Snow Dyeing!!!!

   My boss at work told me about snow dyeing fabric...just in time too...

We got 6 inches of snow last night!!!!

So we thought we would try it...here's what we did...

Dry fabric crumpled up...

 Added snow just covering the fabric...

Ella pouring dye on...

Ian's turn...

Ella again...

Sitting by the heater...letting snow melt...we went outside for about an hour and a half to play....and then cuz I couldn't wait any longer...when we came in I dumped the snow and started rinsing...first really HOT water then cold water...then the dryer!

Not super bright...probably should have left it longer...

Before and after...the before is bad lighting...they are white and cream...I like the "sherbert"color that came out!!!

Ella's LaLaLucy

   Ella wanted a "LaLa Lucy" (it's really called LaLaLoopsy but she calls it Lucy) anyway...so I made her one...I used this pattern...

And it was suppose to look like this...

  

    And I made this....

   It may not look exactly like her...but Ella LOVES her...told me it was the BEST LaLaLucy she has ever seen! :D She's a good girl! LOL

Charlie's Pillow

   

One of our friends is babysitting for us so we can go out for my birthday...and as payment...I made her this SUPER cuddly pillow!!!! It's made of Cuddle Fleece...

I think she will LOVE it! :D

Bed Table / TV tray

   Paul and I were talking randomly today how it would be nice to have a tv tray type thing to go by the bed for when we are watching something in there and want a place for our drinks or the kid's snacks..so..the kids and I went to Menards and after some much needed running around for the kids (they have a playground set up inside) we grabbed some random things and headed home...and after an hour of sawing and sanding and screwing and nailing...I made this...

Ian HAD to be in the picture...and yes I will put some kind of finish on it...and I'm going to glue FELT to the bottom so it doesn't scrape up my pretty floors!

It is level...the angle is weird cuz of the picture or something

Then they both had to be in the pictures! LOL

And now Ian doesn't care anymore! LOL

   So after I slap on some paint or stain and poly...it will be a GREAT little table for by the bed!!!! Oh and I bought little pieces of wood from the BARGAIN bin at Menards...so the wood only cost me $1.74 and I already owned the brackets...so I made this for less than $2!!!
