Here's a way to freak out your neighbors while creating a fun afternoon craft for the kids. Simply cut styrofoam balls in half, paint with glow-in-the-dark paint, then dot the pupils with black. You can stick them anywhere although I found the eyes peering from the bushes the spookiest at night.</div>

We talked about making a tee-pee for the backyard and it wasn't until my husband threatened to buy on on Etsy that launched me into a craft frenzy. I found a great tutorial online that uses canvas tarps, wooden dowels and black fabric paint. I was able to complete the project in 1 weekend - painting included!</div>

Kids at this age are the best - so easily fooled and excited by most anything. This year for April Fool's Day, I found a few great ideas online. First up, the faux "grilled cheese" sandwich made of toasted pound cake (get the bread loaf shape) and orange frosting. I don't recommend the pre-mixed orange frosting. I started with white and added food coloring until it was just the perfect hue of cheddar.</div>

For our kid's school auction this year, the theme was Roaring 20's. Luckily I've been binge-watching Downton Abbey so I got some great ideas for my dress. I love the deco pattern on the sequin panel and the tassel necklace was the perfect accessory. Not to mention my handsome date!</div>

It's Christmas party season again and I'm always scrambling to find the right dress. This year I was inspired by a simple design I found online and challenged myself to create my own version. The final result was exactly what I wanted and it fit like a glove.</div>

When she chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, I agreed even if it wasn't a big costume challenge for me. Seeing the delight on her face when she put on the dress and ruby slippers made it all worthwhile.<br />
<br />
My son, on the other hand, is only 5 and easily persuaded to wear obscure costumes. He's really been into wrestling and super heroes, so my husband had the genius idea of making him Nacho Libre this year. Tights + muscles + mask + cape was a winning combination. He fell for it.<br />

This year in particular I am loving my domestic upgrades. I have been itching to recover our dining room chair seats for the past 2 years. I finally found a fabric with a print that I like and a pattern that will camouflage my kid's food spills. First weekend - 4 down, 2 to go! Costume season is right around the corner so I've got to switch gears after the final 2.<br />

The process was very technical, but the results were astonishing. This tablerunner took a good week of evening craft-time. Now I can kick up my feet and rest my cocktail without leaving rings on my table.<br />

I saved my 2+ hrs. of hand-stitched binding to complete on our recent road trip to California.

I consider myself quite crafty, but was not blessed with a green thumb. So this year we decided to have more fun with this dirt pit and make it fun for the kids too. My daughter loves fairies so the fairy garden was a great idea. I started with the tipped pot covered with succelents for her "home". Then the kids added their favorite stones and shells for her path. We found the fairy at our favorite toy store and plopped her inside.<br />

Every Valentine's Day I like to engage my kids in making something special for their classmates. This year we decided to make our own version of candy buttons. I found a simple recipe online for the candy, then had the kids cut their own hearts out of paper. We dried the candy on the hearts overnight, then attached them to colored construction paper. They were a big hit!Andrea DeHarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16317697633682325740noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414158619965309308.post-22022847403773130702014-02-09T20:51:00.000-08:002014-09-28T21:49:45.120-07:00Bowl-a-rama<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Super Bowl Sunday + 2 skeins of fat yarn + YouTube + beverage & a snack = arm knitting!<br />

As the kids are getting older, they suddenly have opinions as to what they want for costumes. This year Cooper wanted to be Paul Bunyan (yeah!) and Adeline chose to be a "Sleeping Fairy". I was up for the challenge.<br />

Paul Bunyan was a ton of fun. The crocheted the beard with the fuzziest yarn I could find. It took me a couple tries to get the size and mouth-hole positioned just right. I attached the beard to the hat so that it wouldn't slip around. I made the plaid shirt, blue pants and attached the suspenders to them. The shoulder pads were meant to make him look more brawny. The axe was another creative solve. Cooper found this great stick and I fashioned the blade out of black vinyl with polyfill stuffing. I used a silver metallic Sharpie to make the blade edges. I couldn't look at the kid with a straight face the entire evening.</div>

The Sleeping Fairy was a creative collaboration I had with my daughter. The gown was inspired by other fairy gowns and layered, sparkly chiffon. The satin is what makes it more nightgown-inspired. Finally, instead of a wand, we came up with the idea of a magical sleep mask that helps people sleep.</div>

So, for his 4th birthday, we decided to have a little fun with the game planning. My husband printed out tiled pages of of Cooper's face that we mounted to a large black foam core sheet and cut away the mouth. I whipped up some colored bean bags from fabric scraps and beans I found in the back of the cupboard. The kids had so much fun hurling bags at Cooper's face!<br />
