Hello, friends! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
At the end of the year I like to do a quick wrap up of some of my favorite projects from the last 12 months.
And that’s just what I have with you today!
So, in no particular order…
Quite possibly my favorite wreath to date. I think its the simplicity that really does it for me, but I also love how the yellow burlap pops off of the mossy green!
I love throwing birthday parties for my boys, and this cake for my 2 year old’s party really stole the show! Everyone thought the stadium wasn’t edible because it was silver. Be sure to see how I made it!
We spent a lot of the first half of the year giving my now 5 year old a bedroom makeover. Touches like this skyline really make his room unique and fun!
This is the first planter that my husband and I built together. I don’t think I’ll ever purchase one again!
And I love that I can customize the look with paint or stain.
If I make a project that makes my boys happy, then I am the happiest mommy on Earth. Both of my boys loved handing out these chalk Valentines to their friends!
A big highlight of our summer was pushing the boys on the tire swing. They could.not.get.enough.
Check out the tutorial and see how easy this DIY really is!
This scavenger hunt was SUCH a big hit with my boys! I actually need to print new cards because they wore the old ones out. I think we did weekly hunts all summer.
Back in February I co-hosted a jewelry week with my gal Bev at Flamingo Toes. This was my favorite piece I made that week! Click through and see Bev’s beautiful bracelet.
I can’t leave out my first ever sewing project! And not only that, but my little guys love wearing their dinosaur jackets. Now that makes me a happy mama.
I have been wanting to make a dahlia pillow for ages. And when I finally did and realized how simple it really was… let’s just say there will be more in the future. MANY more!
Happy 2013 2014, y’all!
I have started truncating my posts to avoid having my content stolen. I hope you’ll click over to finish reading the post. Thank you for understanding!
These projects look great, Michele! We just had a Cars party for my two year old son and he would have LOVED that cake!
Oh gosh these are all awesome!! What a great year you’ve had! I love all these – though that wreath much just be my fave. The moss with the burlap is just too perfect. I just adore you sweet friend and I’m super excited to see what 2014 brings!! 🙂
Ha!!! Its takes me about 3 months to adjust to writing a new year, Gail. I can’t wait to see your round up! I know you’ve made some amazing things this year, despite the back problems. You are a wonder woman! 🙂
Love them all Michele! 🙂 You’ve worked really hard this past year.
I’ll be doing my round-up next week.
You said “happy 2013” hahaha it’s so hard to move forward a year, isn’t it?
wishing you all the best in the coming year!
