What to do With an Old Toddler Sheet

I had an old toddler bed sheet and I knew I wanted to do something with it so I finally decided to make a flag banner for Love's room.

I printed the flag template found here but I wanted my flags to be bigger.

So I flipped over my paper and drew my own.  I then cut out the flag template.

Then place your template on your material where you want to cut and lightly trace with a pencil around the flag.

Here you can lightly see the pencil marks.  I then cut them out with regular scissors and then went around the edges with pinking shears.

Pick a ribbon for the top and pin the flags to it.

Sew from one end all the way to the other.  I left some extra ribbon hanging out on each side to hang it on the wall.

Iron the material if you haven't all ready.

Then hang it up!

Thanks for looking!

Circle Painting

I needed something on the wall in our master bedroom so I went to Michael's and picked up a couple canvasses.  This is what I came up with.  It is super easy and will take about 15 minutes with drying time.


Our bedroom is brown and blue so that's what I went with.
Start by radomly painting the brown circles.
Let that dry.
Then paint the blue circles inside the brown ones.

Let dry, hang on wall and you are finished!

Thanks for stopping by!

Super Cute Tag Lovey

My husband's cousin is having a baby so I created this cute tag lovey for her.  They know that it is going to be a boy but I thought it would be fun to do something other than blue, and I just loved these colors all together.

Most important, she loved it!  Can't wait to meet little Eli.

Baked Cinnamon Breakfast Bites

I found these on Pinterest via Oh My! Sugar High and had to give them a try since we all love donut holes. 
They are so good and very easy to make.
The kids loved rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar.

1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup crisp rice cereal, crushed
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted

In a large bowl mix the flour, cereal, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut in shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk just until moistened.
Shape into 1-inch balls.

In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar.
Dip balls in melted butter and then roll into the cinnamon and sugar.

Bake in single layer on cookie sheet at 425 F for 15-18 minutes.

Enjoy!

Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups

Found this recipe on Pinterest and had to give it a try.  Instead of the feta and parmesan cheese in the original recipe I just used mozzarella since that is what I had in the house, but I think it still turned out good.  Next time I'll try it with some spinach and maybe some other veggies.

3 cups cooked chopped chicken  

1 cup Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella (or about that, I didn't measure it)

1/4 cup milk

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

10 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained (original calls for 8 but I had 10 left so used them all)

2 cups Spaghetti sauce

*Put about 1 cup of sauce in bottom of 13x9 inch baking dish

*Combine chicken, cheeses, milk and pepper in bowl

*Put about 2 spoonfuls of mixture onto each noodle

*Roll noodles long way

*Place rolled lasagna noodles into dish on top of sauce

*Top with remaining spaghetti sauce

*Sprinkle some cheese on top if you would like

*Cover

*Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes

                



Enjoy!

Felt Heart Love Shirt

I had a shirt from Love that was to small so I decided to make a Valentine's shirt for Bug.

Bug didn't want her picture taken, which is unlike her, so I got her on the run.

I had drew both the heart and ribbon then cut them out and pinned them together.

I then stiched around the ribbon and stitched LOVE onto it.

Then pin it to the shirt and stitch around the heart.

Next on my list is making a Lightning McQueen shirt for Love.

Here are a few things that caught my eye this week:

Sleep is Overrated - From Hurting But Hopeful - Kelly explains it perfectly!

Figuring Out 40 - Great Project Life inspiration

A Little Bit of Me - Found thru Figuring Out 40, another great Project Life site

Palm Trees - Cute breakfast or snack idea

Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookie Tarts - Cute for Valentine's or anytime
