Printout & Keep: Monster Beanie
It was Spirit Week at my sons preschool a few weeks ago, and each day had a theme where the kiddos could dress up special for each particular day. One day was called crazy hat day. Since we don't have an abundance of crazy hats laying around the house, I decided to make one and that's when the Monster Beanie was born!
This hat turned out so cute and we received so many compliments on it, that I decided to make a tutorial for all of you!
Supplies:
Plain Knit Beanie Cap - I stole one from my hubbies stash!
One Sheet each of white(I actually used glitter felt), green, red, blue, yellow, and black felt
Thread to match and a sewing needle
Scissors
Fabric glue - I LOVE Aleene's Fabric Fusion
Monster Pattern Pieces, you can print them out by clicking the pic below...
What To Do:
Print out the Monster template and trace onto felt. Cut the felt pieces out and glue (or sew) them on the beanie as shown. I did this hat last minute, so I just used a some fabric glue to adhere the pieces, if I were to do this again, I would sew the pieces on! The green spikes on top of the beanie were hand sewed using a blanket stitch! Enjoy this tutorial and if you make this hat, please let me know, I would love to see it!!

Kid Craft: Potato Stamps // Valentine Style
My almost 4 year old is starting to not nap, boo... so to keep him intertained we usually come up with some fun art & craft for him to do!
Have you ever made potato stamps with your kiddos? So easy to make! Carve your shape out of a half of a potato, add paint, paper, and you are good to go!
This buys me at least 30 minutes of "Mommy time" :)

Dollar Tree votives, tea lights, glue stick, fall leaves.... last minute holiday table decor!
Collect those pretty Fall leaves from outside. Put some washable glue on the back of the leaves, then place on your glass votive, add a battery operated tea light and enjoy! Once you are done with these, simply peel off the leaves and wash the glass with soap and water :)
These will be on my Thanksgiving table!

Twenty Pounds of Apples
I recently took the kiddos to an apple orchard that is about 30 minutes from our home. Apple Hill. I've been going here since I was a kid and it was fun to take the littles up there to start a new Fall tradition!
Anyway this place has fresh picked apples, natural apple juice, apple donuts & fritters (my personal favorite) and every other kind of apple something or another you can think of!
Needless to say I came home with a lovely bounty of appley goodness, which included twenty pounds of apples for $19.50! What do you do with 20 pounds of local Jonathan apples you ask?
I'll show you...
Apple Pie. I actually made two, but when warm apple pie comes out of the oven it's hard to photograph when it's almost half eaten!
Apple Sauce. Made about 12 pints, so good and just a little bit of sugar was needed!
Then I turned the applesauce into Apple Butter! This recipe is what I used to make it (in the crock pot!), and it is to die for good!
And we still had about 15 apples left over for snacking!
Whew, I think I'm all appled out, until next year! ;)

Halloween Candy Corn Wreath
My Halloween wreath made with hot glued candy corn! Bought the grapevine wreath at Micheal's, spray painted it black, and there you have it! I'll be adding it to the front door with some orange ribbon later.
Update: 10/24/2011
Here it is finished and hanging from the front door. The only thing I would do different a (and still might do) is apply a clear spray varnish on the candy corn, because after a few days of being out doors they are starting to get moist (ew) ;P

Vintage Camera Night Light
I have a small collection of vintage cameras, which I have lovingly displayed in a corner of my home. I had one camera in particular, a Brownie Hawkeye, that had seen it's better days, but saw saw that the broken flash could be re-purposed into something awesome!
I had on hand a LCD "tea light" that I bought from the dollar store around Halloween time, and it was just the right size for this project. I armed myself with the latest and greatest tools (a butter knife, and two screw drivers). Then I was all set to turn this old camera and it's flash into some sah-weet mood lighting.
Sorry for the shoddy photos, I did this project on a whim, and took the pics as and afterthought!
Here's how it worked...
Had to pry this baby open with the butter knife, it took some strength let me tell ya!
This little piece was already part of the flash housing and fit the rubber part of the LCD light perfectly.
After the light was in place I assembled all the pieces back together, it all fit like a dream!
All done.
The only downside of this piece is that you have to unscrew the back of the flash plate every time you want to turn on & off the light, but it all came together rather easily and I'm super pleased with the end result!

Freebie Friday : Homemade Pennant Bunting
I love the idea of hanging pennants/bunting, whether it be made from paper, recycled materials, or fabric. It adds such a touch of happy to any room. I had big plans to make both of my boys personalized bunting for each of their rooms, but never seem to have the time to sit at my sewing machine anymore. I do however have mad skills on the computer from time to time so, I thought why not make printable paper pennants!
My little Holden is turning three next week (sniff sniff) I thought these pennants would be a perfect little happy b-day surprise for his room...
Since I love a good freebie and like to share with my readers, I'm offering you a free printout of these pennants. Download it & save it to your computer, add the font you wish then print onto cardstock (multiple times if you wish) use a hole punch at the corners, add some ribbon and attach to your wall!
This is for your personal use only, if you make some of this pennant bunting from this printout I would love to see it! So don't be afraid to let me know, link back here, or upload a pic to my Flickr Pool!
Enjoy :)
