The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 94

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #94! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. Lately... This week, temperatures in our area have reached the upper 90s. The invasion of grasshoppers has slowly begun, and, of course, my youngest is scared of them! She worries that they might jump and land on her.  I finally managed to add my peppers to the garden. I left them on the porch while I prepared the rest of the space. To help keep the grasshoppers from nibbling on the leaves, I made some homemade garlic spray. Fingers crossed that it works!  It's always challenging to choose the featured posts because you all share such amazing content, and I love reading each and every one of your submissions. As alwa ys, a big THANK YOU for joining us here each week! Congratulations to our featured bloggers Susan over at From Bay to Beach has shared a transformat...

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. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #92! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting  ideas. Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you’re well. How's the weather where you live?  We've been getting a lot of rain, and some days we’ve had to go back to wearing sweaters. I remind myself that it's okay, and we really could use these rainy days. For those of you who follow my Instagram (I only have an Instagram for my craft blog account, but feel free to follow me there if you’d like, and I'll be sure to follow you back- Stephcreatesdiyhomeandcrafts) , I posted a story of the cutest thing we witnessed. I bought a new hummingbird swing, and there’s one that just loves it. It was a rainy day, and it came by for a quick drink and rest.  Also, if you have some time, I wanted to share this picture of the last crochet project my daughter created. It's a p...
