Liquid Sidewalk Chalk

Yesterday, while browsing Pinterest, I came across several posts for liquid sidewalk chalk. It's equal parts water and cornstarch, with a little food coloring thrown in. I made mine too thin, but it worked anyways.

In progress...


The aftermath...

The whole porch was covered. They painted the columns, the chairs, the swing. We even tried painting the trees.

Covered head to toe...

Links!

I'm almost done with my very geeky cross stitch! However, I've been distracted lately by the Lego Star Wars III video game lately.

In other news... I've added a few new links to our sidebar...

Not Martha- has some fun tutorials, but I love her links posts the best. I always find something interesting through her!

Chez Larsson- Swedish blogger, loves white. I love seeing what she's doing with her spaces.

Enjoy new links!!

Like I said a few days ago, I've been inspired by some things I've found on Pinterest! Yesterday, I got started on a sampler inspired by this embroidery piece by GeekySweetheart. Hilarious, no?! She has the pattern available on her website.

I'm not so confident in my embroidery skillz, though, so I decided to go the cross-stitch route.
I think I need smaller graph paper...

Shorts Update

After a disastrous first pair, I bought a pattern. The last three turned out great! He loves his orange pair!


The red racing stripes turned out especially well!


Of course, wiggly Baby needed to get in on the photo action.

I finally joined Pinterest, and I'm a little bit obsessed. I'm getting lots of crafty ideas, and I don't know where to start!!

There's an awesome scarf, a very funny embroidery piece, jewelry display and some button hairpins that are at the top of my list.

Also, I've been seeing some very, very beautiful tattoos!

I've been in a small crafting hiatus because of very busy life things, but I'm excited to have some new ideas!
