Tile Coasters

This was such a fun and easy project to make!

I cannot wait to make more! The tiles cost 16 cents each! Love it. I learned how to make them and got the idea from Blueprint Crafts. They have a great tutorial on how to make them. Also, I tested them out and they really do work.

 I wanted to make sure the clear acrylic spray that I used

 to seal them worked before I gave them away as presents. That would be ackward :)

Cross Stitch Organization

A few years ago I realized I needed some way to organize my cross stitch patterns. They were growing and multiplying and I didn't have a good system for them.

And frankly, I LOVE organizing. 

The best part is that you probably have all of the supplies if not all of them at your house already. 

 It's simple but effective.

All you need is a 3 prong folder and clear

plastic sleeves. That's it!

Here are some photos.... 

I store my finished cross stitches that I haven't framed yet,

 in a plastic bag in the front pocket.

Seven Thirty Three was nice enough to share these free Halloween Topper's with us. Cut them out, fold in half

and afix to the top of a bag. They are made to fit

perfectly over a zip lock bag! So smart.

Easy Halloween Centerpiece

Here is a super duper easy Halloween centerpiece
that only uses 3 items. Wine Glass (or another kind of
glass), candy corn and a votive candle.
Thanks Poppies at Play for the great idea! 

Witch's Shoe

I actually made these adorable witch's shoes last year for the Young Women at church. Well not just me, we had about

3 people assembling them. They were really easy to make, especially if you are only making a few.

Here is the Template from Skip to my Lou.

My friend made some last year for her families Halloween party and put them on the tables. Very good idea!

Ribbon Pumpkins

I am a big fan of easy. So therefore I'm a big fan of these pumpkins that The Crafting Chick made after seeing something like them in Potterybarn. Just add ribbon!



Halloween Cupcake Toppers

The Crafting Chicks are helping us out again with the

 free printables! Here are some cupcake toppers.

It says on the blog to just right click the images,

save them and print them. Thanks for sharing!



Trick or Treat Banner

The Crafting Chicks just put the cutest Trick or Treat Banner on their blog and they gave us the file so we can print

it out and make it ourselves! Love that!!

Please visit their site for the tutorial. Here is the free file. http://www.4shared.com/photo/p_LGLQMJ/trick_or_treat_banner_letters.html

Oh and did I mention, no Cricut required to make it!

Check Your Pockets

Love this idea for your laundry room from Love Stitched!

 I cannot even begin to tell you the things that have made it through our wash because of not checking pockets! :)

I am about to have a laundry room and I am going to

have to make myself a sign like this.

Please see their blog for the full tutorial.



Fabric Covered Mat

I really like finding things I've never seen or thought of doing. Just like this fabric mat by Delightful Distractions.

Just another reason to love Modge Podge!
