ideas I've come across in a long time. Sarah, from Sarah's Projects, uses wax paper to paint on the design. I just love it!

Valentines Day!

Skip To My Lou is one of my favorite sites to find new projects. I saw these little valentines flowers and knew my daughter would love it. Follow the link to get the pattern, instructions, and lots of other goodies.

Art Display

I came across this on Bitty Bowtique and think it's a really cute idea. I would make a few changes, but that's only because my daughter loves all things girly. For example, I'd use a larger piece of wood, more clips, add her name, and embellish it a little more.

Kids Chef Hat & Apron

My daughter loves anything she can wear a special outfit for, and this adorable chefs hat will become her permanent kitchen accessory. Check out the pattern and tutorial here, Skip to My Lou.


Don't forget the apron!

Girls Dresses

Love the fabric and the one shoulder design of this adorable dress I found on Prudent Baby.

I can't wait for next summer, my daughter will be the prettiest little thing on the beach. Tutorial here, Sevi Designs.




Cute dress from Daddy's old shirts. Get all the info here, Sugar n Spice Creations.






So many adorable dresses out there. This one is reversible and seems easy enough for beginners. Find the how to here, Polka Dot Bug.

Just one more...I love this all white beachcomber dress from Ruffles and Stuff.




Okay, I lied! This beautiful dress from Ruffles and Stuff is the last one for now. It doesn't really stick with the summer dress theme, but I couldn't pass it up.

Adorable Hats!





I came across a tutorial for this on A Hoot and a Holler. It's so cute, I can't wait to try it out. 

Love, love, love this hat found on Sarah's Project. My daughter loves Hello Kitty, and that's exactly what I thought he first time I saw it.

Paperback Book Cover





I found this great gift idea on Mairuru's blogMy Grandmother is an avid reader, and never goes anywhere without a book.  She tends to read Christian romance novels, but gets embarrassed about the cover art. I can't wait to make it for her.
