Some Pinterest Easter Decor

I have tried some really great recipes from Pinterest, but it had been awhile since I completed a craft project.  So, I decided to go with a couple of Easter decorations.  This basket was a lot of work and my fingertips are really sore, but I am happy with the way it came out.  



Here is the tutorial that I used from Pinterest and it was originally designed by: Vanessa at V and Co

Here are a few photos of the process:











Now on to some easter egg garland!

Feelin' Crafty

I have been working on a few little projects from Pinterest.  I found some great ideas especially for Valentine's day!  


Chocolate covered strawberries for the Super Bowl.  Dairy free version for me!


 Braden and I made some Valentine's



The homemade Butterfinger recipe is delicious!!


Unfortunately, not all of my projects were a success.  I tried making an infinity type wrap dress, but the measurements just didn't work out.  So, onto another project...

Finally, I have also been working on a little photo project designed by Clare Norton Photography.  She has created different themes for each day during the month of February.  Check out some of the photos on Facebook.
