Princess Peg Dolls

Make your very own princess peg dolls to play with, collect, or to give as gifts!

My daughter LOVES everything princess. So, as soon as I saw the adorable Disney-inspired dolls that Lil Blue Boo made, I knew I had to try to make some for my little princess, too! They are all hand-drawn and hand-painted. I've made two sets so far {one for my daughter, and one for a friend's daughter}. I can't wait to make more!

Refashioned Ruffle Skirt

A while ago we were able to score some t-shirts for only $1! I didn't have a plan for them, but I grabbed a bunch in different colors and knew I would come up with something eventually. Well, project number one was to come up with a new ruffly skirt for the little miss! I must admit, this is my first time EVER making anything with ruffles {gasp!}, but with a cooperating sewing machine and some patience, it turned out great!! So fun. Will definitely be making more.

Pretty cute, right? I love it!

Free Printable Owl Valentines

I was putting these together last night and was so happy with how they turned out
that I just had to show off my daughter's Valentines this year:

Super Simple Beef Stroganoff

Nothing like an easy-throw-it-in-the-CrockPot dinner! This is really an easy recipe, and practically fool-proof!

{Well, this fool didn't mess it up - so, I'm pretty sure you won't either...}

Ingredients:

1 lb Stew Meat {or cut up a roast into bite size pieces}

{Stew meat is pretty inexpensive, and I even got the butcher to cut it into pieces for me! Less work? Yes, please!}

1 packet Onion Soup Mix

2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup

1/2 cup Sour Cream

Cut up stew meat {if not already cut} and place in in CrockPot along with the entire packet of onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, longer for more tender meat.

Serve over rice or pasta. It tastes delicious either way!

Linking to these parties!

Valentine Wreath

This is probably one of the easiest wreaths I have ever made!

It only took about 10 minutes to put together, and cost about $5.

All you need is:

Hot Glue

Heart-Shaped Wreath Form
Feather Boa
1 Straight Pin

Most boas that I've seen have a knot and a loop tied at one end {see image above}. Put a pin through the knot and press into the wreath form. This will work as your wreath hanger!

Carefully hot glue the boa around the outside of the heart, starting on the top center. Glue a few inches at a time since hot glue dries quickly, and you won't want any of the feathers farther down the boa sticking to the glue. Once the outside of the wreath is covered, carefully cut the boa and glue the rest to the inside of the wreath.

And that's it! Would love to hear if you make one for yourself!

Valentine Clothesline Art

Sorry for the lack of *cleverness* in the title of this post...

but trust me, this is a fun and simple project - that costs almost nothing!

{That's pretty much my favorite description when talking about a holiday decoration}
