My Little Unicorn

A few months ago my our family went to Lava Hot Springs for the day then off to Golden Corral. My kids were in heaven when they saw the buffet. What kid wouldn't love it.  The best part for them was the cotton candy.  After it was all gone the paper cone that the cotton candy was on became her unicorn horn.

My Little Miss is obsessed with Unicorns right now.  So I thought it would be fun to add a Unicorn to her dress up box. I also think it  would be fun to use it for Halloween.  So here is what I did.

Supply List:
Felt- 2 colors if doing the ears
headband
needle and thread
Glue gun  & Glue sticks
Coordinating trim
Safety pin
a bit of stuffing
ribbon (Optional)
Horn Pattern (Here)

Cut the horn and ears according to pattern pieces. Cut 2 of each ear piece and attachments and 1 horn.

Layer ear pieces.  Large and 1 small.  Stitch a basting stitch along bottom of ears combining pieces.  Pull to gather and tie off. Set aside.

Roll your horn to make a cone shape. Over lap the edges and pin them together. Slip stitch the edges together.

Lightly fill with stuffing.

Pinch in half.  with stitched edge on the side. Slip stitch 1 inch section in the center.

Then bring sides into center and slip stitch closed. This will leave you a small pocket for the headband to thread through.

With your trim, start at the top and wrap it around your horn.  Stitch or glue it to the inside pocket at the bottom.

Slide horn onto the headband. 

Glue felt rectangles to headband. One on each side of the horn.

Glue horn into place.  I like to angle mine a bit.

To add ears, add some glue to the headband.  place ear on top of blue.  Then add a strip of glue to the front and back. Pull felt around the headband and onto the ears.

 Add trim around the ears.

Your Unicorn horn and ears are all done and ready for playing.

Date Night for 2 {Porch Makeover}

For anyone who has young kiddos like me, you know it's hard to get a date night with your sweetheart. Right? We struggle to get out once a week with little ones.  So I decide to transform my front porch into a Date Night for 2.  We sit out and watch the sunset, have adult conversation, sometimes we play games together on the I-pads.  We love to play Blokus.  Just sit back, relax, have a special treat and enjoy each others company. 

Onesie Neckties {Big Boy Style}

I found this great tutorial for Onesie ties over at Brassy Apple.  I love the simplicity of the little Onesies.  I started thinking, maybe I could give this a little more of a big boy look.  So I started playing around and came up with this.

Bathroom {Art} Printables

I have been needing to decorate my sons' bathroom. Since I have boys I was wanting something a little more masculine.  I thought these printable's would be perfect. A cute & funny reminder of what should take place in a bathroom.  Sometimes kids need a little help, right??? I saw something similar to these on the web one day and wanted to buy them or down load them or something. But alas, I had to make my own Bathroom Art.   Here is what I came up with.

Firecracker Table Decor

Firecrackers are always a great way to decorate for the 4th.  Here is a fun tutorial to use for your table scape or mantel.

Fancy House Numbers

How is your summer going??? Ours is in full swing.  The kids are home and we are trying to stay busy.  In between all the crazy I have been working on a few projects.  Here is one I think you will like.  I was talking with a friend of mine about my front porch. I have no clue what to do about it.  She told me about a show that shares tips for making your house appealing. From the outside.  (No cable at this house. Just digital rabbit ears for basic local stations).  On one of the episodes they mentioned 3 things to make you house look inviting from the outside. 
1. Paint your door a fun bright color.
2. Add Shutters
3. Have a fun way to display your house numbers.

So after contemplating each of them I decided that #3 was the way for me.

Here is my supply list:
1 lenght of Pine.  2x8
long rectangel brackets to secure boards together
screws
Paint colors of choice
numbers for my house
picture frame
chalkboard vinyl

I started with 1 length of pine. I cut it into lengths of 18 inches.  I ended up with 5 lengths with a few inches left. 

Next I spray painted my numbers black.  And sprayed my boards my color of choice.  I went with turquoise, burnt orange and white. I did a light coat, to let the wood grain show through a bit.

Sand your boards just a bit, if you like for a bit of a weathered look. 

Lay your dry boards together how you want them.  Flip them over and screw your bracket into place.

Once my brackets were secure I flipped my boards back over.  I placed my numbers where I waanted them and screwed them into place.

I added this frame so I could leave messages for visitors coming in.  Sleeping baby please knock, Leave packages at the door or Welcome friends.  Lots of options for this little frame.

So I found the frame at TJMaxx.  I sprayed it my favorite color (Turquoise) and took out the glass.  I cut a piece of chalk board vinyl I got from Pick Your Plum and placed it inside the frame.  I added the glass behind it and a piece of card board.  Took the back of the frame off.  It had a back with a stand on it that you could see if was on. 
I used 4 nails ot hang the frame on and keep it from moving. 

Hang your numbers outside your door and enjoy. I love the pop of color it adds to my front porch.

Do you see the nest on my front door wreath?  I made the wreath and hung it back in April.  Within 2 days a cute little Mama Robin began building her nest. She worked on it for a week. Then abandoned it because there was so much traffic.  Everyone askes me where I got the nest.  They can't believe a bird built it.  Someday I will take it down and save it for someplace special.

  

Thanks for sharing your Free Time with me.  Have a great week.
