Our week.






















Friday is here. - I'm thrilled. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I may sleep in on Saturday or just the fact that I absolutely love when Friday comes around. :) We made it through the week. This week treated us well. Today I woke up feeling refreshed. - I baked some pumpkin doughnuts and sat for a few enjoying a quiet and peaceful morning.

This week- was a busy one. It snowed for two days and the temps dropped pretty low. We stayed inside. Keeping warm and enjoying some apple cider. I enjoy making it in the crock pot and letting it simmer throughout the day. - The house smells amazing! I've taken out all of our winter blankets and prepared the beds. 

Our oldest enjoyed a few crafts on the snow days. -We added food coloring to some snow and worked on a few coloring sheets. -I'm pretty sure she enjoyed herself. I've been using our crock pot quite a bit lately. -Last night we enjoyed a green beans and ham dish. - Green beans, potatoes, ham shank, chicken broth, onion, garlic, and a few other seasonings. -It was divine! 

This week we did some bowling. -In the kitchen, on the floor. It was so much fun. We didn't keep score. We just enjoyed our time spent together, making memories. This week we also have been planning our Thanksgiving dishes. Setting out our recipe book and picking up a few items from the store. -I'm so ready! I really enjoy Thanksgiving. - A day to be thankful, to enjoy your loved ones around the table, and all cook as a family. - I look forward to this time each year.

This week- I took out a few of my card supplies and started planning new designs. - My card shop is reopened. It's been a while and so I decided to reopen it again. -stephaniescharmingcreations
I'll create new designs soon! 

This week- my daughter wanted us to design a bracelet. We took out all the supplies and worked on creating a beaded bracelet. It was nice to have that bonding time with my oldest. At times I feel like all I do is nurse the baby and do housework. I'm slowly adjusting and finding more time for my oldest daughter and myself again. Often time’s mothers forget to focus on themselves and we as mothers must remember to take time for ourselves too!  

How did you spend your week? How's the weather where you live?

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections.

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone! A while ago, I purchased some pin cushions from my local Dollar Tree and stored them away, completely forgetting about them.
