100 days to go!

I have definitely been slacking on posting my wedding DIYs. Hopefully I can squeeze in a few more posts before our big day!! Here's what I've finished up so far!!


 First up, we've got a ring bearer pillow. I love love love the lace on this! Since we have three little men as our ring bearers, I'm going to make 2 smaller ones for the other two guys to carry.
 The centerpieces. These will have fresh daises and baby's breath in them. I can't wait to see the way the lights in the hall make them look. I have a feeling they're going to look amazing!
 These are the bridesmaids gifts. (I sure hope none of them follow my blog! lol) I have since filled them with items they'll need for the big day. Deodorant, mints, bobby pins, and some other goodies.
 My garter. Looking back, I wish I would have added "something blue" in there. Oh well. I'm sure I can find something blue.
 These lovely little flowers are for my bridesmaids. I am going with cute and simple for our wedding and I think these definitely fit!
 Squee!! My bouquet! I am so so so so thrilled with the way this turned out! I've changed a few things since this pic. You'll have to wait until the wedding to see the pics of it. ;)
 This was by far my favorite project. I am NOT a heels kind of girl. I am all about comfort. I swear to you I will wear flip flops until the first snow. They are just so comfy and easy to slip on! The white pair is mine. I doubt anyone will see them, but I don't care. I love them. The others are for my lovely bridesmaids. I want them to be comfy too!
 These don't fit the color scheme of the wedding, but I want the girls to have something cute that they can use every day and I feel like these fit. I hope they like them!!
Last but not least (not DIY either) is my ring! It finally came in and I LOVE it! Seriously, I could stare at it all day. <3

Check back! I'll be posting my last minute DIYs soon!

Ring Bearer Pillow

Mr. M and I are getting married June 21st, 2013. I know most of the time the brides parents pay for the wedding, but since both of my parents are no longer with us, we are paying for this ourselves. I knew right away that I wanted to make a lot of the items myself. I decided that I was going to make the ring bearer pillow one night and kind of threw this together. I absolutely LOVE the way this turned out! I'm sure I'll make a few more to see which one I like best, but this one might be it!!
Let me know what you think in the comments!!

Birthday Onesie!

Let me tell ya... Making all of these adorable little girly outfits is killing me! Someone needs to talk my sweet fiance into giving me more babies. Ha!
So, this onesie was made for a lovely customer who wanted something cute for her little Ladybug's 1st birthday. I was more than happy to make her exactly what she wanted! I had a little chiffon issue at first. Who knew this stuff frayed like crazy?! After getting that figured out, I was on a roll! I am so pleased with the finished product and I hope little miss is too!! If you would like a special birthday outfit for your little one, you can send me an email at coleescrafts@yahoo.com. I LOVE making custom items!!

Flubber!!


I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Flubber earlier today. After sitting around the house with three boys being bored out of our minds, I decided a project was much needed. So, I pulled up the Flubber recipe and herded everyone into the kitchen. My fiance was a little skeptical, but I was determined to entertain. Ha!
This stuff was SO easy to make AND I had the supplies on hand! My 2yo has been sitting at the kitchen table playing with this stuff for well over an hour! He's "hiding" his guys in it and making little bouncy balls. This was definitely what we needed for this boring day.

Here's the link to the recipe! http://frugalfunchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/04/flubber-recipe.html

I'm fairly sure this is one of my favorite orders! I love tutus! Throw in a cute appliqued onesie and I am in LOVE!!
