Thursday's Treasures

a wooden circle frame!? how AWESOME is that!? i *think* this entire purchase was under $15! =)

I bought all this stuff back in May, and I'm ashamed to admit that until today I haven't done anything but take the photos out of the frames!
Well, that ends today, as I begin my new venture into spray-painting! (Not the t-shirt of course! I have plans to repurpose those into leggings for Miss Chloe!)

I can't WAIT to share the finished projects with you!

Spray-paintin' blues,

summer treats..and a super cheap and easy craft!

It has been abnormally HOT and HUMID in my neck of the woods! Yesterday was ridiculous at a whooping 115F with the humidex! Today, we're at 105F. It is TOO hot for this mama! Poor baby girl's skin has been totally out of control and itchy.

As a way to escape the heat, we enjoy frozen treats! Freezies, being our favourite!

But, both the lil boogers have trouble holding onto the freezie between it being too cold, and slipping out of their hands!

As a solution, I crafted up some super easy freezie holders out of felt and embroidery thread!

Freezie Cozy Tutorial
 

What you need:

Felt approx 5.5" long and 2.5" wide

Thread/Embroidery thread

Make it:

Really, it's so simple! All I did was fold the piece of felt in half lengthwise, then hand-stitched up one long-side, across one short side and back down the opposite long-side! 

Slide freeze pop in (preferably your favourite flavour!), snip off the end and enjoy!

trying to keep cool,
