So after I made the wood blocks for Bunco back in December, I asked my Dad to make just a few more cuts for me. And from those I made some blocks to put on my table seasonally. Since this is my new holiday command central of sorts. My house seemed so boring after the Christmas stuff all came down, so I made a little January display with my 'Keep Calm and Snow On"printable and SNOW blocks.
It drove me crazy that I couldn't find something to fill my apothecary jars, I wanted some faux snow, but of course as soon as Christmas is done it is impossible to find, so I will keep my eye out early next year!
This is one project that as soon as I pinned it I knew I HAD to make it. Sorting socks it a bit of a running joke around here. I have bins of them, bags of them, boxes of them! I took this picture and emailed it to my Mom saying "Look, I created your very own department at Beck Inc." To which she replied, "Do you think there are enough clothes pins?" So, I added some more, and after I took out ALLLLLL the socks I matched a ton and now, I only have about as many missings as I have clothes pins. I'd say 50% are infant socks. The rest are either Rusty's dress socks or a hodge podge of the other boys socks. I really do use this, having them right there where I can see them makes a HUGE difference to mating pairs back up!
These little Converation Hearts I pinned burned a HOLE in my brain until I made them. They were so easy. The hearts were at Hobby Lobby for a dollar and then I used some Martha Stewart paints to give em a coat. The vinyl I cut with my Silhouette in red. The cutest was Brenner, he loved showing me where his name was every single time!
I want to make one simple one of a four leaf clover to put out for St. Patrick's Day. I have a "Keep Calm and Leprechaun" printable. And my Valentine's Day one says "Keep Calm and Be Mine." I also am in the process of making about a million, or so it feels that way, green and white yarn pom poms to fill the large apothecary. I can't wait to put up Easter, it's one of my favorite to decorate for.
