VIDEO tutorial on my Pom Pom Snowballs!

I am over here today showing you how to make your very own indoor snowballs!

EXTRA for my WeedsToWishes lovelies...here is an additional VIDEO tutorial for you on these snowballs. Let me say that I don't know why it uploaded the way it did (smaller than the screen) to You Tube and I will see if I can fix it later tonight... but the filming of this video this took like 2 hours to record for various reasons such as the camera not recording when we thought it was, baby having a diaper blowout, a pesky fly, and a bunch of other interruptions...so its the best we could do- if all else very entertaining!

 Hope it helps!

Hot Chocolate + Christmas Music = Heaven

So I thought I share how I did the chocolate spoons. I found these spoons at Zurchers and were from an etsy shop called Sucre Shop.


I grabbed some of the Hot chocolate toppings I used to make the hot chocolate jars.


...and then dipped in the warm chocolate melts and let cool for like 20 seconds before dipping them in the topping. I experimented to see what I liked the best.

I also decided that I should put them in small bags to give with my gift- just to keep them clean!

Stay tuned to find out about the Christmas Download that Bianca Merkley just came out with to help the Hurricane Sandy victims!

Drawstring Bag DIY

Thanks for visiting! 

Today I am at How Does She talking to you about the game "Story in a Bag." Check it out to find more about it!

But don't worry- I will be going further with you this week about the importance of using story telling with your children and how to watch for themes and signs in their stories that may mean something is going on deeper than you know. 

But first you need a bag! 

Here is a simple bag you can make from a scrap piece fabric. 

Warning: I have limited sewing experience so don't look to closely at my skills... 

 here is how I made a bag for this game.

1. Cut out a rectangle and pin right sides together.

2. Sew up both sides until you reach about 2 inches from the top.

3. fold down seams and iron them flat

 4. Iron 1/4 inch of the top 

 5. Fold down over and iron again

 6. Sew across both sides to create casing for the sting to go therough. 

7. With the seam in the middle fold your bag like this: 

8. Measure and draw a line straight across parallel from the top. 

9. Cut on the line.

10. Sew each side along the line

11. Turn it right side out...and Voila! A bag!

12. Find some cord or string and thread it through the top casing.

 And enjoy your bag!
