Get Yourself a Holiday Treat

I love Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Products. I use the Lavender Hand Soap on a daily basis. This season get yourself this fantastic Peppermint duo. The peppermint is perfect. Not too strong. Just minty enough to make you feel festive. I promise you won't be disappointed.

What The...?!!?

So today the high in San Antonio was 83. I wore short sleeves. So what is the weather right now you ask?

We're having an ice storm!

Strange.

Marlow and Mercede

I had the opportunity to take some photos for a family that we go to church with last Saturday. This was my favorite picture of the day. I love candids. I love getting pictures that are completely natural. And although technically this picture isn't all that great. To me I think it is perfect. I'm just starting to learn photography and I love it. So you may just be seeing more and more images here on this blog. Here is one more that I think came out really good.

Fabric Christmas Ornament Tutorial

So I was planning on doing this a little different. When I went to the fabric store this morning I had a cute idea in my head for a Christmas tree because I had some green stripped fabric at home. When I got home I realized that my cute stripped fabric was blue and not green. Shoot! So I had to work with what I had. The star is not my favorite but I had yellow fabric. I threw it together really fast so it's not the cutest. However it will work. And I forgot a materials photo. Sorry!

MATERIALS
Pencil
Fusible Webbing
Fabric Scraps
Iron
Scissors
Felt
Embellishments

1. Peel paper off one side of fusible webbing and stick to wrong side of fabric (I only had a jagged scrap but as long as it fits your design it doesn't matter!). Leave the other paper backing on for now. Iron onto fabric.




2. Trace pattern onto paper/fabric combo.







3. Cut out design. Then repeat. You will need two of whatever design you choose.






4. Choose one to be your front and one to be the back. Take the front, peel the second paper backing off and stick to felt. Iron on and cut out. If you want to add any embellishments (embroidery, sequins, beads, buttons, ect.) do it now.




5. Take the back side of your ornament and peel off the second paper backing. Align onto the back. Before you iron add your hanger. Loop string, ribbon, twine, whatever you like so that the ends are between felt and the sticky side of your back. Iron on. Your done! Photo at the top of page!

I'm going to give away a set of these ornaments in the shape of Christmas Trees! How many are in a set you ask? Three! So leave a comment on this post by Sunday! I'll announce the winner sometime on Monday! Check back then! Enjoy!
