Little Birdie Secrets: not your mama's rubber gloves

Little Birdie Secrets: not your mama's rubber gloves

SNOW snow snow.....we had a fun week at the condo in hope idaho just north of sandpoint id what a great place this is the 4th year at this condo. we love it. this year we were under a record snowfall for a night 17 inches..

these are the aprons i handmade for the gals, humm looks like i missed little avery..


A $9 gingerbread house kit from walmart was well worth the money it came in perfect shape with all kinds of fun decorations. Elijah and i had lots of fun even though elijah was quite sick at the time.poor thing.

fabric wreath









ok well so the holidays are over and i now have a second to upload a wreath i made it is quite easy and even cheap - i would have picked different colors to have it more pleasing to the eye but here it is . now change out colors and i would be cute for whatever season you desire...





.start with strips of fabric 6 inchlong by 1/2 inch thick



get yourself a wire hanger- left over from a drycleaned item



bend the wire hanger into a circle



then just tie the fabric onto wreath. and whalla it will turn into a masterpiece. this would be a great girls slumber party craft or even for little kids...
