This is my first week being at home. (LO is staying in childcare until end of May) I spent the first part of the morning job-hunting. And now I'm working on stuff for LO's birthday party (and watching HGTV). I should be outside because it's beautiful but I have a headache. This banner is only halfway done...ugh.
Anyone else working on some cute crafts right now?

@mrsjazz: ohmygod! SO cute! Which tutorial did you use for the poms? I love how full they are.

@regberadaisy: trial and error. I tried 3 diff tutorials: using my fingers, using a fork, and using a rectangular piece of cardboard. I didn't want to buy one of those pom pom makers, so the cardboard ended up being the best, I made a couple and realized the more yarn you use, thicker the flower, and the closer you cut to the middle the denser the flower will be...if that makes any sense.

@runsyellowlites: Cute. I love the popcorn containers. Are those cups in the last photo from Shop Sweet Lulu? I am looking for a cheap vase alternative and was looking at those--they seem a little more opaque in your photo than on the site (which is perfect for me!)

Those look awesome!!! I'm impressed. There is no amount of off time that could make me halfway decent at crafts:( I know how to do HGTV all day though...

@mrsjazz: No I got them from tomkat studio b/c they came 12 in a set & w/o spoons, which I didn't need... And were & little bigger (in diameter) & cheaper!

@yourekindapretty: I totally have those pinned but have been to chicken to try them! I wonder if they would still work for my crawler/stander. She's not quite cruising yet & spends most her days inside.. hmmmmmm..

@TurtleDoves: Well, if you make something that doesn't look good, you could post it on Pinterest Fail!
@yourekindapretty: So cute!
