Fantastic Friday #28

It is Friday! I have been busy helping a friend this week with some designs on her living room wall. I just took the pictures and I will have a post about it hopefully next week. Her mom owns an antique shop and she came across some great stuff, you will love it!

There was lots of great stuff last week, thanks to all who linked up. I did not get a chance to visit all the links, it just seems like summer gets so busy around here. I really loved these wood dice from The 36th Avenue.

When I read her tutorial I loved them, she also shared a game that they played with them on her blog. My kids would totally love doing something like that.

Fantastic Friday #27

Oh, to be 27 again . . . anyway, this has been a week. I have a project that is almost finished - well it was finished until one piece fell and broke! So now it is back to almost. I apologize that I have not gotten much up on here this week - but I hope to have something good for you next week.

Even though I have not had much success in finishing projects, you all shared some great stuff at last week's party! I loved looking through all the links - especially when it was pouring rain and I just sat in bed looking at your creations!

I decided against the 'likes' feature because no one used it last time. Instead I will share the one that got the most views. Which was this awesome bedroom redo by Jessica at My World Made by Hand. I just love the duvet cover! I could totally have a room like this!

Fantastic Friday #26

It is Friday!! We have had a super busy week here, with the festivities of the 4th and then just out and about doing stuff. It has been great. And we have actually got a little bit a cooler weather this week! It has been nice, even though I got caught in a storm during my run yesterday.

Last week's party was a little bit small, but I think it was because of the holiday weekend. There was a lot of great stuff shared though. I loved looking at the creativity that is out there.

I chose to feature this IPad pouch tutorial, but the Suburbs Mama. I love that she knew what she wanted and then she made it herself! Way to go!

Grab a button and lets get onto the party! I decided to try something new this week. I have seen those 'like' things on other linky parties, and thought I would give it a try. I will feature the one that was 'liked' the most and the one I choose next week!

Fantastic Friday #25

Okay, I do not know about all of you, but I cannot believe that it is July!! Where is my summer going! I am sure that you all have been crazy busy with everything summer, just like we are here, but thank you so much for linking up each week! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy seeing all of your creativity.

Last week there was so much goodness found on here! If you did not get a chance to look through the links, you really should. I could feature each and everyone! I could not even narrow it down to one, so today you get two!

First up I have this fabulous Drape Front Cardigan from grey luster girl. Seriously, is not this perfect for dressing up your summer t-shirt attire. (Well that is what I wear everyday of the summer). I need to make one of these.

Next we have an awesome family sign, by Pink Ink Doodle. I love how the picture frames and letters are all a little different. I think that this would also look great with a last name!

Fantastic Friday #24

Hello all! This has been a crazy busy week for me, but we are done with swimming lessons today, and so hopefully next week will be less crazy! I hope that you all have been having a great summer. I loved looking at everything that you all made, I especially loved this beach bag. I don't live by the beach any more, which I am a little bit sad about, but life goes on, But it is such a great idea for the park, or the lake.

She gives great instructions on how to make them - and get this, they are made from a screen! You all need to check this out!

Fantastic Friday #23

It is Friday!!!! This week has been long and busy for me, but it has been a ton of fun, unfortunately I have a sunburn on my knees - yeah it is great. Tomorrow is Thing #4's birthday so we have a few festivities to plan, yep I am a little bit last minute. Should make for an exciting and fun filled weekend though.

Anyway on to the partay! Last week there were so many great things to browse through, I had so much fun looking at everything you guys made! I just fell in love with this bag. I am not sure if I love it because it is yellow or because it looks so functional and pretty all in one. Or if maybe I just want a new bag and I am trying to hold off making or buying one. Bethany is a pro at making bags, she makes a ton! and her blog is great, I always smile when I read it.

Fantastic Friday #22

It is Friday! I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things, but we are here today!  There was no party last week and the week before there were a ton of great ideas shared! My favorite was this beautiful maxi dress.

I love how simple and classic this dress is! I could use one or two of these in my closet! And she makes it seem so easy to make! I think I might have to make a run to the fabric store and get me some supplies to make me my own dress! You need to go and check this out, and everything else DeniseAngela makes - the girl has some serious sewing talent!

Fantastic Friday #20

I don't know about all of you, but this week has been a little bit crazy! Yesterday was our last day of school, so I have been up to the school just about everyday for one of the kids! And now the chaos reigns supreme at our house! I am in the planning stages of some awesome summer activities for them. I am not sure if I will post as much this summer because I want to spend time with my kids and enjoy them while they are still little - I will try to get a post or two up a week. But I am not sure how my crafting time will be. Ahhh, the joys of summer! Of course we will still have our Fantastic party every Friday!!!!

On to our party! Last weeks party was great, a little small, but I blame blogger for that because it was down half the day. But, there were so many great ideas out there! I did not get a chance to comment on all of them, but I did visit the links! And I had such a hard time choosing one to feature! I cannot believe the stuff that you all have been working on!

I did choose this awesome Art Activity Wall by a Girl in Air. This is just the coolest thing that I have seen! I know my little boys would love to have something like this anywhere in our house! And she give great instructions on how to make this yourself! While you are there, check out everything else that she has made! She has some great ideas!

Fantastic Friday #19

Yea! Blogger is back up, and my house is clean as well. Conan will be so impressed when he comes home from work today. However, I am missing the post that I did yesterday.  . .

Last week's party was a little bit small, but there were some great ideas linked up. My favorite were these onsies that Oxford impressions made. They are super cute and a great idea for a baby gift. I have a friend who just had twin boys, and I have been trying to decide what to give to her, now I have the perfect gift. She even made some that were flowers, which will work for girls. I am thinking that I might make up a few for both gender to have on hand.

It is F.R.I.D.A.Y.!!! I am super excited about this! Well except for the fact that Conan has to work tonight, oh well, the world will be safer! And the weather is finally nice! It seems like every weekend here the weather will turn super cold and windy! But it is not supposed to this weekend, so we are going to a BBQ with some friends.

Anywho . . . last weeks party was awesome! I want to thank all of you for linking up. I love looking through everything you all link up! It is great! I have a very large list of things I want to make now! This week I chose to feature this beautiful Menu Chart by Creative Mommas. She gives excellent instructions how to make your own. And it is just beautiful, I like the classic black and white. I also love this because I have no wall space in my kitchen, and I love the idea of a menu board. This is perfect - now I just need to clean off a space on the fridge for it!

Fantastic Friday #17

Can you believe that it is Friday all ready?! I hope that you have all had a great week, and that it has been productive. I have a quilt up on my frame that I am super close to finishing quilting, and when I get close to the end I just get a little bit antsy and just want it done! At this rate, I should have it done to show you next week!

Last weeks party was huge! It was so much fun to browse through all the links and look at all the inspiration and craftiness of all you guys! I just loved it - and I probably spent way too much time looking through all of your blogs! But boy I had a good time doing it!

This week I chose to feature these awesome bathroom signs from Turbo Bubble Gum. I have a really hard time decorating the bathroom. It is so hard for me that I just don't do it. I basically just hang the same pressed flower pictures in the guest bathroom and call it good! But anyway, she made these signs as a knock-off from Land of Nod, and I have to say that I like her version a lot better!  These signs are great - I happen to have a couple of boys that could use this reminder - just about everyday!

Fantastic Friday #16

Our party has reached it's Sweet 16 . . . wow, can I just say that time has flown by! And in my house it seems to be going faster, now slowing down! Last week's party was great, there were so many fun projects, it was hard to choose one to feature.

I did choose to feature this awesome Easter Egg Bouquet by Ms Not so Perfect. This is so perfect for Easter, and she had everything right at home. And it is super cute and easy. I just loved it. I might have to make this up this weekend with my girl.

It's that time again . . . time for you all to show me what it is all about! This week has flown by, but then again when do they not!? I have gotten a few things done and so that is nice. But I am really just excited to see what inspiration you all have for me! And can you believe that we have been at this for 15 weeks?! Crazy huh.

Last week was a great party - there were so many fun projects shared! I wasn't able to comment on all of them, but I did visit them and was wowed by everything that you all have made! This week I chose to feature a DIY rug from the Rhinestone Beagle. Anita gave us wonderful instructions on how to make a runner from carpet tiles and some duct tape - ingenious! It is so easy, I am already thinking of where this would be perfect in my home! Go and check out her tutorial and everything else that she has made!

Fantastic Friday #14

IT"S FRIDAY!!!!

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on the internet this week. Thing #5 has been getting over being sick, and just wanted me to hold him . . . all the time!! So I was not able to get much done, but I did find a lot of cool stuff and my list to make is pretty big right now! Please tell me I am not the only one who has a mile long list! :) Today we are supposed to have some warm weather so I am hoping to get some outside stuff done, and maybe a little bit of painting!

Last weeks party was great, there were so many fun creations out there. You guys continually amaze me with your talents. This week I chose to feature Carrie over at Fine & Handy for this awesome makeover with paint. She had this great crown - I just love the fleur-de-lis on it - and it was a little so, so to start with and then she painted, sanded, and had a new beautiful crown container! I just love the way it looks! Carrie is super talented and had a great blog, I have featured her before here, you should go and check her out!
