DIY Spring sewing pin cushion with storage

{DIY SPRING PIN CUSHION}
Materials needed:
An empty candle jar with a lid
Hot glue gun
ribbon
the fabric of your choice
Optional decorative flower
Scissors
poly-fil


Start off by cutting your fabric to place onto your lid.
I took a marker and traced a circle a little bigger than the lid
Using my poly-fil I glued it onto the lid.

 After I  took my fabric and covered the poly-fil and started gluing my fabric to the underside of
my lid. I usually have bad luck when doing this and it seems as though the lid won't close completely
But I used a thinner fabric and the top actually grips the jar, so it worked out.

Your lid should be able to fit securely onto your jar.
I then took my hot glue and applied my ribbon around the bottom of my cushion.
This is optional, but if you would like, add a flower to add just a little extra cuteness to your pin cushion.
Enjoy!

It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...

I've decided to completely dig up my flowerbeds and start each of them over next growing season. The heat did a number on my flowers this growing season. Our grass also did not do well this year. So now we are left with so many decisions about what to do next.  I'm excited to share the wonderful featured posts with everyone. As always, thank you to each of you who participates in the party each week.

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #78! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting ideas.  How is everyone doing? I hope all is well with each of you! This week, the weather was beautiful. Of course, it's a tease—where we live, they call it "false Spring." I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, we’re taking daily walks, and the sunsets have been stunning. There’s still snow on the mountains, but we had a wonderful visit to the nature center where we admired some beautiful artwork. Congratulations to our featured bloggers - Amy from Amy's Creative Pursuits shared her "Summer Jobs Dirty Dozen Card Making" project. Be sure to visit her site to see the adorable cards she created; my personal favorite is the canning card! - Our Grand Lives posted a fantastic post titled "Baking with Littles,...
