Having a "Ball"

One of my new favorite shows is Once Upon a Time on ABC.  I really didn't expect to like it, but because it is from the writers of Lost (my all-time favorite show...I miss you Jack) I decided to give it a chance.  It is based on fairy-tale characters who end up being cursed to live in the real world.  As usual, the writers are very clever in their development of the characters and plot.  My friend Allison and I have been getting together to watch it on Sunday nights and typically work on a little craft.  This Sunday I made the cutest fabric pom pom balls.  I took the tutorial pictures at Allison's with my iPhone so they are not perfectly clear, but you will get the idea.

I made different sizes with white, black, and red fabric.  I had fun displaying them in a variety of ways.

Great Valentine's Day Decor

Crafty Day

I was in a crafty mood yesterday.  During the day, Eliza and I worked on transforming some cardboard hearts, cut out of recycled cereal boxes, into cuteness.  We used tissue paper, cupcake liners, and other scraps to decorate the hearts.  Eliza loved pouring on the glitter of course.

Last night, the craftiness continued with my peeps, Allison and Angie.  Allison watched her beloved Syracuse and then we had to "suffer" through Miss America for Angie (ha ha).  We made burlap hearts by bending wire into the shape of a heart and adding strips of red burlap.  We cut the strips about 2 inches wide and fan folded them while putting them on the wire.

 

I think it turned out pretty cute.  All in all, it was a fun night.
