<p><a href="http://www.thecreativemaven.net/2010/08/toddler-charades-printable.html" target="_blank">Charades</a> a game for the toddler in your world. This is pretty genius actually, in our house most of the games are geared toward our 5 year old &#8230; so having something that really works with where our toddler is in life sounds perfect.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.animaljr.com/animal-mazes/" target="_blank">A-MAZE-ING!</a> Corny, I know! But accurate none the less. Speaking of games and kids &#8211; my daughter is a maze freak so this is great. I&#8217;m thinking these would be good to pull out on our way home from school. Get her mind unwound from the day, maybe loosen up some of the stories I&#8217;ll be dying to hear but she&#8217;s not entirely ready to share ?? It&#8217;s a process, I know. (<a href="http://www.animaljr.com/printable-mazes-for-kids/" target="_blank">Also check out these other kid mazes, a little easier</a>)</p>
<p><a href="http://missiekrissie.blogspot.com/2010/08/tuesday-freebies-penguin-family-stencil.html" target="_blank">Penguin family</a> super fun and free printable for your wall. The entry way? Your office? They need these penguins.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dykast.us/freebies/abc-baby-shower-invitations" target="_blank">Baby Shower invites</a> Ok really, I just love the ABC design and color of these. I might forgo the invitation and frame one for a craft room or even my office. Having varying sizes of things to look at in colors that inspire you is always a good idea.</p>
<p><a href="http://cicadadaydream.blogspot.com/2010/08/organizing-free-download.html" target="_blank">Passwords</a> are hard to keep straight. </p>
<p><a href="http://yellowmums.blogspot.com/2010/07/ff-dinosaur-shapes.html" target="_blank">Shapes! Dinosaurs!</a> Adorable! </p>
<p><a href="http://lets-explore.net/blog/2010/08/learning-coin-values-with-money-bingo/" target="_blank">Money Bingo</a> I printed these off this week because I was tired of hearing &#8220;I&#8217;m bored!&#8221; and we&#8217;re working on a no-nap schedule for the 5 year old in preparation for school. Yes, she still naps &#8230; every single day. What I loved about this game was two-fold. It was sneaky because she was learning something (which she loves to do), it was a game, it was time together. The best part? watching her light go on as she put two-and-two together and seeing her eyes sparkle as she looked at me with pure delight in herself. I also liked how this game provided an easy way to talk about money values. Pennies, nickels, dimes &#8230; their sizes vary as do their values and she really seemed to understand that in the perimeters of this game.</p>

<h3>Make Stuff</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.bhg.com/crafts/home/accessories/easy-to-make-clock/" target="_blank">A clock</a> with paper and clockworks. Love this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/07/office-progress-getting-our-art-groove-on/" target="_blank">Build some shelves</a> which I plan to do for the apartment because school paper is about to take over every square foot in this space and I&#8217;m not about to let it win.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.billiemonster.com/blog/article/goodbye-old-brass-lamp-hello-new-summer-y-lamp-that-i-love" target="_blank">ReBeautify that bronze thing in the corner</a>&#8230; oh! It IS a lamp!  How lovely.</p>
<p><a href="http://abigailscraftshowto.com/2010/08/how-to-carve-a-custom-rubber-stamp/" target="_blank">Make rubber stamps</a> the adorable potential is all over the place on this one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/projects/pinecone-table-runner/" target="_blank">Pine cone runner</a>. There&#8217;s something about woodsy elements to this time of year that really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Plus, this is stunning.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.homemademamas.net/2010/08/bugs-be-gone.html" target="_blank">Homemade Bug repellent</a> You&#8217;re welcome.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/map-coasters" target="_blank">Oh Martha, you never steer us wrong</a> Map Coasters!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20397395,00.html" target="_blank">Outdoor games</a> Please make this, someone. This looks like ridiculous fun.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/04/build-it-with-ana-floating-shelves/" target="_blank">More shelves</a> &#8211; these I&#8217;ll be making for our new kitchen. Yay!! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m ready to start creating things again, not just link to them. So here&#8217;s a few &#8220;How To&#8217;s&#8221; that fancied my interest:</p>
<p><a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent" target="_blank">Make a lightbox</a> for photographing items. Great for trial and error food photography, natural light is ALWAYS better but if you have evening light or yellow light and it&#8217;s just not cutting it &#8211; a light box is a great alternative.</p>
<p><a href="http://craftsreport.com/show-business/30-how-to-get-customers-4x-more-likely-to-buy.html" target="_blank">Good article on how to get folks to buy your stuff</a> &#8230; I don&#8217;t sell anything, but the idea can be applied to anything you&#8217;re selling. Ideas, promotions, reviews? Play with your target audience&#8217;s senses. &#8220;Food for thought&#8221; so to speak.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/how-to-make-a-birdcage-veil" target="_blank">Make a bird cage veil </a> I&#8217;m not getting married but I love these veils. I love me some hats, although I don&#8217;t have any right now. This would be a fun addition to any hat that you could pull off with a &#8220;dressier&#8221; outfit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.readymade.com/blog/home-and-garden/2010/02/10/from-bland-to-blinding-how-to-make-roman-shades/" target="_blank">Roman Shades</a> &#8211; the house we&#8217;re building will not have window coverings when we move in and they tend to be very spendy for an entire house. I haven&#8217;t decided yet if we&#8217;ll get a standard blind or shade for the bedrooms and then curtains on top of that &#8211; but I&#8217;m collecting some different DIY ideas for them nonetheless.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/diy/an-easy-doityourself-statement-sign-heres-lookin-at-me-kid-107848" target="_blank">A huge wall sign</a> &#8211; I&#8217;m tickled with this. We&#8217;re also going to have very high ceilings and tons of wall space. I can&#8217;t decide where I want a sign like this (different saying) but I know I want one.</p>
<p><a href="http://etsymentors.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-use-light-box-and-photo-editing.html" target="_blank">Another light box, with tutorial on editing photos</a>. All you Etsy shop owners &#8230; it does not matter what kind of camera you have &#8211; you still MUST have great shots of your products if you want a sale. This should help.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20317867,00.html" target="_blank">Shelves</a> cute idea for a shelf in a bathroom, laundry room, mud room &#8230; garage even.</p>
<p><a href="http://myevaforeva.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-hat-with-big-flower.html" target="_blank">A hat</a>. See? I love the hats. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=318604.0" target="_blank">How to frame canvas</a> &#8211; now if only I could decide where to get my photos printed ON TO the canvas, I&#8217;d be golden. Ideas?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/projects/Trellis_Moss_Garden_0409.aspx" target="_blank">Moss garden</a>, I&#8217;m always smitten with these, no matter where I see them. I honestly don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d do this, it seems like maintaining something like this could be a hassle &#8211; but kudos to those who do.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.evite.com/evite/2007/09/end-of-summer-b.html" target="_blank">Keg!</a> Ahahahahahaha! I love this. Such a great idea for a summer (adult) bbq. Although, you could do this for kids too &#8211; just make something sans alcohol. A great addition to any outdoor festivity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.oncewed.com/7167/diy/babys-breath-garland/" target="_blank">Baby&#8217;s breath garland</a> is breath taking.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/february-jumpstart-2009-entries/how-tocustomize-roman-shades-jennifers-february-jumpstart-project-2009-076502" target="_blank">More window covering ideas</a> and, albeit, more roman shades.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/article/entryway-organizers?lnc=66f3802fb632c110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&#038;rsc=organizing%20tip%20of%20the%20day_recipe_b"target="_blank">A new way to use those old shutters you keep seeing at the antique stores</a>. This probably isn&#8217;t a new idea, but it&#8217;s new to me. I love seeing shutters as part of a design, it&#8217;s cottagey and old and junkish &#8211; all of which I really love. But I&#8217;m not a huge fan of non-functional things. I don&#8217;t need more ideas for ways to separate a room or where to hang photos &#8211; but organization? Yes. Yes, that will do.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2008/12/diy-project-kates-illuminated-canvas.html" target="_blank">A lighted canvas</a> CUTE IDEA! I&#8217;d make one of these for each of the kids&#8217; bedrooms &#8230; they&#8217;d say &#8220;Night Light&#8221;. Irony. Oh, how they&#8217;ll never get it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=211686.0" target="_blank">A succulent wreath</a> now this I could pull off.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/diy/look-diy-high-end-chandelier-using-ikea-bulbs-070889" target="_blank">DIY chandelier, knock off</a>. Smart people are interesting. </p>

For those of us who love to date our spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend &#8230; or even a good friend. Have a little fun with it.
It&#8217;s a zoo in there! Numbers have never been so messy. Or smelly. Or really, really cute.
A little message a little blessing. Print and remind yourself that you can.

<p><a href="http://bacacreative.blogspot.com/2009/05/date-night.html" target="_Blank">For those of us who love to date</a> our spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend &#8230; or even a good friend. Have a little fun with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://sprik.blogspot.com/2010/07/1234.html" target="_Blank">It&#8217;s a zoo in there!</a> Numbers have never been so messy. Or smelly. Or really, really cute.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jodimichelle.com/2010/08/10/youre-the-house-of-the-best-part-of-you/">A little message</a> a little blessing. Print and remind yourself that you can.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/2009/08/school-morning-routine-free-printable-cards/" target="_blank">Back to School routine cards</a> for the organized child. Or the mother. Either way &#8230; this back to school stuff takes organizing and I&#8217;ll take all the help I can get.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/2008/08/days-of-the-week-tags/" target="_blank">Days of the week!</a> I remember being very confused about the days of the week and there&#8217;s no telling if something like this would have helped me &#8230; but since our daughter likes to talk about days in advance &#8211; this might be a fun exercise for her to learn the days in accordance with the &#8220;how many more sleeps?&#8221; question we constantly get.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftjr.com/paper-chain-people/" target="_blank">Paper Chains</a> are such a fun way for my kids to figure out the motor skills it takes to use a scissors. Plus they&#8217;re cute when all finished and even worth hanging some place other than your fridge &#8211; which needs to be cleaned off any way.</p>
<h3>Make Stuff</h3>
<p><a href="http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/2009/09/21/diy-anthropolgie-inspired-pendant-light/" target="_blank">Basket Pendant light</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve linked to this before and am currently on the hunt to find the right basket so I can make this for the new place. Have I mentioned lately that I love the Internet?</p>
<p><a href="http://onecharmingparty.com/2010/07/30/wizard-of-oz-party-party-pics/" target="_blank">Wizard of Oz</a> party ideas. The shoe, people! The SHOE! We love a good party in our house and are very excited to be planning the very first we&#8217;ll host at the new apartment in a week or so. Eeeee! Invites and everything!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mayarts.com/blog/make-a-ribbon-bunting/" target="_blank">Ribbon bunting</a> small, cute and very whimsical.</p>
<p><a href="http://lollyjaneboutique.blogspot.com/2010/07/paint-stellar-argyle-accent-wall.html" target="_blank">Spruce up a wall</a> with this how-to on painting a lovely dimensional pattern upon one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/08/diy-project-brennas-paper-capiz-shell-chandelier.html" target="_blank">Shell chandelier</a> or is it? YOU GUYS!!!! THE INTERNET!!! Um, I&#8217;m pretty sure I know a bedroom that will be wanting this light in a few months &#8230; MINE.</p>
<p><a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-make-gift-bags-from-newspaper.html" target="_blank">How&#8217;s that recycling thing going for you?</a> Yeah, we&#8217;re on and off the bandwagon too. It&#8217;s HARD to keep everything neat and tidy when there are so many papers and boxes and packages. It&#8217;s ridiculous. So, instead of wasting it or using this as wrap (which is a great idea) you can also make gift bags out of newspaper &#8230; or any paper I&#8217;m assuming. FUN!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20396384,00.html" target="_blank">How to make a ladder game</a>. Outdoor games are so this season. Play one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Easy-Party-Ideas/Party-Decorating-Ideas/Centerpiece-Slideshows/easy-for-kids-centerpieces/5" target="_blank">I&#8217;m still addicted to mustaches, let&#8217;s not be mistaken &#8230; however, these airplanes are calling my name</a> &#8211; a centerpiece! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/08/blog-post.html" target="_blank">Make a headband that looks like you spent $35 on it from a craft fair or that trendy boutique.</a> You&#8217;re so on top of this.</p>
<p><a href="http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2010/08/keeping-color-journal.html" target="_blank">Keep a color journal</a>. Wow. This is so inspirational for me. I love it. I can&#8217;t wait to make my own.</p>
<p><a href="http://offbeatbride.com/2010/08/diy-photo-booth" target="_blank">An easy and budget friendly photo booth</a> maybe for a wedding or grad party? Someone in your life just turned 80? Yes, that. Definitely remember ALL of that.</p>

The other day my daughter came home and announced that she had seen a &#8220;real woody, Mom!!!&#8221; and you are correct, I pooped myself and went through all the possibilities of perverts who might have been stupid enough to fuck up my kid. Then I asked her to elaborate. You know, in a non-threatening tone. One that didn&#8217;t say to her &#8220;I will kill whose ever name you utter&#8221; and she was all &#8230; at VBS, MOM!!! A REAL WOODY! It doesn&#8217;t get better than that does it? A few more questions later and it turns out someone was dressed as the <strong>CHARACTER</strong> from Toy Story. <em>GOOD TO KNOW.</em> Now. Feel free to scare some one else with this marionette &#8230; and please &#8230; puppet responsibly.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.graceisoverrated.com/2010/07/weekword-journal-page.html" target="_blank">A journaling page all about food</a> this is fun, it gives suggestions for things to write about, or notes to make. One of those things you REALLY wanted to remember in 5 years &#8230; now you can.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.graceisoverrated.com/2010/07/new-journal-page.html" target="_blank">Another printable journal page</a> this one weighs on the humorous side. Kinda like the list you make in your head and then the voice that talks back to it.</p>
<p><a href="http://tonicoward.blogspot.com/2010/07/leannes-awesome-free-art-prints.html" target="_blank">BEAUTIFUL free printable art</a> Um, yes. I cannot wait to print and frame some of these for the new house. My favorite is &#8220;I like people who smile when it&#8217;s raining&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cottage-industrialist.com/blog/2010/7/11/a-canning-party-free-printables-from-paper-crave.html" target="_blank">It&#8217;s that time of year, CAN SOMETHING</a> and have a party to do so. Bring the wine, the host will love you &#8230; well, she already does because you got this invitation in the mail. Post Mail. Awhhhh Yeeeeaah. Snap.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicaandjo.com/2010/07/12/nature-scavenger-hunt/" target="_blank">Nature Scavenger Hunt</a> this is on our <a href="http://www.jodimichelle.com/2010/06/04/summer-jar-2010/">Summer Jar</a> list &#8230; a treasure hunt I called it. But still! I love that the work is done for me and we&#8217;re guaranteed an afternoon of the outdoors and adventure.</p>
<p><a href="http://lizzyhouse.typepad.com/lizzyhouse/2010/06/free-castle-peeps-book-plates.html" target="_blank">Castle Peeps Book Plates</a> I would love to start a tradition of buying a brand new book and then letting my daughter write her own name in the book plate &#8230; I have very few books from my childhood and I don&#8217;t think any of them have my penmanship in them. I just love the nostalgia of it.</p>
<p><a href="http://spotgirl-hotcakes.blogspot.com/2010/07/ice-cream-safari.html" target="_blank">Ice Cream Sundae PASSPORT</a> Genius. What a great idea! And no matter that we&#8217;ve already been to a few ice cream shops this year, we&#8217;ll HAVE to go again because the passport needs it&#8217;s STAMP!! (Another Summer Jar item? Or maybe just a weekly outing?) I love this idea.</p>
<p><a href="http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2010/06/bridal-shower-gift.html" target="_blank">Recipe card</a> so lovely. A great way to make a personal and inexpensive gift feel very expensive and very thoughtful.</p>
<h3>MAKE STUFF</h3>
<p><a href="http://fairyfox.blog.co.uk/2010/05/30/step-by-step-diy-felt-roast-chicken-8698457/" target="_blank">Felted roast chicken</a> I&#8217;m not usually a fan of the felted toys. Just not my thing, I guess &#8230; but this one tickled me. Maybe because I could see myself using it more as decoration or a prop of some kind than my kids actually playing with it. For instance. A great &#8220;take along&#8221; to a pot luck, they just said a <em>dish to pass</em>, am I right? Or how about forgetting that it was 5:30 and dinner should be ready soon &#8230; throw the fake chicken on the table with a side of canned corn. THEY&#8217;LL NEVER KNOW.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2010/7/8/diy-repurposed-tins-as-magnetic-organizers-free-printable.html" target="_blank">Turn an old tin into a magnet</a> so easy, so affordable, so cute.</p>
<p><a href="http://craftopiaonline.blogspot.com/2010/07/super-simple-windscarf.html" target="_blank">Super simple wind scarf</a> Not sure when I would actually wear this, but I like the idea of it. Maybe for that one time a summer we ride a boat? Or maybe this will inspire me to make reservations on that boat-dinner-cruise. Could be very classy. </p>
<p><a href="http://readymade.com/projects/article/fabric_pup_tent" target="_blank">Fabric Pup tent</a> oh yes. I would like this just so I can take this photo, only it&#8217;d be my kids inside. Such a great idea. And a great addition to any child&#8217;s imagination.</p>
<p><a href="http://explanationrequired.blogspot.com/2010/07/messy-masterpiece.html" target="_blank">What&#8217;s all the fuss about finger painting?</a> Right. This. Don&#8217;t have kids but still want some do-it-yourself art &#8230; this is a great application. Or maybe you have furbabies? Get their paws in on this one.</p>
<p><a href="http://familyfun.go.com/summer/backyard-activities/backyard-nature-crafts/still-life-with-flowers-675450/" target="_blank">Living masterpiece</a> I&#8217;d like to see an entire town get in on this one &#8230; a garden tour turned museumesque exhibit? Or the local arts council get behind this and there&#8217;s ticket sales for the show. I know my daughter would FREAK OUT if she were part of an exhibit that people came to see because of her.</p>
<p><a href="http://papierenavonturen.blogspot.com/2010/07/zigzag-harmonicaboek-hoe-maak-je-dat.html" target="_blank">Zigzag accordion book</a> HOW TO. These are fun and an easy addition to a gift with a dollar limit. Trading names for the holidays? Or on a tight gift budget for showers and birthdays? The recipient always loves something that will continue to give after the first initial unwrapping.</p>
<p><a href="http://thecraftsdept.marthastewart.com/2010/07/paper-gift-topper.html" target="_blank">Speaking of gifts, be the envy of everyone there</a> wrap it with extraordinary detail.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/crochet-ombre-necklace_2" target="_blank">Crochet a necklace</a> circa 1937. Classic.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.princesshairstyles.com/2010/07/no-french-braid-floating-braid.html" target="_blank">I&#8217;m all about the braids</a> my daughter finally has hair that will tame itself into a french braid &#8230; really anything other than a baby clip and I&#8217;ve been having a blast playing with it. This is such an original way to do it. Can&#8217;t wait to give it a go.</p>
<p><a href="http://theprettypoppy1.blogspot.com/2010/07/pretty-little-rosie-wreath.html" target="_blank">Rose wreath</a> I want to make this RIGHT NOW.</p>
<p><a href="http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2010/07/marble-spiders-from-mind-of-grandpa.html" target="_blank">You&#8217;re not allowed to be afraid of something that is so pretty.</a> Get over the jitters and do yourself a favor. Get to know your insects.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.prudentbaby.com/2010/06/beginners-bias-tape-bag-with-free.html" target="_blank">Simple bias tape purse</a> a great beginner project.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thegreengal.co.uk/2010/06/how-to-make-a-coaster.html" target="_blank">Make beautiful things</a> &#8230; if they have to sit around they might as well be pretty to look at. Stop using the faux glass plastic coasters that look like it just rained. No really. I&#8217;ve been meaning to tell you how bad they look &#8230; so has everyone else who has to use them because you&#8217;re varnished coffee table is &#8220;getting you through til you can afford the new living room set&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/06/diy-project-halligans-american-travel-map.html" target="_blank">Create a cork board map</a> and then use it to be creative, post notes or keep track of all the places you&#8217;ve been or want to be.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.executivehomemaker.com/2010/06/cupcake-banner-printables/" target="_blank">Free printable!</a> birthday banner or cupcake accessories. Adorable. I love the colors. And the banner. All things banner.</p>
<p><a href="http://yellowmums.blogspot.com/2010/06/freebie-friday-abc-poster.html" target="_blank">Free art!</a> Print this alphabet print and then frame it or post it to a wall. No need to limit this color gem to a nursery. I&#8217;d use it in my laundry room. Nice little pop of color and I love the lines of the letters.</p>
<p><a href="http://yellowmums.blogspot.com/2010/06/freebie-friday-mini-card.html" target="_blank">Another Printable!</a> A little notecard and envelope. Now there&#8217;s no excuse for not getting those Thank You cards out &#8211; the office supply store might close at 5 like a loser, but your printer should be a full service stationary maker at 1 am when you remember that your mother is coming for dinner and she&#8217;s going to mention how good your sister is at getting out those Thank You&#8217;s.  (Feel free to boast that you even DIY&#8217;d them. She might not know how to handle that one.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2010/06/all-those-who-wander-freebie.html" target="_blank">All Wonder is Not Lost</a> free printable art. This print makes me imagine myself walking down the streets of Spain or some other place I&#8217;ve always wanted to go, wanted to be. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.prettyhandygirl.com/2010/06/when-is-closet-not-closet-when-it-is.html" target="_blank">Redo a closet</a> tutorial, photos of the process and all. It&#8217;s gorgeous. I think this is genius and it looks so beautiful. Now I&#8217;m going to be looking for closets and small spaces to make a nook out of.</p>
<p><a href="http://3punkmom.blogspot.com/2010/06/childrens-play-tent.html" target="_blank">Make a play tent out of sheets</a> Yes and yes. Such a great idea and it looks easy!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2010/06/08/marshmallow-shooters-with-make-it-do/" target="_blank">It&#8217;s that time of year, the marshmallow gun makes it&#8217;s entrance</a> Happy Summer! Make these to bring to picnics and barbeque&#8217;s. I promise you won&#8217;t hear whining about all the unfairness of the event because Billy wouldn&#8217;t let your child play with the XBox. Whining about being pelted with ammo that they can eat? I&#8217;m guessing not. But bring goggles for the eyes. (And probably best for kids 5 and over.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.prudentbaby.com/2010/06/easiest-softies-ever.html" target="_blank">Easy sewable softies</a> I&#8217;m a huge advocate for having a &#8220;To-Go&#8221; back pack or bag with toys, books and games exclusively for traveling in the car or waiting for your table in a restaurant. Toys and books that never leave the To-Go bag because it&#8217;s &#8220;special&#8221; to go &#8230; makes them think it&#8217;s a big deal. Any way, these would be a great addition for when some of the toys or games are over used and losing their appeal. Plus? Soft animals that don&#8217;t make noise and piss off parents in the front seat? Um, you just struck gold.</p>
<p><a href="http://triciarennea.blogspot.com/2010/06/watermelon-banner.html" target="_blank">Printable watermelon banner</a> for the deck and your late night summer bonfires. Or birthdays, holidays and permanent (and cheap) decor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.executivehomemaker.com/2010/06/change-of-address-postcards/" target="_blank">Just in time, Change of Address Cards</a> Free printable. Guess who&#8217;s going to use these?  Grandma, your mailbox will be occupied soon!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2010/06/mustache-topped-chocolate-cupcakes-for.html" target="_blank">Mustaches cupcakes</a> I&#8217;m a little smitten with all-things-mustache lately. Pretty sure I need to do a mustache inspired party. WHICH!??! UM, IDEA!! <a href="http://www.jodimichelle.com/life-list/">#77</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://thecrimsonowl.blogspot.com/2010/06/zipper-comb-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Super cute DIY hair pieces</a> use a zipper to make flowers! It looks beaded and detailed without trying. Yay!</p>
<p><a href="http://creativelittledaisy.typepad.com/creative_little_daisy/2010/06/have-you-priced-vintage-blue-canning-jars-lately-wanna-make-your-own-really-cheap-.html" target="_blank">Turn your run of the mill canning jars and vases into something spectacular</a> and pseudo vintage. Everyone wants the turquoisey colored jars &#8230; and they pay plenty for them. Except you, you smarty pants, you make your own and save the dough and no one has to know.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/06/we-like-it-wild-staghorn-ferns.html" target="_blank">Oh I love the internet.</a> It gives me DIY&#8217;s and ideas like this one. Make your own antlers to hang. I can see this looking really good in a themed bedroom, a boys? Or an office if done in white or ivory. They sell the <a href="http://www.thinkrockpaperscissors.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=RPS&#038;Product_Code=dy0009&#038;Category_Code=gift" target="_blank"> cardboard ones</a> so why not make your own pattern and go from there?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/06/diy-project-sailors-knot-doorstop-paperweight.html" target="_blank">A sailors knot door stop or paper weight</a> or again, something to use as inexpensive decor. Make a few of these and use them instead of those balls people feel bowls with to set on their coffee table. Or hang a trio of them on a wall. You could even paint them to your liking &#8230; oh ideas!</p>
<p><a href="http://thecraftingchicks.com/2010/06/the-vintage-birthday-paper-chandelier.html" target="_blank">A classic chandelier for celebrations</a> they used this for a birthday but this could be a great wedding add-on as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://fresh-linen.blogspot.com/2010/06/baby-shower.html" target="_blank">A baby shower game</a> free printable. A fun, and timeless feel makes this an easy game to pitch to the 3 girlfriends planning your baby shower who do not want to play any games thankyouverymuch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/home-improvement/create-book-shelves-00000000035586/index.html" target="_blank">Spare books make beautiful shelves</a> if you&#8217;re a garage saler and need some shelves, you can generally pick up great looking old books for 10 cents to one dollar &#8230; and then use them to make these. Viola!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.executivehomemaker.com/2010/06/summer-tags/" target="_blank">Summer tags</a> free printable &#8230; you might not be able to see the image (I can&#8217;t) but you can still download them and they&#8217;re great!</p>
<p><a href="http://goodgravydesigns.blogspot.com/2010/06/free-printable-diy-bright-polka-dot.html" target="_blank">Free printable gift tags</a> POLKA DOTS!</p>
<p><a href="http://thecitycradle.com/printable-guest-book" target="_blank">A great guest book idea</a> and? You guessed it, it&#8217;s a free printable. Now that my daughter is writing more and more I love this idea as a way to capture her hand writing every month for a year or two so we can see the progress as she grows. A book in progress, maybe?</p>
<p><a href="http://thatartistwoman.blogspot.com/2010/06/windsocks-for-fathers-day.html" target="_blank">Windsocks</a> a great craft for kids, with them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.camilledawn.com/2010/07/childs-art-turned-softie.html" target="_blank">Embroider your child&#8217;s art</a> ok, ok. I haven&#8217;t done any embroidering yet &#8230; SHAME. Because I love to link to patterns and ideas because I HAVE PLANS to one day be a really good embroiderer&#8230;erer. Any way. I&#8217;m pretty sure that this is the cherry on top. Now I must. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.allaboutyou.com/craft/sew-toy-boat-ocean-liner/v1" target="_blank">Sew an ocean-liner </a> that will not sink. Ok, it will &#8230; if you put it in the bath, but it won&#8217;t be tragic.</p>
<p><a href="http://high-heelfootinthedoor.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post.html" target="_blank">A faux roman shade</a> NO SEWING. This rocks.</p>

<p><a href="http://webloomhere.blogspot.com/2010/06/finding-fairies-and-little-love-story.html" target="_blank">Make a fairy out of paper</a>  &#8211; I know someone who might like this <img src='http://www.jodimichelle.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><a href="http://childmadetutorials.blogspot.com/2010/06/recycled-votives.html">Recycle bottles into votive holders</a> this is interesting and very pretty. But I&#8217;m worried the plastic will melt? No? Either way, super fun project to try.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/diy-favors-homemade-bread-and-jam" target="_blank">DIY favors</a> or a neighborhood treat, 4th of July &#8220;pretty&#8221; &#8230; this could go so many ways. I love the simpleness of it.</p>

<p><a href="http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/06/party-ideas-part-four.html" target="_blank">UM! Make your own birthday calendar</a> GENIUS. I spent a good $40 on one of these at a craft fair a couple years ago and love it. It was worth the money because I knew someone spend the time on it and it was themed per month, so &#8230; you know, special. But &#8230; This is easy. And simple. AND. AND. I love it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allaboutyou.com/54274/v1" target="_blank">Ribbon flowers</a> again with the floral. Maybe you can&#8217;t afford to buy fresh flowers for a gift, new mother, hostess &#8230; whatever. But there are SO many ways to make a flower &#8230; it&#8217;s really amazing.</p>
<p><a href="http://readymade.com/projects/article/recycled_wood_dining_table" target="_blank">Recycled wood (pallets) table</a> I&#8217;d love to make a version of this for outdoors.</p>
<p><a href="http://sewcando.blogspot.com/2010/06/laminated-cotton-cupholder-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Laminated cup holder, stroller</a> this is all kinds of helpful because neither of the {crappy} strollers we have came with a cup holder for the parent or child. </p>

<p><a href="http://sugarstitches.com/blog/?p=667" target="_blank">Lovely little bag</a> we have a small addiction to all things baggish around here. It&#8217;s my daughters addiction &#8230; and I would be ok with it if they all looked like this.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Food-Dehydrator-Dryer/" target="_blank">Solar Food Dehydrator</a> I love when this stuff comes up. I was just talking to a friend about wanting to buy one of these. Yay!</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/04/how-to_make_your_own_pea_trell.html" target="_blank">Well this makes sense</a> I have peas for the first time this year in the garden and I&#8217;ve been wondering how in the world to get them from falling over. Yeeeeaaah. My light isn&#8217;t always in the ON position. Plan to tackle this one after I publish this post <img src='http://www.jodimichelle.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.sunset.com/garden/backyard-projects/hot-to-build-outdoor-lounge-cabana-00400000043336/" target="_blank">PVC is stunning</a> just add some linen. Make your own outdoor lounge. And if you don&#8217;t like the white of the PVC &#8230; paint it! Distress it! Make it look like wood. Any way you want it. Because this is awesome.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.homemademamas.net/2010/06/lush-garden.html" target="_blank">I&#8217;ve been pondering how to make something like this work</a> and now I know that all I have to do is try. No need to buy the ornaments for $40 &#8230; just reuse a wine bottle or fancy Izzy pop bottle, french lemonade bottle? Whatever you&#8217;ve got. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.allthingsheartandhome.com/2010/06/01/sea-glass-wreath/" target="_blank">Sea glass wreath</a> between the wreathes and the bunting garlands, I apparently have a lot of doors and walls to decorate. OR! How about we just have more parties. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.prudentbaby.com/2010/05/diy-yarn-sun-wall-art.html?" target="_blank">Yarn wall art</a> this is cooler than it sounds. I promise.</p>
<p><A href="http://www.bugaboo.com/connect" target="_blank">PRINTABLE! FREE!</a> ok, these are awesome. You&#8217;ll have to click around and scroll down for this one, but go to the day trips and then play around. You can download amazing and very beautiful city scape walking trips which you can stow away for a vacation or frame and hang on a wall. I&#8217;ve downloaded most of them for wall art. Now I just need a trip to IKEA for frames.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/06/something-free-five-lifesavers/" target="_blank">Have a reason to be making a baby book?</a> either as a shower gift or one for your own joyful home?
