Back to School

I've found another project to add to my list of Things I'd Like to Make But May Never Get To. This pencil holder and bowl from Pottery Barn Kids. Here's how I'd attempt it:

Get a bunch of No.2 pencils of varying lengths, tie them together around a glass jar (maybe jam, or salsa, mmmm). Then I would glue them all together, let it dry, (remove the string/rubberband that held them together) and take some spray paint to it. Lots of spray paint. Lay it on nice and thick. The paper clip bowl I would probably use some sort of baking clay and mold it around a glass bowl, then press paperclips into the clay. Bake if necessary (after removing the glass bowl), and coat in spray paint. I would make mine yellowy yellow. To match my desk legs. If you try this at home, send me an email and a photo! Pin It

Jaime, over at I Suwannee, has some great rainbow inspirations--which are very much in line with what I'm planning for Ava's 1st birthday party. Click her link to see many more images (with link info).

Custom Letter

Did you think I died? Nope, I'm still here. Just keeping very busy.
Here's a great tutorial on how to customize a paper mache letter to the font of your choice, because the options at the craft store are a bit ordinary.

From Zan at Me Like Stuff. And while I was there, I also so a fun tutorial on how to customize your Chucks. But what I love is the background--the green wall with all the frames on it. Fabulous.

I'm  dying for these adorable clothes from Lunchbox Clothing. Too bad they don't come in Ava's size (or soon to be size).
