welcome!

I have always loved to create, design, play with color and textiles since I was a little. This is my outlet and the way I use my spare time. Granted, I like you, probably don't and won't ever have as much spare time as I'd like BUT I do try to make the most of it. Enjoy your spare time browsing my blog.

The Best Hair Gel!!!

So....I have 2 little boys that have hair that sticks up pretty good..if that's the look you're going for. One of the boys has really wirey hair and some good cowlicks! I have tried a vast quantity of different hair gels. But guys and girls! I have found the answer! See below. It's awesome. No hairspray needed, it makes their hair stay through and throughout the day regardless of the activity! I don't use a ton on the 1 year old but enough to hold that hair up in the front and down in the back. Seriously, go get this stuff. You can find it at your local grocery store/Target/Walmart etc. It was only $5.99. BUT make sure you get exactly what is below. Yellow tube, silver top, spiking glue. The Got 2 be Glued brand has a ton of products!

Cards

Here is a card that I really love. It's not THAT difficult, just somewhat time consuming. I think the hardest part is the scalloped curved edge that is so pretty!


Quilt Block of the Month

I have found a quilt store that does a quilt block of the month for the whole year and then at the end you purchase the fabric for the sashing, borders and backing and sew the rest together and it's done! I like doing quilts this way IF I like the fabric and design. It teaches me new techniques or ways to put blocks together. I REALLY like this fabric line (don't know it off the top of my head) and love the colors. I'm going to make a king out of it for my bedroom. It's a good way to make a quilt because you do minimal every month then the quilt is half done by the end of the year and it's a matter of 10 hours max to put it together....well and then the quilting, whatever route you decide to go there. If you're interested, most cities have a quilt store that does something similar. It cost me $30 for the year for all the material and patterns for 12 different quilt squares.
