Some Party Beauties!




I never could highlight all the beautiful and tasty creations at every party! It's so hard! But here are a few that I love!!!!


Seven Thirty Three made over her master bedroom and it is to die for!!! I'm loving the colors and design. But most of all, I love that beadboard wall headboard! It looks awesome!


I'm loving this ruffle refashioned shirt from See Kate Sew! Darling and super stylish!

Chameleon Girls made this outrageously cool book lamp! Such a great idea for one who loves books (and can part with a few!!!)

What do you do with all those plastic eggs left over from Easter? Especially the ones that have one side broken or lost? Well, you should make a few into these plastic egg tea cups like The Moody Fashionista. Such a fun idea!!!


I want to plant some flowers in some rain boots! I love this spring display from Blueberry Craft and Hobby Time.

Magic Jellybean Turn Into Lollipop Easter/Spring Activity

Last Easter, we did this activity for our kids! They LOVED it! Looks like it will be a tradition for us. I hope it becomes a tradition for you too!


Just like Nothing But Country, we planted some "magic jelly beans" the night before Easter. We didn't have this cute FREE downloadable jellybean packet from Nothing But Country. I'm adding it to our new tradition.


The next morning, the kids walked out to the dirt where we planted the jellybeans and there stood some giant lollipops. I bought the lollipops at Walgreens for $1 (I think.) The kids were amazed.

Download the FREE "Magic Jellybean" packets for this fun Easter or Spring activity.



Paper Bag Bunting

Blue Cricket Design made this totally adorable spring bunting out of paper bags, fabric and other knick-knacks! It is so cute and looks fabulous in from of her old windows!


Check out the paper bag bunting!

Decoupaged Nature Eggs and Using Natural Dyes

Twig and Toadstool decoupaged plants and flowers to her eggs along with natural dyes! Aren't they beautiful! What a great way to use nature in this Spring holiday!


This year, we are trying some natural dyes just for fun. The other day we colored eggs with dye made from yellow onion skins! Twig and Toadstool has some other ideas for natural ways to dye your eggs (Vegetables)! I think my kids and I will try some of her suggestions too.

Eggs and Nest Spring Mantel

I'm drooling over this spring mantel at Craftberry Bush! It's gorgeous. The white on white with little touches of blue is so pretty. The framed faux eggs and shadowboxes are beautiful. You've got to go over to this post to check out how the faux eggs were made and see all the pictures of the spring decor!


Crocheted Bunny Hat Pattern

For those lucky people who know how to crochet, this floppy bunny hat is for you! I would love to be able to make one for my new baby (when he gets here.) What a precious hat for spring and Easter time! Girl in Air is kind enough to share this with us.


Bird Nest Specimen Art

Specimen art is one of the trends going around. This bird nest specimen art made of burlap is ridiculously fantastic! They look like rosettes, but with the addition of the bird eggs, they look like nests. LOVE IT! Midwestern Sewing Girl has this beauty on her blog.

(4) Carrots All Around!



.

My love affair with carrots continue. It actually may have grown stronger after seeing these last couple of carrot ideas! I want to decorate my house with carrots and eat carrot treats all day! Hopefully, you will like the carrots I have found!

.

Carrot cake pops look irrestible! How cute are these at Paper, Plate and Plane! What a fun spring treat! (Found via Craft Gossip.)



And speaking of yummy looking carrots, take a peek at these chocolate covered strawberry carrots! I don't think I have ever seen anything this cute! This is my kind of carrot! See how to make these (and some other REALLY fun chocolate covered strawberry robin's eggs) at Stories of A to Z.


.


These fabric carrots by Creations By Kara are some of my favorite fabric carrots because of the threaded tucks she makes in the fabric. It makes them look quite real and so cute!!!


.

You might want to think about doing some carrot cutlery for an upcoming party! Some orange and green napkins are an adorable way to dress-up some silverware!!!! See this at The Seven Year Cottage.

4 Spring Planting Ideas!

. .
With it now being spring, now is the time to look for early planting ideas and cute gardening ideas. I found four to help you get started with your plants!
.
Use newspaper (or other paper) to make planters for seeds. The thing I like about this idea is that you don't have to take the plant out of the newspaper when you bury it in the ground. The newspaper will dissolve! See this at Cottage Hill.


Use an ice cube tray as a place to plant those seeds until the weather gets warmer and plants get bigger. See this and other spring planting ideas at Silly Simple.
